Polish Composers’ Union (Poland) in partnership with Berg Orchestra (Czechia), Waves Bratislava (Slovakia), UMZE Association (Hungary) invite composers, musicians, musicologists, music theorists, representatives of musical organisations and institutions, environmentalists, ecologists and other experts interested in the subject to participate in an international online scientific conference devoted to the idea of renewability in music.
Renewable Music
The term ‘renewable music’ was coined in reference to ‘renewable resources’, aiming at focusing attention on global sustainability crisis and encouraging dialogue on this subject in the contemporary music community. One can state that all music is renewable at its core, as music material is inexhaustible. Each performance brings a unique artists’ interpretation and thus renews the listener’s perception of a piece. Going beyond this definition requires considering music’s renewability on the level of production, performance and consumption. This conference intends to open international dialog on this subject and delve deeper in the search for different meanings of this multidimensional metaphor.
The ’Renewable Music’ project partners feel that there is a huge need for music and culture in general to renew themselves after the period of stagnation due to COVID-19, and there are important changes to be introduced if we want to shape more sustainable future in the music sector. In the summer of 2024 four newly commissioned pieces of music inspired by the concept of renewability in music will premiere at open-air concerts in the Visegrad Group countries. What issues stand behind this concept for the composers participating in the project?
- renewal of human’s relationship to nature through music,
- renewed engagement of audiences through music that touches current issues such as sustainable development,
- renewal of tradition through reinterpretation and reinvention of its elements,
- renewal of musical form by challenging the boundaries of conventional forms,
- reuse of extra-musical elements which brings new associations,
- recontextualization of music in different spaces and environments, including open-air concerts, site-specific performances, immersive installations etc.,
- reassessment of the value and potential of everyday objects as instruments, including creation of new instruments from recycled materials.
