Computer Science meets Music at a Historical Site

 

The official conference dinner of ISSEP will take place at Schloss Mageregg. As a special highlight of the conference, Prof. Erich Neuwirth from the University of Vienna will make us listen to some musical mysteries. Some background of his work can be seen from his abstract:

 

Musical Paradoxes brought to Life with Informatics

by Erich Neuwirth

                              Eschers stairway is a well known visual paradox. Seemingly it constantly ascends but nevertheless it returns to its point of departure.

                              There exist similar musical phenomena: scales that constantly ascend, but find their end where they began. There are also rhythms that accelerate but still have their end where they originated.

                              We will listen to several of these phenomena and see which informatical support, conceptual as well as technical, is needed to produce such effects. We will also hear and see that such effects cannot be produced without computers. This will get us an idea about the substantial contributions computers yield for new forms of music.

                              Said effects will not only be presented in pre-recorded form. Erich Neuwirth will play instruments that implement such effects live during his lecture.

 Schloss Mageregg
The castle was built for Wolfgang III.
Mager von Fuchsstatt and his wife Elisabeth Paradeiser von Neuhaus. The original construction, a water-castle, was completed 1590. A substantial reconstruction under Thomas Ritter von Moro (planned by Peter Rudolfi, executed by Domenico Venchiarutti) brought it in its contemporary shape.

 

Since 1967/68 the castle is owned by the Carinthian Hunters Association (Kärntner Jägerschaft). In the park, you have free running wild life.
