RATM
RATM (Journal for Music Analysis and Theory) is an international journal, double blind peer reviewed, providing an outstanding platform of opportunity to publish valuable research studies. RATM complies with the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors edited by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).
RATM invites interested research scholars and teachers to submit articles for a special issue in its editorial project. This Special Issue, in collaboration with AEC (Association Européenne des Conservatoires), EPARM (European Platform for Artistic Research in Music) and the online Open Access journal Music Performance Research, aims to provide a platform to present new research and developments in Artistic Research in music.
ARTISTIC RESEARCH
Artistic Research in music touches on a crucial feature of the activities of performers and composers, as well as those involved in education. The so-called Practice Turn has focused attention on the ability of practices to produce knowledge, highlighting the epistemic activity within systems of practice. This is now widely recognised as a valuable contribution to debates on music theory and analysis.
In the context of Western art music, it problematises the notion that a musical work is an ideal object, hidden in the depths of the score, waiting to be reified; rather, it is the never-finished product of continuous interactions of practice and text. That practice is artistically and socially contingent; moreover, it may have a "tacit" dimension that is challenging (and may be impossible) to express in the language of scientific research.
TOPICS
Following these observations, the areas of interest for this special journal issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
How instrumental performance practice shapes, and is shaped by, Artistic Research
Analysis of musical structures in the light of the Practice Turn
Musical composition in/as Artistic Research
Critical use of technology within Artistic Research
Music Education in/as Artistic Research
Artistic Research: an invitation to interdisciplinarity? Curricular and institutional paths towards Artistic Research The score and the performer’s freedom: new perspectives.

Spaces of Dancing. Dancecult issue edited by Ben Assiter
CFP: Spaces of Dancing
Special edition of Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture
Edited by Ben Assiter
http://dj.dancecult.net/ <http://dj.dancecult.net/>
With the dance floor at its core, space is of critical importance to electronic music and dance culture (EMDC). The dance floor is a unique social space, produced through sound, bodies, and an array of sensory and spatial technologies. The spaces of EMDC—including nightclubs and informal, repurposed venues—shape its development and historical imaginary as much as the DJs and producers of the music. EMDC is also closely entangled within wider dynamics of urban (and rural) space, in which conflicts over noise, disorder, and cultural value mediate the production of nightlife scenes.
This special issue of Dancecult seeks to explore the diverse relations between space and EMDC. The moment for this research is opportune: when COVID-19 led to the closure of nightclubs and music venues worldwide, dance music communities were forced to renegotiate their relationships to space. Virtual spaces emerged, using digital technology to replicate and transform the co-present intimacies of the dancefloor. With the events economy on hold, venues had to reinvent themselves, and find ways to communicate their public value for government support schemes. Prior to the pandemic, questions around EMDC and space had already entered public and academic discourse. In the 2000s and 2010s, many urban nightlife scenes experienced a series of spatialised pressures, in part contributing toward the emergence of new modes of night time governance, including the introduction of night mayors. Within dance music communities, conversations took place around access and the production of safe(r) spaces, invigorating debates around dance music’s historical and ongoing significance for marginalised groups, which complicate the fragile utopianism of the dance floor.
Existing research has tended to focus on specific spatial issues in EMDC, but there have been few attempts to combine a diversity of approaches, which conceive of space at multiple, overlapping scales. This issue seeks to encourage dialogue between researchers of EMDC; urban planners and architects; as well as EMDC practitioners and those involved in the organisation of spaces and events.
Suggested themes:
- The social space of the dance floor
- Dance music and spatial technologies (e.g. sound, lighting, drugs)
- Sound systems, acoustics, and space
- Safe(r) spaces
- Space and accessibility
- Nightclub architecture and design
- Histories of spaces and venues
- Spaces and marginalised communities
- Venues during and after COVID-19
- Shifts from physical to digital/virtual space
- Ephemeral and temporary spaces
- Club culture and urban politics
- EMDC and night time governance
- Nightlife spaces, organising, and activism
- Gentrification with and against urban nightlife
- Electronic music scenes and cities
- Nightlife and urban heritage
- EMDC and rural environments

Music and Conflict
IAGMR Conference 2023: Music and Conflict: The Politics and Escapism of Wartime Culture
19-20 May 2023, Department of Music and Media, University of Surrey (Hybrid)
The Institute of Austrian and German Music Research (IAGMR) invites papers, panels, lecture recitals, and compositions for our conference on 'Music and Conflict'.
This conference sets out to explore the various relationships between music and war across historical and contemporary Austrian and German contexts. In particular, the twin functions of music as either a product of war or a form of resistance against it are of interest. Papers might address the ways in which music has and continues to figure as a form of escapism, lamentation, or satire in times and places of war, conflict, violence, and military aggression in Germanophone lands. The historical remit of this conference is completely open to explore the deep involvement of musical composition, performance, criticism, and reception within any period of Austrian and German history.
We are particularly keen to receive papers from any subdiscipline of music, or music-adjacent discipline with a focus on music and war in Austria and/or Germany, including:
* Historical and Cultural Musicology
* Music Analysis
* Performance Studies
* Composition
* Archival Studies
* Music Psychology
* Music Philosophy and Aesthetics
* German/Austrian Historical/Cultural Studies
* Screen (Music) Studies
* Disability Studies
Presentations: 20-minute Papers, 60-minute Panels, 45-minute Lecture-Recitals, 10-minute Compositions (plus 10-min presentations).
Submissions should include the following: 250-word abstract, indication of equipment required, 50-word biography, and statement of attendance (in-person/remote).
Deadline for submissions: Friday 17 March 2023, 5pm by email to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.<mai
The Committee will notify authors of its decision by 6 April 2023.
This conference will feature a lecture-recital by the 2022-23 Artist in Residence at the Department of Music and Media, pianist and researcher Anna Scott (Royal Conservatory of The Hague and University of Leiden). We encourage everyone to attend this conference in person, but there will be a hybrid option for those who are unable to travel.
The University of Surrey is fully committed to the principles of equality and diversity enshrined in the Race Equality Charter, the Athena SWAN Charter, the Disability Confident scheme, and through its support of LGBTQ+ communities.

Appel à communications – Colloque international Musique et Maladie Paris, IRCAM, 19-20 octobre 2023
Appel à communications – Colloque international
Musique et Maladie
Paris, IRCAM, 19-20 octobre 2023
Organisation : Vincent Barras (Lausanne, Institut des humanités en médecine)
Laurent Feneyrou (Paris, CNRS – STMS)
Céline Frigau Manning (Lyon, Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3 – IHRIM)
Ce colloque international (français/anglais) se propose de nouer histoire de la médecine
et histoire de la musique dans le monde occidental, et d’interroger les conditions et les méthodes
de leur dialogue à l’âge moderne, du XVIIIe siècle à la fin du XXe siècle. Il ne porte pas
principalement sur la santé, le soin et les vertus thérapeutiques de la musique, mais sur l’étude
des maladies.
Trois types d’approches sont envisagés, qui se baseront sur des périodiques et des traités
de médecine, générale et spécialisée, sur l’histoire de la médecine, sur l’histoire des maladies,
sur l’histoire des médecins, qu’ils soient illustres, ceux de Chopin, ou non, ceux de Schumann,
par exemple, sur la littérature médicale consacrée aux musiciens, sur leurs biographies, sur leurs
archives, sur leurs correspondances et sur leurs écrits d’orientation thérapeutique ou
scientifique (les lettres de Leopold Mozart sont éloquentes à ce sujet, qui exposent les
symptômes de son fils et, avec une certaine connaissance, ses traitements médicamenteux), sur
l’iconographie qui leur est relative, sur les témoignages de leurs contemporains ou de
spectateurs centrés sur une physiologie des effets, mais aussi, et surtout, sur les œuvres
musicales :
1. Des études de cas ou des pathographies d’artistes, compositeurs et interprètes, dans le but
de décrire les conséquences de la maladie sur la biographie, la pratique, voire l’esthétique du
musicien. La figure du compositeur ou de l’interprète devient en effet décisive avec
l’affirmation du sujet moderne. Dans un saisissant renversement, ce compositeur ou cet
interprète, autrefois sorte d’Orphée, exprime, expose son pathos, et devient malade, de plus en
plus gravement : Bach, Haendel, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin,
Schumann, Puccini, Ravel, Bartók, par exemple, permettent d’aborder la chirurgie de l’œil, des
tableaux cliniques plus ou moins complexes, des troubles psychiatriques, mais aussi l’histoire
de l’hygiène, de l’hôpital ou de la sexualité, la pharmacologie, la pratique de l’autopsie... Il ne
s’agit plus seulement d’établir un diagnostic, mais d’écrire une pathographie. Un tel genre
implique un renouveau de la biographie et un régime singulier de discursivité qu’il conviendra
d’interroger précisément. En ce sens, les communications se garderont bien de produire une
énième tentative d’interprétation médicale qui prétendrait expliquer la créativité des musiciens
ou plus largement le phénomène artistique au prisme des savoirs médicaux positifs du moment.
Nous viserons, au contraire, à étudier les pathographies existantes ou le genre même dont elles
relèvent en questionnant la tentation de soustraire le regard médical à sa détermination
historique, ainsi que les modalités de prise en considération, du point de vue musical comme
musicologique, du corps naturel de l’artiste.
2. Des études par maladies – syphilis, tuberculose, cancer, Sida..., mais aussi, dans le champ
psychiatrique, schizophrénie et psychose maniaco-dépressive ou trouble bipolaire, auxquels
s’ajoutent les pathologies construites comme spécifiquement musicales, comme les amusies,
hypermusies, obsessions, « vers auditifs » ou « vers cérébraux ». Il conviendra d’étudier
l’histoire de ces maladies et leurs descriptions médicales, à travers traités et autres documents
historiques, mais aussi d’examiner la manière dont ces maladies sont rapportées à des
musiciens, à leurs œuvres ou à leurs interprétations, à leurs discours, ainsi qu’à des
représentations musicales, notamment dans le domaine, également littéraire et scénique, de
l’opéra. Comment, par exemple, Giuseppe Verdi ou, récemment, Péter Eötvös représentent-ils,
dans le genre lyrique, la tuberculose et le Sida, ou plus exactement celles et ceux atteints par
ces maladies ?
3. Des études par disciplines médicales, en mesurant, par exemple, l’histoire de l’obstétrique
à l’aune de la représentation de la naissance dans le domaine musical ; l’histoire de la pédiatrie
à celle de l’enfance, vivace depuis le XIXe siècle, de Schumann à Stockhausen ; l’histoire de la
pneumologie, particulièrement efficiente dans le cas du romantisme tardif, à celle du souffle ;
ou l’histoire de la cardiologie à celle du rythme, ce dernier point faisant signe vers le thème,
séculaire, de la musique et du pouls, connu depuis Hérophile, que François Nicolas Marquet
revivifie au XVIIIe siècle, avec sa Nouvelle Méthode facile et curieuse, pour connoître le pouls
par les notes de la musique, et dans lequel s’inscrit une composition comme Cardiophonie de
Heinz Holliger.
Nous nous situerons donc au carrefour de l’histoire de la musique, de l’esthétique musicale,
de l’histoire et de la philosophie de la médecine, en croisant les approches monographiques,
comparées et synthétiques. Notre objectif ne sera pas, ce faisant, de nous inscrire dans la
dynamique alimentée par les humanistes et les médecins attachés à « humaniser » les sciences
médicales en prônant l’apport des arts, dont la qualité principale serait de développer la
sensibilité, l’empathie ou la compréhension universelle. À rebours, nous questionnerons de
telles approches utilitaristes et nous demanderons comment le musicien de l’époque moderne
devient un objet d’étude, et plus précisément un patient ou un malade de choix. Pour expliquer
sa constitution ou ses pathologies, multiples sont les modèles interprétatifs convoqués, qui
courent sous la plume de médecins, mais aussi d’autres musiciens et de spectateurs. Le corps
du musicien doit être alors interrogé, pour reprendre les mots d’Alain Corbin, dans « la tension
instaurée entre l’objet de science, de travail, le corps productif, le corps expérimental, et le corps
fantasmé ». Comment comprendre la place accordée à la musique et au musicien dans les écrits
médicaux, qu’ils relèvent de l’anatomie, de la physiologie, de la thérapie ou encore de la
prophylaxie ? Que retenir de l’intérêt des artistes eux-mêmes pour les sciences médicales ?
Nous partons de la conviction que ces questions doivent être prises au sérieux et non pas
demeurer au rang de curiosités historiques ; qu’il y a bien là, aux frontières de l’histoire du
corps et de la médecine, un vaste champ d’étude pour les musicologues, historiens de la
musique ou de la médecine, et philosophes des sciences.
Les propositions, sous la forme d’un abstract de 1 500 signes environ et d’une biographie
de 5 à 10 lignes, sont à soumettre avant le 1er mars 2023, à l’adresse suivante :

