Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
A back and forth between Fred and Fernando on the transits and obstructions between mathematics and poetics, and how both help us to think from the other side.

Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
