Sonic Club: Thursday 4th April 2024
18:00 to 21:00
Museum of Impossible Forms, Aallonhalkoja 9 L1, 00540 Helsinki
Sonic Club is a gathering of audio, radio and listening enthusiasts and all those interested in engaging with sonic explorations. On April 4th, at Museum of Impossible Forms' new location, we're excited to bring to Helsinki ethnomusicologist and singer, the wonderful Prof. Rasika Ajotikar!
The event will bring together Rasika's musical and scholarly reflections on what it means to sing, learn and think about music. Given that artistic or creative practice often bears traces of a historical baggage marked by exploitative politics, one often struggles to confront the impasses that arise out of the entanglement of politics and art. This presentation draws on specific genres of Indian music to think through such impasses in an attempt to bring together theory and practice. While it will draw on specific genres of Indian music, the presentation hopes to exit a culturalist interpretation and hopes to think about music as form.
Bio
Rasika is a singer trained in the Hindustani music tradition and has been exploring diverse genres and styles of music over the past two decades. She is also an ethnomusicologist currently working as Junior Professor at the University of Hildesheim in Germany.
The event is free of charge, a warm welcome!
Schedule:
18.00: Doors open, refreshments
18.30: Talk by Rasika Ajotikar and conversation
Sonic Club is supported by the Finnish Culture Foundation.
