SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: Colin Harrington "Improvisation in Sequencer-based Electronic Dance Music"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Thursday\, February 8 at 12:00 PM for Thinking Spaces: “Improvisation in Sequencer-based Electronic Dance Music” with Colin Harrington.  \n\nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph\, as well as online via Zoom. As always\, our Thinking Spaces events are free! \n\nMore about this talk:\nThe culture and technology of Electronic Music has seen tremendous developments over the last decade. Thanks to the increased availability\, affordability and accessibility of equipment\, the artform’s popularity has exploded worldwide. One booming area is that of “Sequencer-based Improvisation”\, which entails the synchronizing of one or more instruments together via a “Master Clock”\, then using sequencers\, sound design\, audio mixers\, and effects\, to spontaneously compose fluid and spontaneous music in real-time. \nAlthough many different styles of music can be explored within this medium\, it is most popularly expressed within the stylistic framework and motivations inherent in Electronic Dance Music\, a genre with a rich cultural and technological history\, as well as a unique reciprocal relationship with the audience. \nWe will discuss a brief history of the technology and the cultural history of electronic dance music\, and how specific pieces of equipment changed the genre. As well as how all these factors spawned a unique type of improvisation\, and why it differs from other improvisational artforms.  \nThe presentation will be followed by an open studio session\, workshopping a wide selection of synchronized electronic instruments. \nMore about the speaker:\nColin Harrington is a Guelph based multimedia artist\, A/V technician\, and multidisciplinary musician. He performs in a “live hardware” electronic project called MOONBEAN\, who has toured Canada and Europe playing semi-improvised dance music. He also produces and directs music videos\, and works for IICSI as a technician in their ImprovLab at University of Guelph. \n\n\nTo attend the talk in-person or online\, RSVP via our Google Forms.
