50% PhD SEMINAR: Wednesday, 26 November 2025, at 10:00
PhD supervisors: Michael Edward Edgerton, Seth Josel
Opponent: Kent Olofsson
Location: Inter Arts Center, Bergsgatan 29, Malmö, 4th floor (Red Room)
This seminar presents the latest developments of the doctoral project Redefining Contemporary Guitar Performance Practice through Spherical Amplification via S.T.OOGE, tracing a path from an etymological re-reading of stereophony as “solid sound” and the ethical-aesthetic considerations that shape an epistemology of listening, to the technical realization of these ideas in the hardware and software development of S.T.OOGE. The presentation highlights new custom-made ambisonic encoding plug-ins for live frequency-dependent spatialization and explores the concept of the instrument as a dynamically controlled system. It will be further shown how these technical and conceptual strategies inform concert practice and studio production, illustrated by the recording project Sans dire, scheduled for release on Brilliant Classics in 2026, which was partly performed in the concert preceding this seminar.
