Hi/r/stories
Hi/r/stories is about directly engaging with history. If ePhemera and REPlayboth explore alternatives to specific narratives in “classical” music, Hi/r/storiesis centered around narrative itself. What stories get told in the canonical history? How can music articulate an alternative hi/r/story? And in our digital culture of sharing and re-sharing and adding commentary, how has the process of writing, re-writing, and understanding history changed?
