Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky, visited Google in 2008 to discuss his book Sound Unbound, his collection and thoughts on how music, art, and literature have blurred the lines between what an artist can do and what a composer can create. In Sound Unbound, Miller asked artists to describe their work and compositional strategies in their own words. These were reports from the front lines on the role of sound and digital media in an information-based society. From August of 2008. Visit http://g.co/TalksAtGoogle/SoundUnbound to watch the video.

Sarah Willis explores the Barbican Centre´s Sound Unbound Festival and finds exciting music in every corner of the performing arts centre including the London Symphony Orchestra and Sarah´s own Pop-Up Horns event.

En stad där den klassiska musiken har fått starkt stöd av samhället. Här delas även ett av världens mest prestigefyllda konstmusikpris ut, Léonie Sonnings Musikpris, på 100.000 Euro år 2017. Birgitta Tollan gör självsvåldiga nedslag i musiklivet i sex städer: Reykjavik, New York, Oslo, Helsingfors, Berlin och Köpenhamn. Har vardera stad en speciell musiksjäl? Vi möter musiker, tonsättare, operachefer, operasångerskor, ensembler, programläggare, kritiker, festivaldirektörer och musikvetare. Det är dags för Köpenhamn! Prestigebyggena, det nya operahuset och Danmarks Radios nya konserthuset, i Köpenhamn har skrivit in skeppsredare och kulturministrar i musikhistorien. Trots gigantiska överdrag av budgeterna. Danmarks Radio tvingades avskeda en massa medarbetare och kanalen P2 hotades. Men finns det pengar över till själva musiken? - Operahuset använder stora delar av sin budget till att driva det gigantiska huset. Vi skulle hellre vara utan prestigehusen om vi fick möjlighet att förverkliga våra konstnärliga ambitioner och ha ett mer varierat utbud, säger violinisten Alexander Øllgaard, som spelar i operaorkestern Det Kongelige Kapel, i Kroger Kvartetten och i Trio Aristos. - De fria medlen har blivit färre. Smala genrer har fått det sämre. Jag undrar hur många symfoniorkestrar man kan hålla igång på bekostnad av mindre experimenterande grupper som arbetar oavhängigt, säger saxofonisten och komponisten Lotte Anker, en av de främsta inom dansk experimenterande nutida musik och jazz. - Det saknas kvinnliga lärare och kvinnliga instrumentalister i jazzutbildningen vid det Rytmiska Konservatoriet, så vi har startat danska IMPRA, ett nätverk och en föreningen för kvinnliga improvisationsmusiker efter svensk förebild. Svenska flöjtisten Kristina Ersson utbildade sig på Musikkonservatoriet i Köpenhamn och har under fyra år varit anställd som soloflöjtist i Sjællands Symfoniorkester som på somrarna kallas Tivolis Symfoniorkester. - Den stora klassiska publiken i Köpenhamn är konservativ och över 40 år. Därför är det svårt att sälja biljetter till alltför okända, moderna program. Vi vill nå en yngre publik och vi vill utbilda publiken. Därför erbjuder vi extrapriser för serier där speciella s k Farliga konserter ingår. Vi använder även hemsidan, udda konserttider och olika jippon för att locka annorlunda publik, säger Kristina Ersson. Nikolaj Koppel är chef för all musikverksamhet vid Tivoli i Köpenhamn, som drivs kommersiellt. Han kommer ur den välkända musiksläkten Koppel som startade med pianisten och tonsättaren Herman D Koppel. Nikolaj Koppel var tidigare konsertpianist och satsar återigen på en kammarmusikserie Pianoforte, där världskända klassiska pianister framträder, t ex Gabriela Montero, Murray Perahia, Lang Lang, Emanuel Ax, Marc-André Hamelin och Marta Argerich m fl. - Det är inte vår största uppgift att promovera nutida musik, säger Nikolaj Koppel. Men vi satsar mycket på att få ut musiken på udda ställen, t ex hörde 25 000 människor på Roskildefestivalen förra året musik av Sjostakovitj och Stravinskij. Vi vill nå dem som är mellan 15 och 26 år, alltså människor som ännu inte stiftat familj, säger Nikolaj Koppel. Dessutom medverkar Lotte Bichell, kulturjournalist på Berlingske Tidende.
