The three-day Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival 2008 includes performances, lectures, installations, workshops of contemporary acoustic, electroacoustic, lm, jazz, improvisation and vocal experimentation. It showcases computer music research and new creative developments at the University of Plymouth as well as promoting performers and composers from around the UK and Europe.
At Interface, a series of short performances by members of the University’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research, Marcelo Gimenes improvises in tandem with an intelligent computer piano improviser. The theme of ‘Interface’ is twofold: bringing together traditional musicians with technology; and bringing together music-lovers with the latest cutting edge techniques in performance and composition.
