The answers to these pivotal questions entail a meeting point between interactive music technology and embodied music cognition, what Alexander Refsum Jensenius calls “embodied music technology.” Moving between objective description and subjective narrative of his own musical experiences, Jensenius explores why music makes people move, how the human body can be used in musical interaction, and how new technologies allow for active musical experiences. The development of new music technologies, he demonstrates, has fundamentally changed how music is performed and perceived.
The launch will feature an introduction to the book by Alexander Refsum Jensenius (Director of RITMO and Professor at the Department of Musicology) and a panel of invited guests:
- Christina Kobb (assistant professor NMH, pianist)
- Victoria Johnson (senior lecturer IMV, violinist)
- Hans T. Zeiner-Henriksen (associate professor IMV)
The launch will be moderated by Peter Edwards.
