artists, and researchers to explore the intersections of sound, music,

Musically Entangled
When: Monday 17 November, 5.30–7pm
Where: The Band Room, New Adelphi Building, M5 4BR
Who: Professor Eric Clarke (University of Oxford) and Dr Maria 
Perevedentseva (University of Salford)
Description: It’s an often-stated truism that there are no human 
cultures that don’t have music, and many people devote large proportions 
of their lives to listening to music, making music, seeking out music, 
suffering from music – and sometimes avoiding music. People, it seems, 
are musically entangled. But what does it mean to be musically 
entangled, what are those entanglements like, and what are the costs and 
benefits? Eric Clarke and Maria Perevedentseva offer some prespectives 
on these questions based on their recent research, and encourage the 
audience to become entangled with them.

Sound and Serious Gaming
When: Monday 1 December, 5.30–7pm
Where: Room 2.01, SEE Building, M5 4QJ
Who: Dr Juan Hiriart (University of Salford), Dr Adam Hart (University
