Event overview
Just on/in Time: Signing Off On Things Through The Signature Of Time. A Post-Operative Report
Distinguished British composer Brian Ferneyhough will give a lecture following his award of Honorary Doctorate by Goldsmiths.
Of his lecture, Ferneyhough says: "In recent years I have been working through the dimly mutual relationship between abstract time structure and various craggy manifestations of in situ impossibility.
As a result, I have focused in on the intersection of process and its residues as an object for further definition/obfuscation. Sometimes it works more or less as envisaged, sometimes it sinuously mutates into a further crusty 'whatever'. An intellectual farrago/chaos."
All welcome, not just for graduates!
