During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In this talk I will explore the possible social structures underlying different modes of performance: from improvisational to structured. Following a review of several musical genres, I will present a theoretical model based on the tight-loose paradigm and expand on the intricate social affordances that are embedded in different forms of musical performances.
