Polymath Club was a research and creation group that investigated the relationship between philosophy and music. The group was composed of philosophers, musicians, activists and academics young and old interested in broaching the gap between philosophical inquiry and musical composition. Born out of a seeming disparity between the main approaches of the two traditions (conceptuality and aesthetic experience), Polymath brought philosophers and musicians together into a critical and creative space. As part of National Sawdust's Summer Labs, FSN was commissioned to present a performance and created a zine featuring writings from the group's members.
