Aesthetics of Computer Music: Changes in the Nature and Reception of Music
Date: 7th November 2017
Time: 12:00 – 17:30
This workshop explores the impact that the latest developments in computer music have on how we receive and research music. The discussion will bring together many different perspectives – music research, psychology of music, philosophy, composition, performance – with the aims of collating the research that is being carried out on the topic and of considering how the various results intersect with each other.
