This talk will explore how music not only undergoes different forms of translation but how it can be a model for and an instrument of translation, aesthetically, socially and emotionally. It will discuss how musical texts have pioneered new forms of translation and have been at the forefront of accessibility developments. It will also explore the power of agency of music and its complex relationships with material culture and its quantifiable features. While, in a society which aims to measure everything, music is becoming increasingly data-centric, it also offers unparalleled ways of encountering other beings and traditions.
