Artists Amandine Casadamont and Madeleine Leclair present a live sonic creation built from vinyl records drawn from their respective collections. Through delicate turntable techniques and attentive listening, they weave together musical traditions of the Tout-monde with experimental, concrete and ambient sound worlds. The performance foregrounds texture, resonance and slow transformations, inviting an immersive listening experience that balances archival ritual and improvisatory exploration. Sparse staging and close sonic detail create an intimate, contemplative atmosphere.
Thomas Burkhalter, ethnomusicologist, presents as part of the Master in Ethnomusicology lecture cycle. His talk offers a focused, research-informed presentation followed by a discussion with students. The session explores methodological approaches and analytic perspectives in contemporary ethnomusicology, examining how fieldwork, sound analysis and cultural context inform interpretation. Participants will gain insight into research practices and thematic concerns shaping the discipline.
