The SPOR of the future lies 10 years back

SPOR is unique because the festival, like few others, uncompromisingly places scored music and sound art on a par, and every year sends classical music’s rigid set of rules packing. In 2005, a group of young composers paved the way for the festival we know today, with an annual guest curator and an international vision. But it was the programme proposal for the 2007 festival that with the question Composing What? solidly planted SPOR’s clear curatorial concept in Aarhus and laid the foundation for every succeeding SPOR festival, its artistic leadership and growing international family.

    ... too wide a field. Sound Art in Berlin.
    "Looking at SoundArt in Berlin today, we find not only an evolved art form, but a unique cultural situation, making this city still one of the worlds most lively SoundArt centres. The history of SoundArt in Berlin is here traced back to the 1970s when the Western part of the divided city became a centre of cross-disciplinary and experimental art. To understand the subsequent development, the article starts with the underlying cultural and political situation of Berlin in the last few decades."

    Objective: The object
    Is there a line from Mahler to Simon Steen-Andersen? From a fin-de-siècle symphony to a 21st century avant-garde investigation of technological possibilities? Well maybe, the author argues, if modernism in music is seen as an interest in sounding objects.
