Inter/Connexions

Music &….

Music is profound, and poignant. It resonates within us and reverberates across all areas of our living, our thinking and our feeling. It inspires and uplifts, it comforts and consoles, it provokes and challenges, it fills us with joy and it brings us to tears. Music is a defining feature of what it is to be human. It changes lives. It is part of worship, part of reflection, part of everyday life. It is condemned, controlled and consumed in equal measure.
Music And…. is of an exciting new series of inclusive interdisciplinary projects focusing on the many and various roles of music within human life and mapping the unique and on-going relationship between creativity, inspiration and all areas of human activity.
The project will include conferences, events, symposia, workshops, performances covering areas as diverse as Music And….death, politics, the sciences, mental health, horticulture etc. It will enable global collaborations and ventures between people originating from academia, the music industry, composers, bands. And it will provide opportunities to network, cooperate and build partnerships on new projects and enterprises.

The Diaries of a Melomaniac

Jamie Robertson

Measuring my life with music has helped me recall experiences both good and bad but more importantly, it has enabled a healing process that I hadn’t realised I needed until I began writing my story.
