Event Description

Music is often regarded as a temporal artform, but what does that truly entail? According to Mariusz Kozak, musical time emerges from interactions between sonic events and the embodied responses of participants—performers and listeners alike. More specifically, musical time is enacted when we coordinate our movements, ranging from surreptitious tapping and head-nodding all the way up to full-blown choreographies and vigorous headbanging, with what we perceive to be opportunities for action. We improvise time with and through our bodies when we use our knowledge of what movement feels like to turn explicit events (the present) into implicit ones (the past), and implicit events (the future) into explicit ones (the present).