Spaces of Dancing. Dancecult issue edited by Ben Assiter
Musique et expérience du temps à la Renaissance - Appel à contributions pour la revue Seizième Siècle (n° 27, 2025)
Appel à contributions pour la revue Seizième Siècle (n° 27, 2025)
Musique et expérience du temps à la Renaissance
Numéro thématique coordonné par Jorge Morales
ARGUMENT
L’étude du temps musical à la Renaissance, époque où les différentes techniques et les
différents styles de composition se diversifient et donnent vie à des répertoires nouveaux ou
renouvelés, s’est surtout concentrée, jusqu’à présent, sur l’écriture du rythme (les structures
temporelles de la musique).
Qu’en est-il du temps comme acteur, à une période où le rapport à celui-ci change, où
l’Antiquité se met à nourrir le présent ? En effet, la relecture des Anciens fait naître une conception
du temps qui s’accommode parfaitement avec l’idée de modernité musicale, alors considérée
comme synonyme d’excellence et de dépassement du passé. La musique a-t-elle contribué à aiguiser
cette conception du temps, à établir un nouveau « régime d’historicité » (François Hartog) fait de
bouleversements (la Réforme) et d’enchevêtrements de temporalités ?
Si le rapport au temps dévoile le rapport au monde, comment l’évolution de la musique a-t-
elle modelé les rythmes du temps et comment la mutation du rapport au temps a-t-elle façonné les
formes musicales ? En effet, l’art musical se déroule dans le temps (durée musicale), agit sur lui
(variations de la perception du temps) et est capable de se situer hors de lui (inactualité de la
performance). Analyser les temporalités structurantes de la musique (le temps perçu et le temps
imaginé) nécessite qu’on s’intéresse aux tournants, seuils, emboîtements, retournements,
basculements, conjonctures, épaisseurs, dissonances, imprévus, continuités ou décalages temporels
que produit l’expérience du temps musical à cette époque.
2
Ce volume sera organisé autour de trois axes thématiques :
Le premier concerne la perception du temps et les formes de temporalité dans l’art musical.
Le renouvellement de la conception du temps a contribué au mouvement historique musical, que
ce soit dans la théorie ou dans la pratique. Il a produit de nouvelles formes d’historicité qui ont eu
des conséquences sur les plans artistique, politique et culturel.
Le deuxième axe porte sur le temps en tant que source d’inspiration sonore et culturelle. La
référence au passé dans le temps présent a donné lieu à des événements avec musique qui ont
renforcé la conscience de soi et contribué à modeler les systèmes de représentation de la société.
Enfin, le troisième axe se concentre sur les expressions musicales liées aux décalages
géographiques et temporels, c’est-à-dire aux écarts culturels que la musique est capable de combler
et de modifier à travers le temps et l’espace. En effet, la transformation de l’expérience du temps
est étroitement liée à l’espace urbain, lieu où cohabitent différentes échelles temporelles.
Ce numéro thématique, à travers un dialogue pluridisciplinaire qui mobilise la musicologie,
l’anthropologie, la sémiologie et l’histoire culturelle, propose une réflexion large qui permettra de
mieux comprendre comment l’expérience du temps a transformé la pensée et l’histoire musicales.
MODALITÉS DE SOUMISSION
Les contributions devront être rédigées en français et ne devront pas dépasser 30 000 signes
(notes et espaces compris). Elles devront comporter également un résumé (environ 500 mots), le

International Conference, "Musical tale and children’s opera in the English-speaking world"
Call for Papers
“Musical tale and children’s opera in the
English-speaking world”
International Conference
University of Caen Normandy, France
22-23 November 2023
Abstract
Some controversy surrounds one of the earliest operatic
productions in the English-speaking world: Henry Purcell’s
opera Dido and Æneas (1689) was supposedly performed by
young pupils at the Boarding School for Girls, in Chelsea, in London. English opera may thus have been
born as a musical genre for young audiences. The following centuries saw a spectacular boom in
opera and operetta in Europe, but mainly adult audiences were targeted and it was not until the 20th
century that producers started currying favor with younger spectators. In the United States, Aaron
Copland composed The Second Hurricane (1937), an opera specifically designed for school
performances, while in the United Kingdom Benjamin Britten created his children’s opera The Little
Sweep (1949), then his opera-oratorio Noye’s Fludde (1957), which brought together amateur
artists and young singers. The twentieth century also saw the emergence of the musical comedy
genre, which soon engaged with young audiences with well-known works such as Mary Poppins
(1964) or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968). Lately, a young English prodigy, Alma Elizabeth Deutscher,
made her debut at the age of seven with her first opera The Sweeper of Dreams (2012), then, at the
age of ten, wrote her second opera Cinderella (2016), outshining the young Mozart who was twelve
when he composed his first singspiel Bastien und Bastienne (1768).
The musical tale, less spectacular than the opera, developed in the 20th century especially with the
appearance of new mass media. This specific genre, akin to both song and opera, requires a unique
approach to word and music interrelations in works destined for young audiences. Like opera, the
musical tale hinges on a plot and tells a story, but its smaller size, enabling easier rote learning, lends
itself better to a greater variety of stage uses, including small theaters or school shows. Its concise
structure makes it possible to hold the audience’s attention more easily. Even if it depends on music
in a less central and more utilitarian way than opera, remaining attached to the literary tradition of
text recitation, the musical tale remains a musical work in its own right and is undoubtedly best known
for its didactic or moral purposes.
This conference’s main argument lies at the crossroads of these two somewhat similar yet different
traditions, offering specialists an opportunity to discuss a vast array of topics in relation to the musical
tale and the opera for children, with a particular focus on the role of young audiences and young
musicians in the field of musical entertainment and musical productions intended for young audiences
in the contemporary world.
First, this conference sets out to explore the generic specificities of compositions for young audiences
(sung tale, opera, musical comedy, etc.). Emphasis will be laid on the themes and the specific
composition techniques used in works for young audiences. How is melody conducted? What type of
texture is used? Are there any specific structural patterns? The question of specific discourse can
be addressed as well, such as, for instance, humor which is part and parcel of the musical tale.
Moreover, the issue of educational, political and moral underpinnings behind these compositions can
also be broached, as in Lisa Lehemann’s moralistic work Four Cautionary Tales and a Morale (1909).
Besides, scenic and participatory practices constitute an interesting field of investigation. Ways of
involving young musicians can be studied: children’s roles or children's choirs, for example. Britten’s
The Little Sweep encourages participative creation: Let’s make an Opera is a call for participation
and shared creativity. Children are a demanding audience who will not stay put for hours on end but
would much sooner engage in the show, which undoubtedly constitutes one of the major
characteristics of children’s productions. Britten’s Noye’s Fludde brings together youngsters,
amateurs and professional musicians as well as the church congregation, thus relying on the
performative tradition that dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries, with The Beggar’s Opera,
often played by children, or Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic operas matinees for children. Numerous
performances rely on recitation and narration to enhance understanding, as in Bang! by John Rutter
(1975), whose plot is based on The Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
There may also be a question of specific traditions linked to the trends in performance practices of
works intended for young audiences. Recent productions of musical tales have drawn on television
and children’s television programs. Likewise, some opera productions, such as the American
televised opera Amahl and the Night Visitors (1951) by Gian Carlo Menotti, have resorted to
television broadcasting as well. But many works are also created as educational shows for school
performances, endowed with didactic and moralizing purposes and intended to be performed in a
specific context and circumstances.
Furthermore, we would like to explore word and music interrelations in works for children. In musical
tales, music may play only a secondary role of illustrative background, or ‘incidental music’, as, for
instance, in Lisa Lehemann’s tale The Selfish Giant: A story by Oscar Wilde (1911), where music
solely lends support to the recitation of the text. What are the main types of text-music relationship?
What are the sources of lyrics and librettos? As far as the textual source is concerned, are the works
based on tales or well-known stories like that of Pinocchio in The Adventures of Pinocchio (2007) by
Jonathan Dove, or perhaps original sources such as A Place To Call Home (1993) by the American
composer Edward Barnes, whose libretto is based on a series of interviews with refugees?
Finally, we will also look at the world of contemporary entertainment in the English-speaking
territories. What are the trends in contemporary productions and how have they evolved over the
last few decades? What are the organizations which encourage such shows for young audiences?
What media are favored for the transmission and popularization of these productions? Also, what

