Professor Roger Redgate, Professor of Composition will deliver his inaugural lecture 'Aesthetics of Resistance: Composition as Research'
Professor Roger Redgate, Professor of Composition will deliver his inaugural lecture 'Aesthetics of Resistance: Composition as Research'
During his lecture, Roger will address the following issues with reference to his own work as a composer, performer and improviser:
• What is the motivation for writing such music in the current cultural environment?
• Is there a case for an aesthetics of resistance, where art might be an arena for new models of political action and social understanding?
• The works themselves often combine complex notational strategies, multilayered parametric processes and elements of improvisation.
• Can such music whose focus centres on the process of realisation as an integral component of material, form a legitimate field of research?
The lecture will be followed by a reception (at about 6.30pm) in the Council Chamber, Deptford Town Hall Building.
This lecture is free and un-ticketed but those wishing to attend are asked to RSVP to the Warden’s Office: inaugurals@gold.ac.uk.
