Programme description

This is a learning-by-projects course where theory and practice are combined to design and implement a project that explores technology to foster and potentiate music practice and musicianship across different fields of music, including composition, performance, sound design, interpretation, expression and music education. The participants will be presented with a comprehensive range of contents that gather the musical knowledge and cultural heritage of western music tradition and education, with the development of new musical formats and practices made possible by technology. Using recent technologies, interfaces and resources (hardware and software), the participants will be invited to participate in the creation of a collective musical performance where they can join their own musical backgrounds and expertise to new resources developed during the program. The performance will be presented in public concerts in the cities of Castelo Branco (Portugal) and Cáceres (Spain).
