Chamber Music

To get their hands on music, to shape it themselves, change it, to experiment with it, to make their own music.

Thus, the Latvian Concert Directorate in cooperation with the Council of Chamber Music and independent music institutions and individual musicians implements a special purpose programme Chamber music, aimed at presenting an opportunity for the low income population to attend concerts in the vicinity of their place of residence for a reduced price.

And since Richard put me on this whole thing with music I'm supposed to actually be doing a project with Tod Machover with the MIT Media Lab it relates a lot to music.

It branches on more the experimental side.

The clients have asked us to produce a great chamber music hall.

What are all the possible ways that we can think of to get everybody in the middle of a musical experience, not just listening, but making music?

We know, by experience, that we can be what we call a little paradise, and yet, be completely unhappy within.

Schools are composed of modern research centres, physics, chemistry, biology and computer laboratories, three gymnasiums and a big recreation area.

And the experience is I want to be in the room and hear the musicians.

So, with the MIT Media Lab, for quite a while now, we've been engaged in a field called active music.

In London, they were hung in the hall used for the MTV European Music Awards.

So, one of the growing fields that we're working on at the Media Lab right now is music, mind and health.

Those who don't care for music can go into the smoking room.

This is Carnegie Hall.

And then the students would come into our sound studios, they would make their own rap songs with their own beats.

Guitar Hero came out of our lab, and my two teenage daughters and most of the students at the MIT Media Lab are proof that if you make the right kind of interface, people are really interested in being in the middle of a piece of music, and playing it over and over and over again.

It works the same internally with the president or the musical director, whose Casa da Musica portraits wind up on their business cards.

The halls got bigger. Carnegie Hall's fair sized.

Heavy, pop or very soft music?

And when we make the Brain Opera, we invite the public to come in, to try these instruments and then collaborate with us to help make each performance of the Brain Opera.

I'm going to go over some science experiments and try to cover three musical experiments.

A project has been developed Music Classes for Children With Health Disorders and Special Needs, aiming at stimulating the development of music therapy in Latvia.

But here, when you think about experiences, think about Thomas Dolby and his group, playing music.

I think pop music, mainly, it's written today, to some extent, is written for these kind of players, for this kind of personal experience where you can hear extreme detail, but the dynamic doesn't change that much.

Hey.

The target population consists of composers and performers of traditional music, as well as groups interpreting music with traditional instruments, and anyone upholding and or recovering the sonority and structure of traditional music.

I've played the Disney Hall here and Carnegie Hall and places like that.

That's Hugo.

No music. No music.

Music, music!

You're going to make Carnegie Hall your door.

Well notation not only passed the music on, notating and encoding the music changed its priorities entirely, because it enabled the musicians to imagine music on a much vaster scale.

It's just like music it really is just like music.

Specific activities of the Laboratory include the following

Uh oh.

Music, on a cargo ship?

Financial support is given to professional orchestras, choirs, concerts, concert halls, festivals, school concerts, music schools.

As his career grew, David Byrne went from playing CBGB to Carnegie Hall. He asks Does the venue make the music? From outdoor drumming to Wagnerian operas to arena rock, he explores how context has pushed musical innovation.