Colloque Massive Attack et la scène trip hop de Bristol - Evry, octobre 2023
Musical interpretation is by definition closely tied to the body of the performer. Traces of past performances, such as those left in writing (annotated parts or written instructions) as well as in sound (piano rolls or early recordings) need to be investigated in consideration of the performer’s body. Consequently, understanding the meaning of historical text and sound information requires retrospective translation processes, i.e. from annotations back into cultural practices, from instructions back into sound, from early recordings back into performance. The conference seeks to investigate innovative methods for the analysis of musical performance and interpretation, with a special focus on “historical embodiment” and “musical reenactment” in the developing field of “early recordings informed performance”.
Call for Papers
We invite papers dealing with issues of instrument-body connections such as mouthpieces, piano actions or bows, annotated performance material, and musical performance in early sound and film documents.
Presentations should be no longer than 30 minutes (followed by 10 minutes discussion). Vocal or instrumental demonstrations are encouraged. Publication of conference contributions is intended.
Please mail submissions to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo. by 17 April 2023. Proposals should be in English (c. 400 words), describing the topic and including the following:
* Abstract (background, research questions, aims, and significance)
* Short CV incl. name, postal and email addresses, and institutional affiliation of proposer
* Type of submission (paper presentation, lecture recital, concert).
Confirmation of accepted papers will be announced by 31 May. All presenters must register for the conference.

The Fryderyk Chopin Institute in Warsaw is pleased to announce International Musicological Conference:
Romanticism in Music: Poland in its European Context planned for 17–19 October 2023 in Warsaw
CFP: the deadline for proposal is 16 April 2023
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
_________________________
When we try, at least in the most general way, to look at the landscape of nineteenth-century music, and thus – romantic music, we notice its heterogeneity, its internal, innate diversity, and its contrasts. ‘Romanticism’ is a term that has been well researched in literature and the visual arts, while in music the meanings it carries, and even the time frames of it, are different and not strictly defined.
The aim of the conference is to raise the subject that allows to highlight the issue of musical romanticism from many points of view and thus to get closer to the essence of this trend in the history of European music. We are not trying to create a definition of romanticism, but to explore selected, particularly important, issues related to that era.
Therefore, t he programme committee encourages submissions within the following areas:
1. – The meaning of romanticism in purely instrumental music
2. – Romantic programme music
3. – The references of opera to instrumental music
4. – Relationship between music and the word; intersection of music and literature – Lied ; vocal lyric
5. – The paths of the idea of romanticism reaching Poland, Fryderyk Chopin’s exposure on ideas of romanticism
All proposed papers should fall within the ambit of frameworks limiting the subject matter:
Temporal: first half of the 19th century
Geographical: Poland, Germany, France, Italy, England

Collecting and Curating: Power, Material Wealth and Cultural Knowledge, Past and Present
Collecting and Curating: Power, Material Wealth and Cultural Knowledge, Past and Present
Symposium, University of York, 3-5 May 2023
Organisers: Stephanie Wynne-Jones (Archaeology), Rachel Cowgill (Music), Chloe Wigston Smith (English), Richard McClary (History of Art)
This symposium will bring together scholars, curators and creative practitioners from across the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and from museums, venues and galleries, to explore practices of curation and collecting as a rich and complex window into past and present systems of value. We invite proposals for 20-minute papers that examine the complexities of curatorial practice and collecting from any time period or geographic region.
Conference themes include the accumulation of material wealth such as precious metals or objects, the pursuit of unique and/or exotic items, as well as the collection of cultural knowledge and expression in the form of scientific, artistic or technological expertise, specimens, instruments, artworks and related resources. How does the collection and curation of items both material and intangible uphold inequalities of wealth and power? How is the accumulation of cultural wealth linked to coercion and colonialism? How do collected objects and things illuminate the ways that peoples and societies value particular forms of production and materiality?
We welcome proposals of 300-400 words for papers that address some of the following themes: cultural property and looting; collecting, value and wealth; collecting knowledge, including books, manuscripts, expertise; objects, extraction and trauma. Deadline for proposals is 31st March 2023; please submit proposals to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo..
The symposium will begin with an evening keynote by Professor Robbie Richardson (Princeton University) on 3rd May, followed by two days of panel discussions structured around several keynote papers.

Congrès biennal de la Société française de musicologie - 2e édition (Angers, 19-21 octobre 2023)
Congrès biennal de la Société française de musicologie : 2e
édition
19-21 octobre 2023, Angers
Appel à communication
Pour donner une impulsion nouvelle au réseau musicologique français, la Société française de
musicologie a inauguré en 2021 un rendez-vous d’échanges privilégiés sous la forme d’un Congrès
international biennal.
La deuxième édition de cette biennale sera accueillie du 19 au 21 octobre 2023 à Angers par la Faculté
des Humanités de l'Université catholique de l'Ouest (UCO) et le Département de philosophie de Nantes
Université. Elle sera aussi l’occasion de proposer une session dans le cadre d'une collaboration avec la
Gesellschaft für Musikforschung initiée à Sarrebruck deux semaines plus tôt lors du symposium annuel
de cette dernière.
Itinérant, le Congrès de la Sfm souhaite valoriser les différents lieux dans lesquels la musicologie est
présente sur le territoire national, et se veut aussi un espace de rencontre ouvert à toutes les spécialités
de la discipline. C’est pourquoi cet appel à communication, qui s’adresse à tout chercheur et toute
chercheuse, y compris aux plus jeunes, comporte deux catégories :
Appel à communication libre (20 minutes)
Appel à contribution aux sessions thématiques en lien avec les axes suivants portés par les
partenaires locaux et en collaboration avec la Sfm :
1. Musique et philosophie aujourd'hui
Outre le fait de valoriser la formation originale "Humanités et musique" proposée par Nantes
Université, cette session a pour ambition d’accueillir des études à l’intersection de ces deux
champs disciplinaires. En ce sens, toutes les approches seront les bienvenues, qu’elles touchent
à l’histoire des idées ou qu’elles soient dans une veine plus systématique et/ou critique. Si une
attention particulière sera accordée aux répertoires et aux questions contemporains, toutes les
époques méritent qu’on s’y attarde de manière à rendre justice au dialogue que la philosophie
et la musique ont poursuivi depuis l’Antiquité. Les propositions touchant aux musiques
modernes et anciennes seront donc les bienvenues.

2. L'interdisciplinarité en SHS : autour de la figure de Jean-Yves Hameline
Prêtre du diocèse de Nantes et directeur de l’Institut de musique sacrée d’Angers avant de
devenir professeur à l’Institut supérieur de liturgie (Université catholique de Paris), Jean-Yves
Hameline (1931-2013) a développé tout au long de sa vie une recherche sur la dimension rituelle
des liturgies, et plus particulièrement celle du culte chrétien abordé dans ses aspects cérémoniels
tels qu’ils se sont manifestés au cours de son histoire, accordant une large place à sa dimension
sonore et musicale. Se situant toujours au point de connexion de plusieurs disciplines des
sciences humaines et sociales, où celles-ci concourent à mettre en évidence cette « ratio propre
à son objet », Jean-Yves Hameline apparaît comme l’un des guides les plus inspirants pour
approcher la complexité du monde à travers l’établissement d’une épistémologie fondée sur une
pluridisciplinarité étroitement en prise avec l’humain.
Afin de nourrir la discussion sur cette thématique, des communications ouvertes à tous sujets
sont sollicitées sur les façons d’aborder l’interdisciplinarité en SHS, sous forme de réflexions,
retours d’expérience ou présentations d’autres cas exemplaires.
3. Musicologie et musicologie didactique : pour une épistémologie des savoirs et savoir-
faire de la musique
Les recherches scientifiques sur l'articulation enseigner/apprendre la musique sont aujourd’hui
nombreuses et couvrent aussi bien l'enseignement général (l’Éducation nationale ou équivalent
dans d'autres pays) que l'enseignement spécialisé de la musique (Ministère de la culture ou
équivalent à l'étranger). Pour autant, peu de travaux ont porté sur l'articulation
enseigner/apprendre la musique à l'université et sur les partenariats entre les institutions
d'enseignement artistique et les établissements d'enseignement supérieur (Universités ;
Conservatoires et CNSMD ; Hautes Écoles de musique ; Hochschulen für Musik ; Royal
Collège of Music ; etc.). Cet axe se propose de poser un premier jalon en sollicitant des
contributions aux questions suivantes :
Comment enseigne-t-on ou apprend-on les pratiques musicales à l'université ?
Quels dispositifs pédagogiques et/ou didactiques innovants sont proposés ?
Comment forme-t-on au métier de professeur de musique ?
Quels apports peuvent avoir les recherches en pédagogie et en didactique de la
musique dans le champ de la musicologie ?
4. Perspectives franco-allemandes / Deutsch-französische Perspektiven
En lien avec la session internationale portant sur les collaborations musicologiques franco-
allemandes, nous sollicitons des propositions de communication sur des travaux récents ou en
cours dans ce domaine.
—Pour ce panel, la langue allemande sera autorisée.—
La Société française de musicologie et la Kommission für Auslandsstudien de la Gesellschaft
für Musikforschung invitent notamment les doctorant.e.s et post-doctorant.e.s dont les
recherches intègrent une dimension franco-allemande à venir présenter une communication liée
à leur projet de recherche. Il s’agit de proposer une plate-forme d’échanges, de diffusion et de
rencontre au croisement des traditions disciplinaires et de favoriser les contacts entre jeunes
musicologues des deux pays.
Die Société française de musicologie und die Kommission für Auslandsstudien der Gesellschaft
für Musikforschung laden Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen mit deutsch-französischem
Schwerpunkt zu einem gemeinsamen Panel für Doktorierende und Postdocs. Der Panel versteht
sich als Plattform für Austäusche und Diskussionen sowie als Begegnungsraum zwischen beiden
Fachtraditionen und möchte Kontakte zwischen jungen Musikwissenschaftler*innen beider
Länder fördern.

