Young's SoundPlay awaded first prize in Musica Nova 2023, Prague

John Young's SoundPlay for piano and electroacoustic sounds has been awarded first prize in the instrumental category of the Music Nova Competition, Prague, and will be presented in a concert in Prague on 15 December, streamed on the Czech and Slovak Republic radio.  SoundPlay uses high definition audio samples taken from a very dilapidated upright piano that used to be located in the basement of DMU's Clephan Building. Young worked with digital transformations of these sounds to blend them with the equal tempered tuning of the concert piano.The work was premiered in Leicester in November 2022 by Swedish pianist Eva Sidén.

The AHRC Sensing the Forest project is organising a series of three fortnightly online seminar talks with experts related to artistic, social and scientific interventions in the forest or other natural landscapes with a special focus on acoustic phenomena.

The last but not least online seminar will take place on Wed, 15 Nov 2023 15:00 - 16:30 UK time (UTC+0 GMT) - see https://www.timeanddate.com for other timezones.

We will have the following presentations:
