STRATEGIES FOR THE FUTURE OF SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE AND EXPRESSION
Sustainability
Heritage
Technology
Education
In this special conference we welcome participation from all areas, proposing to communicate your work on scientific and cultural heritage which is thought to be relevant to sound and musical instrument research and creative output, comprising innovative technology and issues regarding sustainability (matters on preservation of rare species and forest genetic resources are among these). We strongly invite all those who care and are willing to step forward with solutions and propositions concerning the four main topics, to be discussed and summoned during the conference days.
ANIMUSIC's Organological Congresses have a limited number of accepted proposals in order to stimulate close contacts between the community and personal involvement in the supported activities, intermingling participants from all over the world. We avoid parallel sessions and promote interdisciplinary exchange, fomenting panels and open discussions. Furthermore, we propose visits to places of cultural importance which are different every year. The Organizing and Scientific Committees have included, for the program of 2017, special recitals and concerts with traditional historic and innovative instruments, namely visiting some of the over 50 historical organs of Porto, composer’s Dr Graham Hair and Scottish Voices superlative music, Ancient Music Ireland presenting the new replicas of the Irish/British Iron Age trumpets (trumpa mór) and a pair of traditional Nepalese narsingra in comparison, ‘Body Music: Japanese Bunraku revisited’ from the project KikiT VisuoSonic presented by Professor Maurice Owen from Southampton Solent University, and a special performance by the archeao-ethnographic music research group from Chile ‘La Chimuchina’ (with the possible support from the Chilean government); exhibition/ENCONTROIM (encounter for makers and collectors of musical instruments); a Skype-presentation from one of the founders of sustainability in music, directly from the USA, Professor Jeff Titon; discussion, panels, roundtables and a brain storm session; workshops and a pioneer Maker's LAB where makers have the chance to explain in detail their original inventions and projects, showing the participants the actual practice; and also the presentation of the newest project in education which is being developed by ANIMUSIC.
ANIMUSIC was created as a platform for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and experience.
We are an open society dedicated to the study of sound and musical instruments in an interdisciplinary approach, uniting science and art. We welcome participation in all our activities, including conferences and workshops, strongly believing in the importance of our field for the general understanding and fruition of our planet’s rich natural and human created heritage.
Our project started over twenty years ago and was legally established as a research institution in 2010, in Portugal, with members joining from all over the world. A network of exchange and mutual help was naturally generated along the years.
ANIMUSIC is non-governmental, non-political and non-profit – it receives financial support from our generous benefactors to foster our projects. Being known as the “positive thinkers & doers”, we are thankful to the open-source community, contributing ourselves as volunteers in this work. We also state our gratefulness to the fabulous people and great institutions who generously cooperate with us, helping to make “things happen”.
