The Lost Voices of Electronic Music

Description

The dominant narratives of electronic music tend to centre around institutions including the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, radio studios such as WDR (Germany), INA-GRM (France), PRES (Poland), and NHK (Japan) as well as Universities including Princeton and Columbia, and the activity of composers associated with them. While their contribution to electronic music culture and history cannot be denied, the shadow of these institutions looms large enough that it can obscure those who did not benefit from such institutional support.

The University of Huddersfield and the Centre for Research in New Music (CeReNeM), as part of the AHRC-funded Ernest Berk: An Expressionist Outsider project, are hosting a symposium to discuss alternative or competing narratives in historical electronic music, with an intention to showcase lost, marginalised, or unexplored voices, from 1945-1990.
