The project focuses on the development of innovative approaches to music and sound creation in the context of social distancing.  A central concern is to facilitate a meaningful dialogue between two groups: aligning the interests of Minho students with the needs and abilities of the CERCI group. Throughout the project the artists will work with the groups to construct and explore relationships between procedural action, algorithmic process, musical structure, and group-based performance.  

Drawing from a range of disciplines (e.g graphic design, architecture, sculpture, time-based and digital media etc), graphic and procedural systems will be devised in order to consider concepts such as time, space, shape, texture, and their interrelation. These systems aim to enable the CERCI group to engage in group-based music making in a new way. In alternating between modes of performance, making, analysis and discussion, both groups give critical feedback into the process - to suggest and modify strategies that are meaningful to them. From the creative process of Inter-Symmetry, a collaborative installation will be conceived to be showcased at gnration gallery.
