Music of the future
This weekend, brains will be making music — and not in the usual way. The Thinking Music Festival, Plymouth University’s annual Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival, starts this Friday, and its focus is to explore how advances in science and computer technology are changing music — from how it’s understood, to how it’s listened to, played and performed. We spoke to professor, composer and music researcher Eduardo Reck Miranda, one of the festival’s directors (Simon Ible, Director of Music at Plymouth, is the other) about some of the performances, and what the 21st century might hold in store for music.
