Orpheus Sounds

Ton Koopman shaped the sound and the intellectual position of the movement to discover how the musicians of the past might have performed the music of their time. Orpheus Instituut is very grateful for the acquisition of the Ton Koopman collection, now integrated into the work of the Resounding Libraries research cluster:  https://orpheusinstituut.be/en/projects/resounding-libraries --- References: Charles Burney - A general history of music, from the earliest ages to the present period https://www.loc.gov/item/36034066/ John Hawkins - A general history of the science and practice of music https://www.loc.gov/item/03027652/ Dieterich Buxtehude https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieterich_Buxtehude --- You can get in touch with us via [email protected]  Orpheus Sounds is a series of snapshots of Orpheus Instituut, a research center where we explore the making and understanding of music. https://orpheusinstituut.be  Made with the support of Wederik de Baecker, Pieter Blomme and Kayo Quintens.

Our doctoral researcher Alicia Reyes talks about her work exploring what music means in a world which is not only focussed on humanity. How do we create a more equitable environment, and what can the otherworldly and half-organic shape of plastics formed over decades by the power of the sea bring to a musical and theatrical experience?  --- References: Donna Haraway - Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staying_with_the_Trouble Plastigomerates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastiglomerate 'Plastics of the Mediterranean' https://www.luftmeer-editorial.com/plastics-of-the-mediterranean/  by Matteo Guarnaccia and Teresa Fernández-Pello Heiner Goebbels - Aesthetics of Absence: Texts on Theatre https://www.heinergoebbels.com/heiner-goebbels/texts-by-hg/1568 Matthias Rebstock and David Roesner - Composed Theatre: Aesthetics, Practices, Processes https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/C/bo12313703.html 'Re/Making Plastiglomerates' by Allie E.S.

Welcome to Orpheus Sounds! We are Magno Caliman and Arabella Pare, and we are excited to introduce this series of snapshots of Orpheus Instituut, a research center where we explore the making and understanding of music. Here, we are going to invite the researchers, colleagues and guests of Orpheus to come and tell us about why they are so passionate about their work. The curtain is rising, and you're invited to join us behind the scenes, to get the inside perspective on what makes music matter, how it works, and why these questions captivate some of the most curious minds in our field: Artistic Research in Music.  After the episode, you will hear the material from which all of our signature sounds emerge; an unfiltered impression of Orpheus' sounds.
