Underskog

Ultima Academy is a series of talks, lectures and panel discussions and is free and open to anyone interested in knowing more about the ideas that underlie this year’s festival programme.

Students from the Department of Musicology at the University of Oslo present their composition project. The pieces were written in collaboration with composer and academic Peter Edwards over four workshops during the spring of 2016.

The project is both practical and theoretical and its starting points are geographic locations or buildings in Oslo, including concert venues that have been used for previous Ultima festivals. The students have acquired knowledge about these places and their associated sounds. Starting here, they have developed electroacoustic compositions recounting the history story behind each place.

The students that have composed the pieces presented is:

Toralf W. Nørbech
Hedda Andersen
Tor A. Svendsen
Sebastian Werge Bøyesen

The compositions will be presented in the entrance hall of Gymsalen as a part of Ultima Academy

Friday 9 + Saturday 10 September from 13 to 16
