Strefa Ruchu: Czy nowa muzyka jest inkluzywna kulturowo?

The uni­ver­sal­ist aspi­ra­tions of Euro­pean and Amer­i­can West­ern new music were meant to be a nega­tion of the colo­nial exclu­siv­i­ty of Roman­tic music. 

From mul­ti­cul­tur­al inspi­ra­tions and bor­row­ings, the past half-cen­tu­ry has seen a move toward the prac­tice of hand­ing com­po­si­tion­al voice to rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the Glob­al South. But are the means of expres­sion root­ed in the Mod­ernist tra­di­tion, the aes­thet­ic path­ways blazed by West­ern avant-gardists, and indeed the very insti­tu­tion of the author and the work not equal­ly con­strain­ing a corset as major-minor tonal­i­ty or clas­si­cal Euro­pean coun­ter­point? Can a cul­ture that counts Webern, Cage, Stock­hausen, and Reich among its found­ing fathers be cred­i­ble and con­tem­po­rary in Java, in Mum­bai, and at the Cape of Good Hope in the era of an emerg­ing new world order?

All of this will be dis­cussed by Michał Mendyk with prac­ti­tion­ers and the­o­rists of musi­cal art who occu­py non-obvi­ous posi­tions in the con­tem­po­rary cul­tur­al land­scape: Mag­dale­na Tejch­ma — a jour­nal­ist from Pro­gramme 2 of Pol­skie Radio and a per­cep­tive researcher of non-West­ern musi­cal tra­di­tions; Was­sim Ibrahim — a Syr­i­an com­pos­er asso­ci­at­ed with the Kraków Acad­e­my of Music; and Miłosz Pękala — a vir­tu­oso, com­pos­er, and ped­a­gogue for whom the world of glob­al per­cus­sion has become a gate­way to entire­ly new musi­cal universes.
