☘ About the project: DomDom Residency for Experimental Music ‘Shape of Music’ is the first residency program and catalyzing laboratory for different forms of ‘new music’. Initiated and organized by DomDom, the program aims at nurturing and developing new ‘authors’ and contributing new works to the landscape of experimental and contemporary music in Vietnam. The first edition of the program, Connecting Heritage, with sponsor and support from British Council’s FAMLAB Fund, grants 4-5 emerging (group of) artists to engage deeply with traditional disciplines of Vietnamese performing art and music. During the 6-month residency, the chosen artists will receive professional mentoring from five senior artists whose approach to Vietnamese heritage is diverse, to ideate, create and implement their new works. These new productions are to be presented in a final showcase at the end of the residency. Excellent works from these new productions are likely to be included to participate in Hanoi New Music Festival 2021.
