Analysis Workgroup Meeting
Hello ACTORians!
Our Analysis Workgroup will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Friday, January 26, 11:30-13:00 ET. All interested ACTOR members are welcome to join us, whether or not they've been to meetings of this group before. https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/2632309272
Workgroup participants are welcome to bring topics for discussion, including any ongoing or new projects involving music analysis and timbre/orchestration. This session will include an update on the analysis of our CORE (composer-performer research ensemble) pieces, including the use of the OrchView application for annotation and data coding, plus plans for an issue of the Revue Musicale OICRM on CORE.
Looking forward to Friday the 26! Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
All the best,
Bob
ACTOR Chinese/East Asian Music Workgroup meeting
For the past four months, Lena Heng and I have been organizing meetings of an ACTOR workgroup focusing on Chinese and East Asian music. Our meetings so far have included discussions and presentations on Chinese music theory, the contemporary Chinese orchestra, and analysis of traditional music for Chinese instruments as well as new compositions by Jia Guoping and Guo Wenjing. And in an upcoming workgroup meeting (April 8, 13:00 EDT), we'll be welcoming Lei Liang (UCSD) to talk about his piece Tremors of a Memory Chord for piano and Chinese orchestra... if you'd like to attend, send me an email (robert.hasegawa[at]mcgill.ca) and I'll share the Zoom link!
