Douglas Kahn
Perth, Western Australia, 30–31 October 2009
Keynote Speaker: Douglas Kahn
The THNMF Conference, held as an adjunct to The 9th Totally Huge New Music Festival, is a forum for artists from diverse areas of practice, along with critics, commentators and academics, to discuss the ideas which underline contemporary new music and sound art—the histories, methods, theories, approaches, techniques and dreams which make up the modern world of music and sound arts.
Douglas Kahn
Douglas Kahn writes on sound and electromagnetism in the arts from the late-19th Century to the present, with an emphasis on the avant-garde and experimentalism in their relation to science and technology.
