This channel contains outputs from events resulting from the AHRC funded Sonic Writing research project (www.sonicwriting.org).
The Sonic Writing research project is a two-year (Feb 2016-Feb 2018) research programme that will result in a monograph to be published by Bloomsbury in 2018. The research plan involves diverse activities, such as symposia, workshops and a conference, with international partners: STEIM, IRCAM, C4DM, CMC and CNMAT.
The project explores work and practices using new technologies for musical expression. Through tracing the historical conditions of material and symbolic design in in three interconnected strands of inscription - instruments, notation, and phonography - the project studies how established techniques are translated into new methods of musical composition and performance in digital musical media.
