Orpheus Sounds

music, society, culture · EN-GB

Orpheus Sounds is a podcast from Orpheus Instituut in Gent, a research institution where we explore the making and understanding of music. We bring musicians, researchers, instruments, books, and above all, curiosity to the conversation. We offer exploratory conversations with our researchers, guests, and associates of Orpheus Instituut, discovering together what is so exciting about their work with music and sound. We offer candid acoustic "snapshots" of our circle of colleagues and friends, discussing the music, the practices and the ideas which shape our views of the world. Everyone here has their own approach, and so we offer an enormous range of ideas and experiences. If it is musical or related to sound, someone here is probably enthusiastically gaining knowledge with, through, and from it! This is artistic research in music: we offer unique perspectives on the questions (and sometimes even the answers) behind the music of the past, the present, and the future.
