Cut & Splice 2005: Dots and Lines
The Gap Between Ideas and Experience
Sonic Arts Network and BBC Radio 3 are proud to announce the programme for the most ambitious Cut and Splice to date. This year’s Cut and Splice presents DOTS AND LINES, a cluster of events that explore the idea of notation and the relationship between score, image, text and sound in electronic music and sound art.
Focusing on the gap between ideas and experience, between abstract concepts and their relation to the tangible, DOTS AND LINES considers the analytical, performative and documentary nature of music as written document and code. It throws into relief our very concept of what constitutes the musical experience and considers the complex dialogue between time based and static art forms.
The series includes gallery and online exhibitions, a concert series, and weekly radio programmes for Radio 3’s Hear and Now.
Cut & Splice is an annual festival of performance and exhibition that explores key themes and ideas in the history of art, technology and music. It is co-curated by the BBC and Sonic Arts Network and it takes place in May each year. Each year the festival showcases the work of the leading artists in the field of radical electronic music and digital sound art.
