Musical Polyphony (English)

Processes of separation and division, power games, negotiations and refusals are not merely depicted in music, but are actually embedded within the practice of polyphony itself. This makes polyphony an important component of artistic intervention in social space. Focusing on the practice of contemporary experimental music, music theatre, and sound art, the research project »Musical Polyphony as Experimental Sociality« uses an updated concept of polyphony – one that adopts a critical attitude and is emancipated from tonal structures, with the infrastructure of collectives a central research question. Prof. Dr. Ariane Jeßulat and Dr. Tom Rojo Poller talk about this in the interview.
