SCIENCE (BAR) TALKS SENDING SOUNDS: AN AFRICAN APPROACH TO MUSIC ANALYSIS

Details

Wednesday, Oct 21, 2026, 19:45 - 21:30

Oedipus Craft Space, Schaafstraat 21, Amsterdam, Nederland

In this edition of Science Bar Talks at Oedipus Craft Space, we will be doing some radical music analysis.
Josephine Zwaan joins us to break down African electronic music analysis: drum logic, polyrhythmic friction, and musical circularity—examining how cyclical time and syncopation redefine contemporary electronic composition.
Femke Dekker will unpack the core ideas of active listening as an art form and a medium for creation. What it means to practice hearing as an intentional and generative methodology.

Join us for cold beers, great beats, and deep listening.