Symposium: Positioning Prokofiev in the 21st Century and Beyond - June 15-16, 2023
Sergei Prokofiev’s life and music continue to inspire and intrigue the world seventy years after his death. Indeed, it can be argued that Prokofiev’s role in music scholarship and performance has reached its golden age.
The “Positioning Prokofiev in the 21st Century and Beyond” symposium seeks to capture the energy of this moment, and encourages scholars to take a fresh look at Prokofiev’s legacy from a multidisciplinary and global perspective. We are particularly interested in contributions that expand previous scholarship to explore Prokofiev’s music at intersections with topics including (but not limited to):
* Visual arts
* Ballet
* Film
* Archival studies
* Performance studies
* Music theory and analysis
Scholars and performers from all disciplines and professional perspectives are invited to submit proposals. Proposals may be for individual papers or lecture-recitals (both 20 minutes).
The symposium will take place at Columbia University in New York City on June 15-16, 2023. We will also arrange a hybrid option for speakers and guests.
Deadline for submission is March 20, 2023. In addition to the proposal (250 words), please include a brief biography of no more than 150 words, including institutional affiliation and recent publications. Applications should be emailed to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.. Proposals will be reviewed by a scientific committee, and applicants will be notified by April 1, 2023.

Music and Conflict
IAGMR Conference 2023: Music and Conflict: The Politics and Escapism of Wartime Culture
19-20 May 2023, Department of Music and Media, University of Surrey (Hybrid)
The Institute of Austrian and German Music Research (IAGMR) invites papers, panels, lecture recitals, and compositions for our conference on ‘Music and Conflict’.
This conference sets out to explore the various relationships between music and war across historical and contemporary Austrian and German contexts. In particular, the twin functions of music as either a product of war or a form of resistance against it are of interest. Papers might address the ways in which music has and continues to figure as a form of escapism, lamentation, or satire in times and places of war, conflict, violence, and military aggression in Germanophone lands. The historical remit of this conference is completely open to explore the deep involvement of musical composition, performance, criticism, and reception within any period of Austrian and German history.
We are particularly keen to receive papers from any subdiscipline of music, or music-adjacent discipline with a focus on music and war in Austria and/or Germany, including:
* Historical and Cultural Musicology
* Music Analysis
* Performance Studies
* Composition
* Archival Studies
* Music Psychology
* Music Philosophy and Aesthetics
* German/Austrian Historical/Cultural Studies
* Screen (Music) Studies
* Disability Studies
Presentations: 20-minute Papers, 60-minute Panels, 45-minute Lecture-Recitals, 10-minute Compositions (plus 10-min presentations).
Submissions should include the following: 250-word abstract, indication of equipment required, 50-word biography, and statement of attendance (in-person/remote).
Deadline for submissions: Friday 17 March 2023, 5pm by email to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.<mai
The Committee will notify authors of its decision by 6 April 2023.
This conference will feature a lecture-recital by the 2022-23 Artist in Residence at the Department of Music and Media, pianist and researcher Anna Scott (Royal Conservatory of The Hague and University of Leiden). We encourage everyone to attend this conference in person, but there will be a hybrid option for those who are unable to travel.
The University of Surrey is fully committed to the principles of equality and diversity enshrined in the Race Equality Charter, the Athena SWAN Charter, the Disability Confident scheme, and through its support of LGBTQ+ communities.

Docenza Drammaturgia multimediale – Accademia della belle arti di Urbino
The Editorial Board of Roczniki Humanistyczne (Fascicle 12 = Musicology) is seeking contributions of high academic quality for the forthcoming (2023) issue: Between Western classical music and popular culture.
The type of music termed both ‘artistic’ and ‘classical’ has been linked with popular culture for centuries. However, it was only at the end of the 18th century, and later the 19th, that there arose any reflection on popular culture itself, and it was the 20th century which provided the tools that made possible the emergence of systematic studies of both popular culture and music. Currently, research into this area of culture is being carried out on a large scale the world over, although the perspectives from which they are being made are constantly shifting, resulting in changes in the perception of this very area of culture.
One such paradigmatic change in the research on popular culture is in its equal treatment and connection with so-called high culture. These interactions take place in various areas and to varying intensity.The relationships between these two artistic spheres are complex and often very close, if not always obvious. These interactions are gradually becoming the subject of more and more extensive research, as demonstrated by the book published in October 2022, namely Twentieth-Century Music in the West: An Introduction by Tom Perchard, Stephen Graham, Tim Rutherford-Johnson and Holly Rogers, or Współczesna kultura muzyczna a popkultura: spotkania, dialogi, konfrontacje [Contemporary music and pop culture: meetings, dialogues, confrontations] edited by Ewa Kowalska-Zając (2021), although, of course, this topic has appeared before, for example in the thematic issue of the journal “Musurgia” – Le “savant” et le “populaire” (IX/1, 2002).
We especially, although not exclusively, encourage papers in the following area(s):
- “classical” genres and popular culture (musicals, rock operas, oratorios, cantatas, etc.) and vice versa;
- artistic techniques typical of “classical” music in the context of popular culture and vice versa (cyclicality, concept-albums, intertextuality, works on poetic texts, instruments, suites with film music, etc.);
- the experience of “classical” artists in the field of popular culture and vice versa;
- the functioning of classical music themes in popular culture and vice versa (quotations and paraphrases in songs, music in advertising, film music, popular songs in opera, covers and transcriptions, etc.);
- genres and other possibilities which are located on the border between these two areas and which integrate them;
- the functioning of stars and virtuosos in culture, and their reception;
- the methodology used to study “classical” music in research on popular culture and vice versa;
- research on the interactions of these areas of culture in theoretical and aesthetic approaches.
We accept only unpublished papers of academic quality, reserving the right to preselect articles in terms of both subject matter and editorial content. Contributions, which should follow the MLA citation style and not exceed 30,000 characters in length (including abstract and references), should be submitted via the Open Journal System.
Preferred languages: English, French, Polish.
Deadline for submission: 15th March 2023.

Géographies musicales en texte, sur scène et à l'écran
Appel à contributions
revue Caliban (à paraître en septembre 2024)
Géographies musicales
en texte, sur scène et à l'écran
Responsables du numéro : Nathalie Vincent-Arnaud et Frédéric Sounac (Université Toulouse-Jean Jaurès)
Ce double numéro de Caliban offrira un prolongement au programme de recherche interdiscipinaire « Musique et Littérature : dialogues intersémiotiques », porté conjointement par les équipes d’accueil CAS (EA 801) et LLA-CREATIS (EA 4152). Le thème « Géographies musicales » y fait suite depuis peu à celui de « Dérèglements » qui a privilégié l'étude de la confrontation avec les espaces liminaux que la musique ouvre pour l'intellect et les sens, la tension entre mise en ordre et chaos, épiphanies et règne de l'irrésolu et de l'instabilité.
Dans la continuité de certaines de nos réflexions antérieures, nous souhaitons, pour ce numéro, faire la part belle à la construction et au déploiement d'un imaginaire musical ainsi qu'à son potentiel d'engendrement créateur en tant que marqueur identitaire et territorial. Le terme de « géographies » amène nécessairement à s'interroger sur les notions d'identité, de territoire, de frontière, d'accueil, d'ouverture et de clôture, qu'il conviendra d'examiner dans leurs diverses acceptions mais aussi dans leur complémentarité. En guise d’exemple, on peut remarquer que le développement d’un nationalisme musical à l’âge romantique alimente chez Hoffmann une puissante dialectique Italie/Allemagne, relayée par Balzac, à laquelle se substitue, au début du XXe siècle, une dialectique Allemagne/France. Comment ce relais se manifeste-t-il dans les écrits littéraires, mais aussi sur scène et à l’écran ? En quoi la musique participe-t-elle à la constitution d’un certain regard sur la Russie au XIXe siècle, sur l’Espagne au début du XXe ? Et surtout, dans la perspective de Caliban, pourquoi l’Angleterre, au mépris de l’évidence, a-t-elle pu être considérée comme un territoire « sans musique » alors que l’Écosse constitue pour sa part un véritable mythe esthétique pour la génération romantique ?
Les diverses notions précédemment mises en exergue nous semblent ainsi, en tout premier lieu, appeler un travail définitoire touchant aux domaines conjugués de la musicographie (on peut penser, au XVIIIe siècle, au célèbre Voyage musical dans l’Europe des Lumières du Britannique Charles Burney), de l'histoire culturelle, de l'esthétique, mais aussi bien sûr de l'histoire, de la philosophie, de la linguistique et de l'analyse des autres langages artistiques avec lesquels la musique entrera en relation pour l'étude concernée (notamment littérature, cinéma, opéra).
Corélativement, outre l'ancrage originel d'un genre musical, d'une œuvre ou d'un compositeur dans un territoire spécifique et les effets produits par cette appartenance première (dont la nature et l'histoire pourront être précisées), on pourra envisager leur dissémination au-delà des frontières territoriales ou génériques, ainsi que les modalités de leur voyage, de leur réception et, le cas échéant, de leur évolution, de leur mutation ou de leurs détours, dans d'autres contextes géographiques, linguistiques ou sémiotiques.
De même, ce thème nous semble ouvrir la voie à des considérations sur les effets de « géographie magique » (au sens que Jean-Pierre Richard a donné à ce terme dans Poésie et profondeur) engendrés par une œuvre ou un compositeur, résultant de la fascination qu'ils sont susceptibles d'exercer et de l'arrimage aux valeurs et aux mythes qu'ils véhiculent. Pourront également trouver leur place dans ce cadre les notions de sanctuarisation de certains espaces musicaux, de pélerinage musical, liées à la remarquable force d'attraction exercée par un langage qui, selon Charles Rosen, « se tient aux confins du sens et du non-sens » ou encore, comme l’affirme Jean-Michel Maulpoix, « affole ou fait taire la parole » et offre donc, à ce titre, des perspectives souvent inédites de passage et de franchissement de frontières dont la nature, la variabilité et le degré de porosité restent à définir.
Ces quelques pistes ne sont bien sûr qu'indicatives. En raison des orientations de la revue, les contributions devront avoir partie liée avec le monde anglophone, quelles que soient les époques et les aires géographiques concernées.
Modalités de soumission et calendrier prévisionnel
Les propositions de contribution, en français ou en anglais, devront être adressées pour le 15 mars 2023 aux deux responsables du numéro, Nathalie Vincent-Arnaud et Frédéric Sounac (Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo. ; Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.). Elles devront comporter un résumé d'environ 250 mots ainsi qu'une brève notice biographique.
Les notifications d'acceptation ou de refus seront envoyées pour le 15 avril 2023.
Les articles complets (entre 6000 et 8000 mots, notes de bas de page comprises) devront ensuite parvenir aux deux responsables du numéro pour le 1er octobre 2023, mis en forme selon la feuille de style de la revue. Une attention particulière devra être portée aux normes bibliographiques en vigueur avant la remise des articles.

