Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel hosts SINNE | SINN music symposium

The SINNE | SINN symposium series, focused on the theme ‘Raum| Musik’ (Space| Music), is scheduled for November 8 and 9, 2024, at the Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel. The event explores how space functions as a central dimension of auditory experience, perception, and communication in contemporary sound art.

Organized by Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel in collaboration with chiffren. Forum für zeitgenössische Musik, the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, and the Musikhochschule Lübeck, the symposium serves as an interdisciplinary forum for scientists and music enthusiasts. The program includes lectures and public concerts at the musiculum Kiel, featuring works by Sascha Lino Lemke, the MHL-Instrument Builder Ensemble, and avant-garde composer Alvin Lucier.

Related academic research into sound art emphasizes the unity of sound art and audio technology, examining space as a transformative element. Studies on events like ‘Sympoiesis’ demonstrate how multi-channel playback systems and acoustic ecology can create multisensory environments that engage audiences through interactive spatial sound design.
