Composer Pétur Eggertsson presents and discuses his work in the context of “Musicking” - Music as a verb rather than a noun. We will explore this term and think of how we can compose musical conditions, actions and other frameworks, seeking musical potential in everyday publications and objects, and studying the role of music as a social activity - and its current constraints.
