Fellowship focus: Historical technologies in the digital age: music for traverso and analogue synthesisers.
During this Fellowship, Dr Gemolo and Dr Armstrong will make use of Surrey’s Music and Media Synth Lab to create a new piece for the baroque flute and synthesisers. Dr Gemolo’s expertise in 18th-century performance practice, his research on the traverso in contemporary music and his experience of contemporary festival curation will be shared with students of composition, performance and sound recording at the University. Activities will include a one-day symposium on historical instruments in contemporary music, a workshop on artistic entrepreneurship and a research roundtable with PhD students.
