Dissolve Music @ MIT: Spatial Sound Festival February 19-21, 2020

. . . . . . Before we can SOLVE, we have to DISSOLVE.  

Join us for Dissolve Music @ MIT:  Spatial Sound Festival, Feb. 19-21, 2020, a series of workshop performances & discussions.  We aim to dissolve boundaries between performers & audience, between music & sound art, and between academic disciplines.  Explore alternative approaches to listening, dialogue and mix.  This “spatial sound festival” is a collaboration between the MIT Spatial Sound Lab and Non-Event, which is a Boston-based concert series for experimental, abstract, improvised and new music. Our last major event was Dissolve Music 2018.

Free, open to the public, all ages. 

Each day we will present a series of workshop-style performances and informal discussions to explore some of the ways sound can transform social worlds.
