The Asian Music Unit and the Contemporary Music Research Unit in collaboration with SEA Arts Festival host a panel on “Identity, Multiculturalism, and the Politics of Music Making”, featuring discussion of the work of the Six Tones.
The Six Tones is a platform for an encounter between traditional and experimental cultures in Asia and the west. Their main point of departure has been to create a foundation for a meeting between two distinct musical cultures on equal terms. This practice implies the questioning of what is "centre” and what is "periphery”: is the Western art music the norm (centre) and the traditional Vietnamese music an exotic "other”? Responding to their work Inside/Outside, the artists Nguyen Thanh Thuy, Ngô Trà My, and Stefan Östersjö are met by Barley Norton and Roger Redgate of Goldsmiths University to explore notions of traditional Vietnamese culture versus a globalized, multi-cultural society and the politics of music making.