Sonic Ties: Rethinking Communities and Collectives
isaScience 2023, mdw – University for Music and Performing Arts Vienna
Reichenau/Rax, Austria and online, 26-30 August 2023
Sound and social relations are tightly interwoven and oftentimes contingent upon each other. ‘Sonic Ties’ offers a lens through which to study the qualities of connection and intersubjectivity that arise through sound. isaScience 2023 invites you to explore ‘Sonic Ties’ as a central mode of sharing communality and experiencing collectivity through music, dance, and other phenomena of performance and cultural expression.
By focusing on this specific mode of relating the sonic and the social, mdw’s interdisciplinary, international conference investigates how sound shapes collectives and communities in different societal, historical, and geopolitical contexts, and the ways in which these sonic ties reflect back on the individuals involved. Looking at communities and collectives from social movements to musical ensembles, from ethnic communities to artist collectives, isaScience 2023 seeks to investigate the entanglements of sound and power relations. What are the different forms and degrees of sonic participation and to what extent are they tied to local or globalized experiences?
We welcome proposals from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives including, but not limited to, Queer Theory, Musicology, Cultural Studies, Music Theory, Indigenous Studies, Music Sociology, Critical Race Studies, Ethnomusicology, Popular Music Studies, Dance and Performance Studies, Post-Colonial Studies, and Film and Media Studies.
Contributions can include paper presentations (20 minutes plus discussion), panels, lecture performances, workshops, or other, innovative formats. Online contributions are possible.
Abstracts must clearly state your research question(s), theoretical framework, methodology, and presentation format. Please include max. 5 keywords.
Please submit your abstract in English (max. 300 words including references), a short biography (max. 100 words), and your institutional affiliation or location by 5 March 2023 in a single PDF file to isascience -at- mdw.ac.at
Registration is free of charge. Complementary funding for travel and accommodation costs is available after acceptance of the proposal on a case-by-case basis.

Sociopolitical Topicality in the Repertoire of Nineteenth-Century Provincial Theatres
Call for Contributions
Conference on Sociopolitical Topicality in the Repertoire of Nineteenth-Century Provincial Theatres
Thursday 6 July – Saturday 8 July 2023 in Bern (Switzerland)
Held by Hochschule der Künste Bern (HKB)
Conference website: www.hkb-interpretation.ch/felt
Theatre Research has long concentrated on major theatres in metropolitan areas. Smaller theatres in provincial towns have thus escaped the attention of larger studies despite their importance as sociocultural venues and vital places of sociopolitical debate in a time of rapid political change. Being places of information exchange, sociopolitical negotiation and the formation of public opinion, nineteenth-century provincial theatres are engaged with an ongoing local reality reflected in their choice of repertoire and their staging decisions.
The conference focuses on nineteenth-century performances of provincial theatres thematising topical sociopolitical events or debates and contextualises these performances in their local realities. It therefore considers not only theatre pieces themselves, but also forms of theatre organisation, stakeholders involved in programming and staging decisions, performance practices, and the composition of a local public as well as their expectations and reactions. These perspectives allow a reevaluation of provincial theatres as venues that deeply shape as well as mirror sociopolitical reality in provincial towns.
The aim of this encounter is thus a discussion of nineteenth-century practices of provincial theatres, in particular case studies of performances staging topical socio-political events or debates.
We invite researchers in various disciplines (history, sociology, musicology, literature and theatre studies, performance studies, visual arts, restoration, anthropology, architecture…) to propose abstracts on the following aspects:
- programming: theatre performances that thematise (local) contemporary events. How is the repertoire in provincial theatres chosen? Who chooses it? What is the relationship between (local) sociopolitical events and performances in local theatres?
- repertoire: theatre pieces with a topical sociopolitical content. What is the relationship between the plot/characters/structure of theatre pieces staged in local theatres and ongoing sociopolitical events/debates?
- reception: the theatre as a place for shaping public opinion. How do spectators react to and participate in current events and debates? How do they react to the staging of pieces with a (local) sociopolitical content?
- tastes and fashions: what are the fortunes and successes of different pieces/theatre genres between centre and periphery? How are debates and events in metropolitan areas taken up in local contexts? How are pieces adapted to a local context?
- performance practice: who performs on stage? How do theatre, opera, dance companies and orchestras choose their repertoire adapted to local theatres? How do their programming and staging practices differ from those for major theatres?
We invite submissions for papers of 20 minutes each (with a subsequent 10 minutes for questions). Proposals may be in English/German/French/Italian (c. 400 words), describing the topic and including the following:
· abstract (background, research questions, aims, and significance);
· a short CV, including name, postal and email addresses, and institutional affiliation of proposer.
Please mail submissions to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo. by 28 February 2023.
Confirmation of accepted papers will be announced by 31 March 2023. Travel and accommodation expenses may be covered, if needed. Papers given at the conference will be published in a collected volume on the subject (peer reviewed, open access). For this purpose, they must be submitted in their final form (c. 7000 words) no later than 30 September 2023.
Conference languages: English, German, French, Italian

‘Everyday is Spatial’ (EiS) is an event designed to encourage and explore creativity in the making of audio and immersive experiences. The presentation and discussion of works will enable practitioners to reveal the potentials, challenges and uses for how spatial audio will define the everyday audio experience.
EiS ran for the first time in June 2022 presenting a diverse range of practices all centred around applications of spatial audio. With 30+ presentations, performances and installations from an international submission list, it established the need and demand for practitioners and academics to share their research and interest in this evolving field.
Production technologies are becoming increasing available for a range of practitioners working across a variety of specialisms and sectors, allowing audio production to go beyond purely technological considerations by harnessing the creative affordances of the spatial paradigm.
At a time when hearing and listening are enabling us to investigate and understand our place in a changing world, the challenge is to populate and define this new immersive ‘soundscape’, by considering how ideas, concepts and practices are facilitating new modes of auditory experience.
For the 2023 ‘Everyday is Spatial’ conference, we invite all practitioners working in this medium to share work, ideas and experiences to generate discussion and debate.
The conference aims to address the following themes:
· Spatial audio practices in music production – emerging discourses in composing for spatial and spatialising production.
· Immersive storytelling in journalism, theatre, film and games – spatialisation as a narrative device, issues of authenticity, realism, hyperrealism.
· Soundscape, ecomusicology and renewed environmentalism – field recording and immersive listening.
· Immersive events – sound systems, immersive spaces, and emerging paradigms for spatialising live performance and sound design at events.
· Spatial audio and audiovisual practice – emerging discourses and explorations of spatial audio in the context of screen media, projection and installation.
We are interested in a broad range of creative contexts where spatial audio is a critical factor, and we welcome considerations of how it might be enabling your practice and research in a variety of ways.
Published outputs from EiS 2022 are forthcoming via Routledge and the International Journal of Creative Media Practice, and we anticipate similar outcomes for EiS 2023.
At the University of Gloucestershire we have various spaces designed to enable staff, researchers and students to explore the affordances of spatial audio practices. Facilities for 22.2 / 7.1.4 / 7.2.4 / 5.1 and Binaural playback along with audiovisual capabilities for screen media with ATMOS, Projections, and VR platforms.

Musical Competitions in Europe, 1700-1920, Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini, Lovere (BG) Italy, 9-11 June 2023
Conference Title: Musical Competitions in Europe, 1700-1920
Organized by: Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini, Palazzetto Bru Zane
Lovere (BG) Italy, 9-11 June 2023
Keynote Speakers:
• Charles Edward McGuire (Oberlin College & Conservatory, OH)
Deadline: Sunday 19 February 2023
Multiplication of musical competitions during the 18th and 19th centuries is one aspect of this art’s development that has been neglected until now. It concerns instrumental or vocal performances as well as composition or instrument making. It can be a way to bring people together, to promote an institution or an industry, to encourage emulation, or to develop a certain way to practise or write music.
In the 18th century composers and musicians used to compete each other in performance, especially with organ, harpsichord or violin. But the modern form of competition develops in the 19th century.
The conference aims to examine these competitions and to analyse their flourishing on a large geographical and temporal scales. We encourage studies that focus on the purpose of these events, and on the way they work: competition programmes, members of the jury, evaluation criteria, rewards, etc. Facing the declining influence of patronage, are musical contests an expression of a certain democratization of this art?
–Vocal or instrumental competitions
– Famous Musical Duels (Handel vs Scarlatti; Beethoven vs Steibelt; Mozart vs Clementi; Liszt vs Thalberg, etc.)
– Composition contests
– Instrument’s making in World Fair or national fairs
– Members of the juries
– Institutions organizing competitions
– Musical genres promoted by competitions
– Political discourse during these events
– The use of medals or titles in the promotion of an artistic career

