The project works along two axes. It will start with Science and Sound, a monthly reading group open to the whole Music Futures network, in which the participants will collaboratively approach and discuss key texts on emergent STS approaches to sound and music (see IAS events calendar for further details).

These meetings lead up toÌýa public event scheduled for the summer 2022, in which research on sound will merge with performance. Date TBC.

The project as a whole explores novel ways of presenting historical research on music and sound science, and create fertile new connections between Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø’s sound research community, curators of partnering museums and collections, and musicians, artists and listeners involved in contemporary musical experimentation. Organised and facilitated by Chiara Ambrosio and Maria Kiladi, the public performance will showcase the work of PhD students Cathy Lucas and Elena Ktori, who will present aspects of their research in hybrid lecture-performances with their collaborators.
