BERLIN - Symposium on Archiving and Re-Performing Electroacoustic Music AREM2024 – “Technologies” November 29-30, 2024

 

Fourth edition of the biannual Symposium on Archiving and Re-Performing Electroacoustic Music

AREM2024 – “Technologies”

November 29-30, 2024 online/Berlin

Everything we know about music derives from a very heterogeneous set of sources including the live experience, related objects, paper-based sources, and nowadays also more and more digital content. With the transfer of digital or digitized content and connected technologies into archives, it is necessary to change both native digital and digitized content into archivable formats and selections. This requires creative solutions for the challenge of transferring these sources to archiving institutions and being able to store them there. How to structure and classify this content related to the non-digital sources? What is archived and what is not – and how may this influence future performances? Or are completely different approaches needed to preserve pieces of music for analysis, listening and performance? Participants from various fields such as music research, archival science, media studies, archiving institutions and performance will present their projects and ideas, and discuss the various approaches and challenges.
