Researchers from the Open University and King’s College will host a public event exploring the value of electronic music.

Valuing Electronic Music, an ongoing study of electronic music, will take over the Lexington in Angel, Islington on 6 June with a free event featuring talks, live performances and an interactive panel discussion.

Electronic producers including Slackk, Winterlight, and Glitch Lich will all perform while the panels will include the project team Daniel Allington, Anna Jordanous, and Byron Dueck.

According to the project’s website, the initiative has been set up to ‘combine social network analysis of online data with ethnographic interviewing and observation to understand how music-makers produce value for their own and one another’s work, especially in genres without mainstream recognition’.
