Orpheus Sounds

Arabella Pare, Magno Caliman

Orpheus Sounds is a podcast from Orpheus Instituut in Gent, a research institution where we explore the making and understanding of music. We bring musicians, researchers, instruments, books, and above all, curiosity to the conversation. We offer exploratory conversations with our researchers, guests, and associates of Orpheus Instituut, discovering together what is so exciting about their work with music and sound. We offer candid acoustic "snapshots" of our circle of colleagues and friends, discussing the music, the practices and the ideas which shape our views of the world. Everyone here has their own approach, and so we offer an enormous range of ideas and experiences. If it is musical or related to sound, someone here is probably enthusiastically gaining knowledge with, through, and from it! This is artistic research in music: we offer unique perspectives on the questions (and sometimes even the answers) behind the music of the past, the present, and the future.

    Alicia Reyes - Music Beyond the Human

    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.