The organizers warmly invite abstract submissions for the 2023 Annual Conference of the Nordic Society for Aesthetics, with the leading topic, “Aesthetics and the body”. Aesthetics is inextricably linked with the body; with the body as sensing and as sensed; with objects as embodied, forming the shape of artworks, gestures and rhythm. As bodies we sense the world, at the same time as our experience is mediated, opening up a field of tension and distance, of the object as ‘the other’, as an opening for the sensuous.
Temporary ecological concerns also open up reflections concerning the reconfiguration of the relationship between the body and the sensitive world. Through his concept of force, Christoph Menke grounds aesthetics in an anthropology of difference, a difference between force and faculty, between human and subject, where aesthetics is defined as a force belonging to the human not the subject. In line with this, genealogical anthropology has become aesthetic anthropology leading behind the subject to man. This opens up reflections on aesthetics in relation to the human as embedded in nature, or aesthetics in relation to the Anthropocene.
The conference is an invitation to consider:
* the relation between phenomenology and aesthetics
* the relation between aesthetics and cognition
* the status of “applied Aesthetics” (Analysis, Interpretation, Criticism, Commentary...) within discussions and reception of artworks and art-phenomena today
* methodological questions related to aesthetics as an approach to artworks as ‘the other’
* aesthetics as embodiment, performance, rhythm, and time.
* the relation between aesthetics and the gendered and situated body
* the relation between aesthetics and the political
* aesthetics and the Anthropocene
* questions related to aesthetics as providing a perspective “from the outside”
* the aesthetics of practice

Music’s institution and the (de)colonial
We invite contributions to a two-day conference at Lund University, Sweden, on 4–5 May 2023. We welcome researchers, artists, and activists whose work explores issues of colonialism, decolonial resistance, and/or institutional decolonisation initiatives in relation to music’s past and present.
Please submit a title and abstract (max. 200 words) of your proposed contribution to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo. <mailto:philip.dodds@kultur.
We welcome creative methods, interdisciplinary approaches, and different presentation formats, but we invite all contributors to specifically address one of the following three themes:
1. Musical colonisation
Kofi Agawu has directed attention to the processes and effects of “musical colonization” (2016, 338), highlighting, among other things, the legacy of colonial European ethnomusicology and the global imposition of Protestant hymns’ diatonic tonality in the nineteenth century. In the African context this was, according to Agawu, “musical violence of a very high order,” the intricacies and processes of which “remain to be properly explored” (ibid.). We therefore invite contributors to explore the processes and consequences of musical colonisation, and the different forms it has taken in different times and places. Specifically:
- How have colonising powers sought to categorise and taxonomise indigenous music?
- How have the musical instruments, styles, and conventions of colonised people been suppressed?
- Through which disciplinary techniques and instruments have colonisers imposed their musical practices and tonal systems?
- How has the composition and performance of music functioned as a means of claiming and asserting control over colonised places and peoples?
2. Music as decolonial resistance
Throughout history many musicians and composers have expressed their political resistance through music practices. The historical Avant-garde did it with abstraction and insistence on art’s materiality, 1960s and 1970s protest movements turned to folk-song tradition and “sing and song” writing, the punk movement used loudness and noise, while artists in totalitarian systems often turn to religious references and expressions. With this context we ask contributors to consider:
- How is musical resistance expressed in colonial contexts?
- What are the institutional strategies?
- What are the aesthetics?
- How can music be an active part of the processes of decolonisation?
3. Dynamics of colonialism in musical institutions today
National governments and inter-governmental organisations have in the past two decades launched programmes meant to explicitly address their colonial legacies in the field of the arts, often part of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Our focus is primarily on the Nordic region, but we welcome studies from other contexts, as well as explorations of the geographical and geopolitical complexity of musical institutions’ decolonisation policies, including from STS and infrastructural critique perspectives, with questions such as:
- How are policies addressing colonial legacies being deployed, and how are they interacting with and potentially changing theories of musical aesthetics?
- To what extent do they address and overcome colonial relations?
- How do concepts of decolonisation intersect with other DEI initiatives in music and arts policy today?
- What are the blindspots and negative unintended consequences of these policies?
- In what ways do these programmes intersect with dynamics of neocolonialism? What do contemporary debates on decolonisation in music and art discourses fail to address and why?

Call for Contributions NoiseFloor 2023
The Department of Music and Sound at Staffordshire University will once again be hosting NoiseFloor in May 2023.
Submission link: https://staffordshire.qualtric
Key Dates
• NoiseFloor – Thurs 11th and Fri 12th May 2023
• Deadline for abstract submissions: Friday 10th February 2023
• Notification of acceptance: from Monday 13th March 2023
• Deadline for registration: Friday 14th April 2023
Our theme for 2023 will be Representation.
In the early 1890s, the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák was invited to New York to become the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America. There he encountered African American music through the singing of Harry Burleigh, a talented singer and a scholarship student at the conservatory. Dvořák became convinced that African American music should become the foundation of the music of the United States saying, “These beautiful and varied themes are the products of the soil. They are American…your composers must turn to them. This must be the real foundation of any serious and original school of composition to be developed in the United States”.
While the influence of African American music in Jazz and popular music is undeniable, the story is very different in the world of American classical music. It is only very recently, for example, that the works of composers from underrepresented groups such as Florence Price or Julius Eastman are becoming more widely known. Although it was founded in 1883, the Metropolitan Opera of New York, did not stage an opera by a black composer until 2021.
Of course, these issues are not unique to the USA. In Europe and across the world important communities and voices are not represented in our art, which raises important questions...
To what extent is our own subset of music guilty of underrepresenting certain groups? What can we, as a community, do to address these issues? How can we ensure that our work encourages equality, diversity, and inclusion? What constitutes good practice in these areas?
Creative works, presentations and discussion addressing these questions and related themes are encouraged; as always, proposals for other relevant topics are also welcome.
Submissions should fall into one of the following categories:
• 20-minute paper presentations (with 5 minutes for questions)
• 35-minute lecture recitals (with 5-minutes for questions)

Music and Pleasure before the Law <https://www.ucd.ie/music/even
28-29 June 2023
University College Dublin
Keynote: Professor Suzanne Cusick
This conference seeks to step back from the traditional focus on how musicians or musical works represent specific sexual desires and identities to interrogate the larger institutional, administrative, and discursive forces that conterminously shape the history of music and sexuality. Intentionally returning to Foucault’s interest in the emergence and productivity of disciplinary practices, we invite paper presentations that examine moments where music and pleasure have been brought together before the law or, more generally, any authoritative discourse which purports to regulate human behavior. . Inviting scholars to share diverse historical and cultural situations, we intend to collectively and investigate the following questions: To what extent have legal or doctrinal discourses considered music and sexuality as analogous issues? What are the shared tactics used to regulate or manage musical and sexual behaviors? What actions have been taken by marginalized individuals or groups to undercut, evade, or reform discourses that limited musical and sexual freedom? What methodological, theoretical, or conceptual resources are needed to tackle such issues? Responding to these questions, we hope to consider how our reactions to contemporary sexual politics can draw from those who have previously encountered the varied, but historically persistent forces that attempt to bring order to the unruly world of sexual and musical experience.
Possible topics include:
-Laws, canons, and regulations pertaining to music and sexual behavior.
-Exemplary scandals or court cases in the history of music and sexuality.
-Regulation of performers’ sexuality (either real or imagined).
-Music and sex under colonial administration.
-Transnational and comparative studies of music and law.
-Policing tactics, censorship, or punishment of sexual/sonic transgressions.
-Foucauldian approaches to the history of music and sexuality.
-Biopolitics, reproduction, and the normalization of music/sound.
-Definitions of musical or sonic obscenity.
-Musical/sonic pleasure and morality.
-Music and (sexual) repression.
-Music and (sexual) liberation or protest.
Abstracts (max. 300 words) should be submitted through the conference website by 5 February 2023: https://www.ucd.ie/music/event

“Instruments, Interfaces, Infrastructures: An Interdisciplinary Conference on Musical Media”
“Instruments, Interfaces, Infrastructures: An Interdisciplinary Conference on Musical Media”
Harvard University Department of Music, May 11-13, 2023
Deadline for submissions: Friday, January 13, 2023
We are pleased to announce a three-day conference bringing together researchers and artists from a variety of music-related disciplines for a dialogue on the interconnected themes of instruments, interfaces, and infrastructures.
As evidenced by the rise of “new” organologies, there is growing interest among music scholars in studying instruments as epistemologically loaded objects that encapsulate knowledge of sound and mediate sonic practices. Our conference aims to extend this work into the interdisciplinary zones of interface studies and infrastructure studies. Bridging these discourses, the conference will open space for imagining new theories, methodologies, and practices that scale between different layers of musical media, showing how bodies, tools, and techniques are entangled in a dynamic web of material-semiotic relations.
The conference will feature three keynote speakers—musicologist Emily Dolan, sound artist and media scholar Tara Rodgers, and music theorist Sumanth Gopinath—each responding to one of the main conference themes. There will also be creative workshops and performances featuring the 40-loudspeaker HYDRA system of the Harvard University Studio for Electroacoustic Composition, as well as faculty-artists from the Electronic Production and Design (EPD) program at Berklee College of Music. Finally, conference attendees will be offered guided tours of acoustical artifacts at Harvard’s Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, and researchers are invited to propose papers and panels focusing on these historical objects at hand.
The conference organizing committee welcomes proposals for individual papers, themed sessions, roundtables, workshops, and creative contributions. To foster an interdisciplinary space of collaboration, we encourage applications that respond to the conference themes from a broad range of disciplinary perspectives. We especially encourage proposals by scholars, artists, and activists working within and across Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and other underrepresented communities in the fields of music, media, and sound studies.
To apply, submit an abstract (350 words), short biography (150 words), and a list of five keywords describing your project. Optionally, you may also provide a select bibliography (1 page) and supplementary examples (1-2 pages), or in the case of creative proposals, a URL weblink to access audio/visual material (2-3 minutes).
The deadline for all proposals is at 11:59pm EST on Friday, January 13, 2023. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified in early February 2023. Email complete proposals to iiicon2023-at-gmail.com.

