Mats Gustafsson talks about the underlying semantics of composing music, how he uses symbolic meaning as an instigator and inspiration to the creative process and how he investigates/researches the connection between the improvised and the composed music, making the two meet in a collective process in an ensemble. He also showed examples of his music and how he works with subtle activism and being part of the “society of the spectacle,” both in direction to the ensemble he works with, the audience, the score and to the community. 

This talk was part of the training school, "Sharing Care" funded by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Its Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers and boost their research, career and innovation.
