Music. Maps. I think we’ll all
agree they are two very different things. You wouldn’t use music to help you
find your way around the Scottish Highlands, as much as you wouldn’t listen to
a map to help you calm down after a difficult day. There can’t be any possible
links between them, right? Well think again, because as part of De Montfort
University’s Cultural Exchanges, lecturer Ross Purves will explore the links
between the art of cartography, and the art of music.
As a musician myself, I was
extremely excited to see this talk taking place. I’ve sometimes struggled to
find inspiration for my music. ‘Musician’s block’ as I like to call it is just
the same as your average writer’s block; it can strike at any time, leaving a
musician stranded without inspiration or motivation. When it attacks, I need
every piece of inspiration I can muster, and this talk could prove to be yet
another tool to help me with this.
So don’t let yourself fall victim
to musician’s block, book for this free talk now, and turn up to Clephan Building at 5pm on Wednesday, 1st March. This event promises to be fun, interesting,
and informative for all.