Music and Dance on East--West Axis
Call for Papers Music and Dance on East–West Axis:Correlations and Mobilities- Internationalscientific symposium - Organizers:Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts: Institute of Musicology – Department ofArts, Istanbul University State ConservatoryLocation:Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade (Serbia)Dates: September 4–6th, 2023 Thequestion of “Orient” inhumanities gained significant attention, especially after the landmark work ofEdward Said (1978). However, the issue of representation from the position ofpower was of a much older date, and the eurocentric perspective of the late 19th and 20th centuriesinfluenced comparative musicology and then ethnomusicology to a certain extent,due to the fact that ethnomusicology as a discipline isrooted in the observation of music of “theOthers”. Said’s work also affected academic discourse aboutquestions of (Middle) East wars and the history and social reflections of thereligions, and it was a necessary basis for postcolonial and deconializationstudies in global terms, which occupy a significant position in contemporaryethnomusicology (and musicology). Perceived from the aspect of“the crossroads between Eastand West” and the attitude of abandonment of burdening synonym forconflicting nations, the Balkans, as the main focus area for this symposium, isobserved as a field for research of correlations in music and dance heritage,as well as the space where/through music/dance and musicians/dancers aremigrating and moving.In the 21stcentury, the study of cultural relations through music and dance in theBalkans, with the idea of establishing historical and contemporary connections,has stimulated several international projects based on collaborativeethnomusicologica

How might reflecting on music’s many metaphors enhance our ability to think precisely, act ethically, and play creatively with music, sound, listening—and more broadly, life?
Our proposed edited volume will map networks of metaphors that structure music discourse; trace their musicological, social, and political repercussions; grapple with current metaphors; and offer up new ones for consideration. We seek essays that dislodge the fixed, open the closed, and enliven the ossified metaphors of the music disciplines.
We invite personal reflections, ethnographic case studies, genealogical critiques, and other forms of prose that seek to dislodge the fixed, open the closed, and enliven the ossified metaphors of the music disciplines.
Proposals comprise of (in no more than 400 words total): 1) a short reflection on your experiences with metaphors in music 2) a short abstract, and 3) a single sentence that embodies your proposed essay’s energy and style.

Sigfrid Karg-Elert im Kontext seiner Zeit
Sigfrid Karg-Elert im Kontext seiner Zeit
Wissenschaftliches Symposion an der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal im Rahmen der Jahrestagung der Karg-Elert-Gesellschaft
Wuppertal, 09.09.2023
Deadline: 15.04.2023
Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Gaußstraße 20, Raum S.17.13.
Der Komponist, Musiktheoretiker, Interpret und Musikpädagoge Sigfrid Karg-Elert (1877–1933) hat bisher noch keine seiner künstlerischen Bedeutung adäquate wissenschaftliche Aufbereitung erfahren. Während viele seiner Werke inzwischen auf Tonträgern eingespielt vorliegen, in Konzerten erklingen und in der professionellen Ausbildung (vor allem in den Fächern Orgel, Flöte und Gesang) eine Rolle spielen, gibt es bis heute keine umfassende monographische Darstellung seines Lebens und Werks, und nur wenige, eher spezialisierte Einzelbeiträge geben Aufschluss über Struktur, Bedeutung und historische Zusammenhänge seiner Kompositionen. Auch das existierende Werkverzeichnis bietet noch großes Potential für überraschende Entdeckungen und eröffnet daher zahlreiche Forschungsperspektiven.
Das wissenschaftliche Symposion dient dazu, neue Facetten des Gesamtwerks zu erschließen, um die Bedeutung Karg-Elerts im musikhistorischen und musiktheoretischen Kontext zu verdeutlichen. Dies umfasst sowohl die Betrachtung einzelner, bisher weniger beachteter Werke oder Werkgruppen wie auch größerer Zusammenhänge in synchroner wie diachroner Perspektive, z. B. in Form vergleichender Analysen oder dem Aufzeigen kompositorischer Bezugnahmen oder Abgrenzungen.
Das Symposion ist eingebettet in die reguläre Jahrestagung der Karg-Elert-Gesellschaft, die vom 8.–10. September in Wuppertal stattfindet und auch einige Konzerte sowie einen abschließenden Kantate-Gottesdienst umfasst.
Die Veranstalter laden interessierte Forscherinnen und Forscher dazu ein, am Symposion und/oder der gesamten Tagung teilzunehmen und einen ca. 30-minütigen Vortrag zu halten. Wir bitten um Themenvorschläge mit Abstract bis zum 15. April 2023. Die Übernachtungskosten können übernommen werden.

The Northwestern University Libraries' John Cage Collection is an extensive archive of primary materials documenting the life and work of the 20th century’s most revolutionary composer. Established by Cage in the early 1970s, the collection grew considerably over the following decades as Cage placed more and more materials at Northwestern until his death in 1992. Since then, the archive has been expanded further with acquisitions obtained through donation and purchase. As a major repository of original Cage materials, the collection supports the work of scholars worldwide and has been a source for many books, articles and dissertations.
Established in 2013 to promote further use of the John Cage Collection, the Northwestern University Libraries John Cage Research Grant is a competitive award for one or more scholars whose research requires substantial on-site use of the Cage Collection.
Funding
- Each year we will award one or more grants, up to a total of $3,000.
- Grants will be awarded to reimburse expenses for transportation, accommodations, and meals for one or more on-site visits to Northwestern University Libraries for the purpose of research using the John Cage Collection.
Eligibility
- Open to academic and independent researchers. We encourage applications by those working in traditional academic practice as well as those whose research is interdisciplinary, or oriented towards creative arts and practices.
- There are no restrictions as to the applicant’s nationality or academic status.
- Research may be in any field (e.g., musicology, art history, philosophy, literature, cultural studies), but projects must concern an aspect of Cage’s life and work and must clearly demonstrate a need for extensive use of the Cage Collection.
- Travel grants are not granted to researchers affiliated with Northwestern University.
- Applicants who are not awarded the grant the first time they apply may resubmit in following years without prejudice.
- An applicant may receive only one award for any one project as determined by the selection committee and Northwestern Libraries.
- At the discretion of the committee and Northwestern University Libraries, the grant may be awarded to an individual applicant, a team, or divided among multiple applicants and/or teams. Further, if a suitable recipient is not identified among the applications received, we reserve the right to withhold the grant for that particular year.

"Benedicamus Domino"
Thursday 7 and Friday 8 September 2023, University of Oslo
Deadline for submission: 15 March 2023
For more than a millennium, the exclamation Benedicamus Domino ("Let us bless the Lord") has sounded in song several times a day, with various liturgical and ritual functions. This two-day conference explores the history of the Benedicamus versicle, its musical and poetic embellishments, and its sacred, secular, and material contexts across the fullest extent of the versicle’s wide chronological and geographical span.
We invite papers that intersect specifically with the Benedicamus Domino or its broader or parallel frames of reference. Themes include but are not limited to:
- New sources, new centres
- Theological and liturgical perspectives
- Poetic elaboration and troping
- Ritual contexts (e.g. processions, comparable versicles)
- Unwritten traditions and their written traces
- Female communities
- Medievalism and carols
- Young singers and pedagogy
- "Simple" polyphony
- Analytical case studies and approaches
Presentations may take the form of either a 20-minute individual paper or a 10-minute lightning paper (focused on a specific source or musical example). This is an English-language and in-person conference.
Please send abstracts of maximum 300 words to benedicamus-conference -at- imv.uio.no by 15 March 2023, with contact details and affiliation (if applicable). Notification of acceptance will be given by 31 March.

The Expertise of the Musical Amateur
CFP: The Expertise of the Musical Amateur
University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz
A Cooperation between the Institute for Music Aesthetics, Institute for Music Pedagogy, and the Center for Gender Studies
October 12th and 13th, 2023
Languages of the Conference: English and German
Deadline for Submissions: March 15, 2023
Keynote Speakers: Prof. Dr. Glenda Goodman, Associate Professor in Musicology, University of Pennsylvania, USA
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Lessing, Professor in Music Pedagogy, Hochschule für Musik Freiburg, Germany
Web CFP: https://musikaesthetik.kug.ac.
The terms amateur and expert come across, at first glance, as opposing concepts. While in the strictest terms, an amateur is someone who pursues music non-professionally, and thus not for financial gain or to make a living in general, it has been common to assume that most such musicians also usually have less musical skill than professionals, so much so that this has become a secondary part of the definition of the term. Yet many cases in music history and in today’s musical practices–including as studied within music pedagogy–complicate this association. Historically, many amateur musicians attained a professional level of skill, including women for whom a professional career in music was not possible. In the past and today, the boundaries between amateurism and professionalism have been ever fluid. Amateurs have crossed into the world of professional activity, and professionals have similarly become amateurs. In many music clubs such as wind orchestras, professional musicians have worked and still work closely together with amateurs, creating a shared expertise that connects both worlds. In instrumental teaching, there is also a tension between the ideas of professionalism and amateurism: on the one hand, students look up aspirationally to their professional teachers, and may wish to be professionals one day; on the other hand, in the vast majority of cases, the aim is for students to acquire the necessary know-how to be active as amateur musicians.
And perhaps most importantly, amateur music-making has often been praised precisely for its status as something outside of the paid musical professions. Qualities like a greater sincerity, originality, or openness to new ideas have been associated with amateur music-making, for example, and professionals have sometimes been described as being less well-suited to have these qualities due to the market demands on their work. These assumptions about amateurism have been persistent, potent, and deeply problematic historically and in recent discussions about amateurism, as they very often oversimplify distinctions in the musical contributions of amateurs and professionals.
The conference “The Expertise of the Musical Amateur” thus seeks to answer the following questions from multiple interdisciplinary angles: In what senses might amateur musicians be said to have particular, special types of expertise, and how might this expertise be best understood within a continuum of amateur and professional musical practices? To address this question, we invite contributions that take historical, pedagogical, aesthetic, ethnographic, or sociological approaches to the topic; contributions need not be confined to any particular historical period or geographic region.
Some possible topic areas might include (with an eye toward the larger question of “expertise):
-Gender, class, or race and amateurism
-Historical social contexts for amateur musical activity
-Pedagogical perspectives on amateurism in historical or current contexts
-Amateur contributions to music pedagogy
-Social interactions between amateurs and professionals
-Aesthetic qualities of amateur composition or performance
-Amateur (or its synonyms) as a pejorative or laudatory term in music

