Laboratory José Luís Ferreira Mixed Music
Coordinator: Carlos Caires
Mixed music is a musical genre that has been established since the second half of the 20th century. It can be defined as the combination of the acoustic medium with the electroacoustic medium, more specifically: the combination in performance of one or more acoustic instruments with sounds created, processed or reproduced electronically. The practice of this laboratory is designed to develop skills in the performance of mixed music (repertoire or composed by composition students specifically for the group), improvisation and experimentation.
The José Luís Ferreira Mixed Music Laboratory, formed in 2014, has already had several activities since its creation, including concerts and informal auditions at ESML, concerts at the Música Viva festival, an artistic residency at O'culto da Ajuda, participation in ESML's Composition Week, participation in concerts at the "Old is New" International Conference - organised by CESEM, the Centre for the Study of Sociology and Musical Aesthetics in partnership with ESML.
The Mixed Music Laboratory was created by professors José Luís Ferreira and Carlos Caires and is currently directed by Jaime Reis and Carlos Caires.
