Broadcast
Broadcast is an online interview series by the Composers Society of Singapore (CSS), featuring conversations with Singapore’s composers on music and composition.
Music is a universal language with a broad degree of subjectivity, so much so that composers, when cast under the spotlight, sometimes don’t have all the answers to their own works. Broadcast takes “Broad” and puts the “Cast” in the composer. Featuring hour-long videos, we ask composers and music experts the tough questions, delving into the philosophical, esoteric, and very often the critical of music, all in the pursuit of new sounds, and self-discovery.
Through these interviews we aim to (1) invite composers to share their working processes, extra-musical interests and inspirations, perspectives on music and composition, and life as a composer, (2) enable our audience to understand and appreciate Singapore’s local composing scene on a deeper level, and (3) develop a digital archive of local composers’ works.
