Event overview
How the Vibraphone is a Mouth
Corey Mwamba will present his research as a reflection of his vibraphone practice. This practice, which is rooted in jazz practical philosophies, considers the vibraphone as an analogue to the mouth. Through performance, research reading, and prose, this presentation hopes to provoke new ways of thinking about personal sound on the vibraphone in jazz and improvised music instrument.
Corey is a Ph.D. researcher at Birmingham City University, where he is funded by M3C-AHRC. He is a musician, promoter and arts advocate, and predominantly plays the vibraphone, performing with the trio, yana.
The Music Research Series is designed to help postgraduate students advance their research and careers. The events stimulate exchange, hones skills, facilitates the creation of professional networks and helps to consolidate the department’s postgraduate community, all over a glass of wine! Attendance is strongly recommended for all postgraduate students (MA, MMus and PGR) in Music but of course undergraduates, music researchers, and visitors from across the college and the community are also most welcome to these public lectures.
