On 19th June I presented a paper at the Electronic Music Studies Network Conference about the AHRC collaborative project with Milapfest. Alok Nayak (director of development) joined me in Lisbon at Culturegest to deliver the research developments.

The paper focused on issues of sound collection from Indian musical instruments and how these materials are used creatively in compositional work. The paper presented several research questions: what are the optimum conditions for a successful recording session? How prescriptive should one be as a composer when dealing with a performer, and how does one navigate the same situation cross-culturally with foreign instruments where unfamiliar performance traditions and language barries exist?
