Event overview
Electronic Music Studios Concert With Guest Artist Janek Schaefer
ELECTRONIC MUSIC STUDIOS CONCERT in the Great Hall, featuring work made in Goldsmiths by BMus, MMus and PhD students and highlighting guest artist Janek Schaefer who will also be doing a talk on his practice at 5pm in PSH LG01.
Janek Schaefer studied Architecture at the Royal College of Art where he worked with Brian Eno and Artangel, creating “Recorded Delivery” in 1995, and discovered how important sound is in perceiving space, and place. His foundsound concerts and installations explore the spatial, social and emotional qualities that sound can communicate, through the twisting of old and new technology. The context of each idea is central to its development and resolution, often exploring themes of appropriation, accident, & alteration. Janek has exhibited, lectured, and performed widely, in every country in Europe [Sonar, Tate Modern, Pompidou, ICA, Strasbourg Museum of Modern Art], Japan, USA, Canada, [XI, Walker Art Center, Mutek, Princeton], and Australia [Sydney Opera House]. He has released 30 albums with labels around the world, and in 2008 he won the British Composer of the Year Award in Sonic Art, and a Paul Hamlyn Award. The Bluecoat Gallery in Liverpool exhibited a Retrospective of his career to date in 2009. He is represented by the Agency gallery, London, and is a Visiting Professor at Oxford Brookes Sonic Art Research Unit. He lives and works in Walton-on-Thames, UK. [www.janekschaefer.com]
