SERENDIPITY

A JOURNEY THROUGH NEURO-INSPIRATION AND CREATIVITY

Serendipity is a subtle mixture of chance and the determination that something will happen. In science, two ideas encounter one another by chance and their fusion makes something exist that did not previously.

Neurobiology is a source of inspiration for art and technology. On this journey through neurology and creativity, we shall talk and experiment with neuro-inspired systems, and we shall discuss the mysterious biological reason for art. We shall present synaesthetic systems, like Musical Vision, a technology that generates music from images, or Colored Music, which colours sounds. We shall delve in to the intricate secrets of the brain through images and small scientific pills in a magical show of light and sound.

ESMUC and electronic music

Young musicians from the Catalonia College of Music (ESMUC) will play pieces by students or graduates of composition from the school, together with pieces by international composers. A concert with an interdisciplinary and experimental aim that will fuse the classical standards with the newest methods of creation and performance.

ESMUC Coordination: David Albet, Head of the Department of Classical and Contemporary Music and Eduard Resina, Head of the Department of Theory, Direction and Composition
