"Expanded Radio" by Robin Koek and "The Urban Score" by Marieke van de Ven.
"Expanded Radio" by Robin Koek. Expanded Radio (Robin Koek) - approaching the concept of 'radio' from the perspective of composition and the practice of sound art. The lecture deals with the possibilities radio allows for composers to work with non-lineair concepts of time, make instant global musical, connections through transmission and re-define concepts of the public space within their creations. It elaborates on how radiophonic concepts like interference, wavelength and tuning were translated to the domain of musicians within the work.
"The Urban Score," by Marieke van de Ven. The Urban Score (Marieke van de Ven) - a lecture about the auditory characteristics of the city and the artistic values of urban sound in the context of electro-acoustic music. The lecture explains how sounds of the city are able to source and guide the process of composition and their conceptual values marking a context for the piece.

Robin Koek (Netherlands, 1987) is active as a composer, musician and designer of artistic systems. Koek studied Sound Design and Composition at the Utrecht School of the Arts.
Over the last years he established a repertoire of various multidisciplinary collaborations. With a main focus on sound art and interactive systems he was involved in projects that range from installation art to interactive dancepieces.
His works explore states wherein acoustic, digital and analog signals intertwine and form in to one body of sound. Currently his focus is on compositions and sculptures that explore the spatial potential of sound.
Marieke van de Ven (Netherlands, 1985) studied Composition and Sound Design at the Utrecht School of the Arts. Inspired by concrete sounds, instruments and field recordings she explores the intersection between acoustic and electronic sound. Within the stratification of different musical elements she investigates the narrative quality of her music. Her work was performed at FAQ Festival, Gaudeamus Muziekweek and broadcasted on the Concertzender. Over the last years she established a repertoire of various multidisciplinary collaborations with choreographers, dancers and theatremakers. Recently she composed the music for 'Corporalis' by Retina Dance Company in Antwerp.
