Performing live and electronic sound; reinterpreting 20th Century music for a new audience

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

This knowledge exchange places composer / sound artist Rob Godman within Stapleford Granary Arts Centre, working with CEO / clarinettist Dr Kate Romano. Together, they will decipher, analyse and interpret a body of little-known, unpublished music for clarinet and electronics composed in the pre-digital 1970-80s by American pioneer William O Smith (1929 - 2000). We seek to create and disseminate new performance materials for Smith’s obsolete music, opening up a ‘dead spot’ in the repertoire. We will bring this neglected repertoire into historical performance discourse, whilst asking the question: to what extent is it possible to ‘future-proof’ music?
