DESCRIPTION:David Bowie’s contribution to culture is undeniable\; far-re
 aching\, multifaceted\, intersecting many fields\, social scenes and artis
 tic disciplines. If one was to take a broad view of this contribution\, Pl
 anet Bowie can be viewed as the location for rich expressive languages of 
 fashions\, personas\, stolen ideas\, queerness\, outsider perspectives\, m
 ythologies and a cast of recurring characters and themes\, sounds and musi
 cal motifs. This presentation will turn attention to the way his career ha
 s been narrated across constant creative transformations that flow paralle
 l against a consistent musical voice and through the recasting of his star
  image and performative self across the media and art platforms that he is
  found in. \n\n*Leah Kardos* is a musician and pop culture enthusiast acti
 ve in contemporary classical\, experimental\, media and commercial music c
 ircles. As a writer\, her fascinations include the arts of record producti
 on\, digital creativities and the semiotics of sound in popular music. A s
 igned artist with Bigo & Twigetti\, her creative work focuses on the commu
 nicative power of timbre\, memory and pattern recognition\, and the beauty
  of spaces\, having recently worked with performers and ensembles such as 
 Ben Dawson\, Laura Wolk-Lewanowicz\, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britai
 n\, and Australian chamber orchestra Ruthless Jabiru. Originally from Bris
 bane\, Australia\, she currently lectures in music at Kingston University\
 , London.
