This is part of the EU-funded research project LoMus – Local Sound for a New Musicality that explores the musicality of non-musicians through sounding objects and contemporary music.
The participants will be interviewed to investigate their views on music and musicality.
LoMus is a research project that aims to develop a method for broadening the musical participation of amateurs and non-trained individuals through a special combination of sounding objects and contemporary music techniques. LoMus challenges established concepts and practices around music and musicality, promotes social innovation by initiating new ways of relating with others and the environment through sound, and extends music-making’s personal and social benefits to everybody
