Music Space Architecture is an international, multidisciplinary project dedicated to identifying and investigating different areas of interaction between music and architecture, sound and space. MSA curates a festival, commissioned projects and events, a conference, and an online platform that publishes text and other materials intended to deepen the study of each of the edition’s focal subjects.
Music Space Architecture was founded in 2018 by the music curator Sasha Elina and the architectural photographer Yuri Palmin. The project’s principal aim is to nurture a balance between research practices, and, more broadly, events in the fields of contemporary art. Music Space Architecture explores the fundamental domains of time and space in musical and architectural discourses, architectural acoustics, the dependence on (or avoidance of) numeric systems, and the sensory experiences of the listener when entering into an immediate dialogue with space and sound. Ultimately, MSA presents, and attempts to synthesize, the inaudibilities of architecture with the invisibilities of music.
