Discourse and Poetics (30 Aug.)

Three composers talk about their artistic vision. With Nils Henrik Asheim, Cecilie Ore and Marcus Paus.

Three successful, but very different composers talk about how their views on art influence the working process and the finished result.

Literature and Music (27 Sept.)

Why do authors do music and composers do literature? With Cornelius Jakhelln, Eivind Buene and Jon Øystein Flink.

Welcome to a conversation about the relationship between literature and music where music-educated author Jon Øystein Flink moderates a conversation between author/metal artist Cornelius Jakhelln and contemporary composer/author Eivind Buene.

Amendments to the Copyright Act (25 Oct.)

With Marte Thorsby from IFPI and Cato Strøm from TONO.

Given the digital development and the extent of copyright infringements on the internet, the government has submitted a bill with measures to strengthen enforcement capabilities and clarify current law in the area.

The bill was presented before the summer, with a consultation deadline of September 30, 2011. What do the proposed changes mean for rights holders? What kind of resistance will the proposals encounter among consumers and the telecom industry? Thorsby and Strøm provide information about the changes and answer questions.

Music career, experience and strategy (TBA) (Nov.)

One of the country's greatest and most experienced artists will be interviewed about wise and unwise choices, about business models and strategic thinking.

Closed forum, only open to NKF and NOPA members.
