BACKGROUND:

Sonic Murals will include electronic and acoustic music, sound art and new media as well as audiovisual, performance and emerging digital art pieces from UNT students and faculty in the College of Music and College of Visual Arts and Design and local Denton artists.

The pieces have been curated into five different hour-long concerts that can be seen by passersby on the UNT campus or online.

“We wanted to bring together our creative community during this challenging time and give people an opportunity to share their creative work during the pandemic,” said Panayiotis Kokoras, director of UNT’s Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia and associate professor in the College of Music’s Division of Composition Studies.

Kokoras and a team of composition graduate students assembled the concerts and will work behind the scenes to stream them this weekend.
