De-colonising the history of sound art & electronic music


An open lecture by Cedrik Fermont.

In the 21st century, is it not time to de-colonise the history of sound art, electronic and experimental music?

This open lecture presents a parallel history of sound art, musique concrète, experimental and electronic music – a western and male centered history that can easily be debunked.

In this lecture, the artist and activist Cedrik Fermont, guides us from the early Soviet experiments in electronic and synthetic music of the 1920:s into the development of electroacoustic music and sound art in Egypt, South Korea, South Africa, Cuba, Argentina, Iran, Turkey and Indonesia throughout the 1940:s and 1950:s.

This open lecture is part of the independent course Sound as Critical Practice (30 ECT) and held in English. Admission free event

Warm welcome!
