Active musician and creator Nagisa Moritoki Škof, PhD, and musicologist Klara Hrvatin, PhD, talked about how animals and the Japanese world of music are connected. In particular, they focused on the following topics:
– animals as “material” for the design of instruments or parts of instruments,
– “symbolism” of animals in the construction and design of instruments,
– “portrayals” of Japanese animals in music, in which they will try to find out what instruments and techniques musicians use to conjure up the world of animals.
