On Wednesday (May 25), the Experimental Music Studio jumped in a van and travelled to Macquarie University in Sydney. We attended a seminar where our very own Dr Alec Hunter was the keynote speaker and he gave a presentation on free improvisation and musical anarchy. Our colleague, Marcello Messina, who is currently based in Sydney, also gave a presentation where he talked about the challenges facing composers who embark on practise-based research projects. The EMS also performed at the seminar, playing pieces by EMS members Alec Hunter, Ben Drury, and myself, as well as a free-improvised set.
