UWA School of Music is a vibrant centre for research in music and music education, where a thriving community of scholars is engaged in exploring the frontiers of knowledge, working on a wide range of research projects with diverse outputs.
A free weekly seminar series, with presenters from within UWA and from the wider community. This week we welcome 2 guest presenters: Dobromila Jaskot: Voice and Instrument: Organic Merging The closest relation between the performer and the instrument in Dobromila Jaskot’s works is the subject of the presentation. It concerns a search for merged ways of expressivity by a human as an instrumental performer. How to devise a hierarchy within a single complex instrumental part? What does ‘organic’ mean? What does ‘human expressivity’ mean? Where is the limit of articulation possibilities? Dominik Karski - Flute Physicality Dominik Karski’s presentation focuses on his flute works, as collaborations with flautists specialising in new music have formed a significant thread in his creative work. The main aim of the talk is to illustrate how composer-performer collaboration and in-depth research into performance techniques can inform a compositional approach where the physicality of sound production is the primary source of the musical substance.
