About the event
Ultima 2023 opens with a showcase of pop-up concerts, performances, sound installations, talks and workshops at the Norwegian Academy of Music. As part of this event, researchers from the Department of Musicology, UiO, will introduce a selection of ongoing research projects.
Join us to hear more about topics including: how folk music archives are coming to life thanks for new tools for searching databases; how music is changing lives in prisons; what we can learn about rhythm when we understand it thought dance and not just through listening; how new digital music production platforms are changing how we make music; and what happens when we track the movements of an entire symphony orchestra in concert.
