EKA New Media x Dreamscape lectures with Steve Goodman (aka Kode9) and more

What does the future hold for electronic music, and how will we adapt? Electronic music is full of innovative ideas, but it can also be a closely guarded, introverted art form. As new threats and opportunities emerge daily, now seems the right moment to open up and discuss the processes and ideas behind the sounds we love.

On 13 November, Dreamscape and EKA New Media present three lectures at the EKA Auditorium by three figures who push the medium forward. Steve Goodman (aka Kode9), “Sound Cloud / Data Cloud / Kill Cloud”, looks at how contemporary conflict relates to sound in the age of machine listening, from acoustic weapons to AI in defence and surveillance. Silvia Kastel, “Exploring music-induced reward, emotions and curiosity across neurotypes”, draws on her PhD in cognitive psychology and neuroscience.

Piotr Gwadera, “Beyond the Binary Pulse: Polish Triple-Meter Rhythms in Contemporary Electronic Music”, explores the oberek dance and its links with Chicago footwork. The event is free. Supported by the Tallinn Education Department and eesti.ai.
