Live generated animations, acoustic piano improvisation, biofeedback and electroacoustic performance are combined in this innovative concert that explores the overlaps between music, emotion and art and marks the end of half year residency by artist Adinda van ‘t Klooster at the Durham University Music Department. Virtuoso pianists Nick Collins and John Snijders interpret some of the artist’s graphical scores created during the residency, and two new audiovisual interfaces are launched: one that detects emotion in musicians using biosensors and one that detects emotion in live piano music. The development of these interfaces has been heavily influenced by research in music and emotion previously undertaken by Professor Tuomas Eerola who has advised on the project at regular intervals.
A postgraduate student’s contribution consists of Matthew Warren’s composition ‘Three Expressions’ that was composed exploring the theme of emotions and won the Affect Formations student competition.
The concert will be followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Nick Collins, Reader in Composition, John Snijders, Reader in Performance, Tuomas Eerola, Professor of Music Cognition and artist Dr. Adinda van 't Klooster. The discussion will be led by Prof Janet Stewart, director of the Centre for Visual Arts and Cultures at Durham University.
