3 days and nights of talks, workshops and performances exploring the role of systems in creative practice.

We are delighted to be working with University of Sheffield Sound Studios and the Department of Music to present Composing (with) Systems. The event will span 3 days and nights and will see performances,  papers, presentations and demonstrations on the role of systems in creative practice. 

Performances include multi-channel electroacoustic works by Simon Emmerson, live-coding duo Epiploke and Trevor Wishart’s Hieronymus Bosch inspired piece The Garden of Earthly Delights.

There will be over 20 sessions across the 3 days – highlights include: a workshop with Alex McLean and Lucy Cheesman, demonstrations from Paul Wolinski, a discussion and workshop led with Mark Fell, an installation with Lorenzo Prati and a full session on Cage’s compositional systems.
