Ivar Grydeland, Torben Snekkestad and Michael F Duch
"Love your Latency: Harmonizing from Afar" A collaborative online performance project by CreaTeME (UiA), the Norwegian Academy of Music (NMH), and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
For musicians who thrive on improvisation, the shared physical space is traditionally vital. It forms the foundation for the real-time creation of music together. However, venturing into the realm of improvisation online, across different locations and spaces, introduces both new challenges and exciting possibilities—both socially and artistically. This presentation marks the debut of the Love your Latency project, contributing to the ever-evolving landscape of musical collaboration in the digital age. Presented by Ivar Grydeland (CreaTeME), Torben Snekkestad (Norwegian Academy of Music), Michael F Duch (NTNU).
Digital technologies are bringing significant changes to both music education and society at large. As an educational institution, it is essential for us to address these changes in our research, artistic development, and teaching. Therefore, University of Agder has established CreaTeME, a Center for Excellent Education focused on creative use of technology in higher music education. Our vision is innovative, inclusive, responsive, and responsible use of technology in artistic education, and our main goal is to become an international hub for the development of artistic and pedagogical use of technology in higher music education.
The center’s expertise is strengthened through a large number of partners, both local, national, and international.
The center aims to generate knowledge that can be disseminated widely within the field of arts education and other disciplines where technological development can have similar consequences.
