Norient -- Network for Local and Global Sounds and Media Culture - focuses on experimental and urban music and music scenes all over the world. As an international platform it aims to understand and show the many and often contradictory faces of cultural globalization and localization through articles about music, urbanism and politics, «authenticity», «modernity», «place» and «transnational spaces», written by musicians, scholars and music journalists from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and the US. norient also produces and co-produces larger and smaller projects and events.