CNCS PG Conference 2023: The Nineteenth Century Now: Reassessing the Continued Role and Relevance of the Long Nineteenth Century
CNCS PG Conference 2023: The Nineteenth Century Now: Reassessing the Continued Role and Relevance of the Long Nineteenth Century
26 April 2023, Newcastle, United Kingdom
The Centre For Nineteenth-Century Studies (CNCS) invites papers (15 minutes) for our annual interdisciplinary Postgraduate conference.
The nineteenth century was a crucial period in the development of new ideas, transnational connections and the widespread professionalisation of disciplines ranging from history to the natural sciences. The Humanities as a whole face new challenges with increasing emphasis on societal impacts from research. Yet, these challenges also present opportunities for nineteenth- century studies to reassess and reshape themselves in new ways, incorporating developments such as the rise of digital humanities and interdisciplinary research methods. The Centre for Nineteenth Century Studies (CNCS) at Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham Universities invites papers that grapple with these developments, from nineteenth-century artefacts and texts to reflections on the place of nineteenth-century studies as a discipline. Papers that address the interdisciplinary nature of nineteenth-century studies are particularly encouraged.
Papers may address, but are not limited to, the following questions:
* How does the nineteenth century define itself across disciplines in a contemporary research context? What are the challenges that emerge within and across disciplines?
* How might nineteenth-century studies respond to recent projects such as decolonisation of the curriculum? And what does it mean to study the nineteenth century now?
* How and why do legacies of the long nineteenth century remain important to current society and culture?
Paper abstracts should be no more than 300 words in length and must be mailed to: Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.<mai

Music and Pleasure before the Law
28-29 June 2023
University College Dublin
Keynote: Professor Suzanne Cusick
This conference seeks to step back from the traditional focus on how musicians or musical works represent specific sexual desires and identities to interrogate the larger institutional, administrative, and discursive forces that conterminously shape the history of music and sexuality. Intentionally returning to Foucault’s interest in the emergence and productivity of disciplinary practices, we invite paper presentations that examine moments where music and pleasure have been brought together before the law or, more generally, any authoritative discourse which purports to regulate human behavior. We especially hope to sustain conversations that are transhistorical and transcultural in order to consider how our reactions to contemporary sexual politics can draw from those who have previously encountered the varied, but historically persistent forces that attempt to bring order to the unruly world of sexual and musical experience.
Possible topics include:
-Laws, canons, and regulations pertaining to music and sexual behavior.
-Exemplary scandals or court cases in the history of music and sexuality.
-Regulation of performers’ sexuality (either real or imagined).
-Music and sex under colonial administration.
-Transnational and comparative studies of music and law.
-Policing tactics, censorship, or punishment of sexual/sonic transgressions.
-Foucauldian approaches to the history of music and sexuality.
-Biopolitics, reproduction, and the normalization of music/sound.
-Definitions of musical or sonic obscenity.
-Musical/sonic pleasure and morality.
-Music and (sexual) repression.
-Music and (sexual) liberation or protest.
Abstracts (max. 300 words) should be submitted through the conference website by 5 February 2023: https://www.ucd.ie/music/
All inquiries can be directed to Dr. Kyle Kaplan and Dr. Matthew Thomson at music.pleasure.law -at- gmail.com.
ELIGIBILITY

ELIGIBILITY
The Howard Mayer Brown Fellowship was established by friends of the late Howard Mayer Brown on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Intended to increase the presence of minority scholars and teachers in musicology, the fellowship supports one year of graduate work for a student at a U.S. or Canadian university who is a member of a historically underrepresented group, including, in the U.S., African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans, and, in Canada, aboriginal peoples and visible minorities (as defined by Canadian legislation). Preference will normally be given to candidates who are citizens or permanent residents of a North American* country. The award will not be made to those who already have full funding roughly equivalent to the amount of the Howard Mayer Brown Fellowship, regardless of whether it includes a teaching assignment, except on a non-stipendiary basis.
Students are eligible who have completed at least one year of full-time graduate work, intend to pursue a Ph.D., and are in good standing at their home institution. They should show evidence of academic excellence and promise of continuing achievement in music scholarship. Those in the earlier stages of the degree are particularly encouraged to apply. Students at a U.S. or Canadian university who are a member of a historically underrepresented group, including, in the U.S., African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans, and, in Canada, aboriginal peoples and visible minorities (as defined by Canadian legislation) are encouraged to apply.

The endowment carries the names of two music historians of the early modern period with long and distinguished careers at the University of California. William C. Holmes (1928–99), a scholar of 17th-century music who edited and wrote about operas by Cesti and Scarlatti before turning to the works of Verdi, was professor of music at the University of California, Irvine (1968–94). His Opera Observed: Views of a Florentine Impresario in the Early Eighteenth Century was published by the University of Chicago Press in 1993. Music Observed: Studies in Memory of William C. Holmes appeared in 2004 (Detroit Monographs in Musicology / Studies in Music, no. 42; Harmonie Park Press).
Frank A. D’Accone was professor of music at UCLA (1968–94), where he served as chair of the Departments of Music and Musicology. He has published extensively on Renaissance music in Tuscany and has edited and written about Scarlatti’s first opera. His foundational work, including many editions, has documented the lives and works of a number of Florentine composers as well as musical practices of their times. He served as general editor of Corpus mensurabilis musicae (1983–2002) and co-editor of Musica Disciplina (1989–2002). His The Civic Muse: Music and Musicians in Siena During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance was published by the University of Chicago Press in 1997. A Festschrift, Musica Franca: Essays in Honor of Frank A. D’Accone, appeared in 1996 (Pendragon). D’Accone is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he was named Honorary Member of the Society in 2006.
The Endowment was established by Frank D’Accone in memory of Bill Holmes.

The Future of Digital Editions of Music
28–30 March 2023
Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Proposals for 20-minute papers are invited for a conference on the future of the scholarly critical edition in the digital age. The conference will be part of an AHRC-funded network grant, ‘Digital directions for collected editions: keyboard music by British musicians before c.1700’, led by David J. Smith and Frauke Jürgensen.
The main focus for the symposium is to consider what a new infrastructure for collected editions of music might look like in the digital age.

We invite reflections from editors, musicologists, music technologists and computer scientists on their experiences of what has worked well in past digital editing projects and what has not, as well as a vision for the future of music editing in the digital domain. The following is indicative of areas that might be covered, but is not intended in any way to be prescriptive or restrictive:
- Sustainability in terms of data
- Financial sustainability and business models
- Case studies of existing projects
- New editorial methodologies and the role of the editor
- Technologies – the storing, processing, and presentation of musical data / musical notation
- Skillsets needed, now and in the future – technological, musicological, palaeographical
- Intersection between digital editions, Higher Education, and libraries
- Audiences and users of digital music editions
Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be sent by email to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo. by 27 January 2023; notifications concerning acceptance will be sent no later than 10 February.

General Submission Guide:
NIME uses two steps for a submission: Create your submission on PubPub, our multimedia platform for publication and then submit it through CMT, our conference management system. To submit a paper to NIME 2023, follow these steps (an illustrated guide to this process is forthcoming):
-
Create an account on PubPub if you do not have one already.
-
Create a Pub — Click the "Create Paper Submission" button on the PubPub Submissions page. This will be your submitted paper and will eventually be published if accepted by the review process. Save the URL for future reference.
-
Follow this template to create your submission. The easiest way to follow the template is to copy-paste it into your own Pub, where it will be available for quick reference. Of course, you will ultimately delete or replace everything from the template with your own content.
-
Make sure your Pub is anonymous. Find the pencil icon beside your name, click on it, and uncheck the “List on byline” checkbox. Close out of the pop-up window. (Do not click on the “x” button next to your name, this will remove you as a contributor to your own Pub).
-
Download your Pub as a PDF. Find the "Download" button to the right of the title near the top of your Pub.
-
Upload the PDF to the CMT, NIME2023's conference management system.
For submission guide by category please visit the webpage.
Call For Papers
We welcome submissions of original research on scientific and artistic development and use of new interfaces for musical expression.
There are three different paper submission categories:
-
Full paper (up to 5000 words in proceedings, optional demo)
-
Short paper (up to 3000 words in proceedings, recorded-video & poster presentation, optional demo)
-
Demo paper (up to 1500 words in proceedings, recorded-video & demo presentation. The paper should include a link to audio-visual documentation showcasing the technology and/or activity to be demonstrated.)
Word counts include the article’s main text only.
Paper Review Process:
All paper submissions will be subjected to a rigorous double-blind peer review process by an international committee of experts. All of the submitted papers should demonstrate rigorous research methodology and will be evaluated according to the following criteria: novelty, academic quality, appropriateness of topic, importance, readability, ethical standards, and paper organization. Authors should also familiarize themselves with the NIME statements on diversity and environmental issues.
The review process is as follows:
-
Each paper submission will be assigned to at least 3 reviewers for independent evaluation.
-
A meta-reviewer will moderate a discussion amongst the reviewers, write a summary review, and recommend whether to accept the paper.
-
The paper chairs will make the final decision on paper acceptance and will inform the author(s) of their decision along with the reviewers’ comments.
Please note this review process is double-blind, meaning reviewers remain anonymous to the authors and vice-versa. It is expected that authors respect the NIME Ethical guidelines for NIME publications.
Presentation Format:
If the paper is accepted, authors will be asked to either present in person or provide a recorded video of the presentation for online presentation besides the camera-ready paper. All these files will be publicly available online.
Call For Music
NIME 2023 invites submission of proposals that showcase New Interfaces for Musical Expression in performance and composition. We look forward to receiving submissions that expand and reshape our understanding of NIME in the conceptualization, performance, and perception of music.
Typical NIME performance pieces last for 5-15 minutes, however, proposals for shorter or longer performances will also be accepted. Submissions can be for existing works as well as proposals for new ones.We highly welcome submissions from authors from under-represented communities along the lines of race, sex, gender, gender identity, age, ability, socio-economic background or status in and outside of academia.
If a music submission is selected for performance at NIME, proposing artists are expected to be available to perform their work on any day of the conference. The NIME 2023 organization is unable to consider requests for musical performances to happen on specific days.
Music Review Process:
Given the nature of music submissions, we understand that full anonymity may be difficult to achieve without compromising the supporting material. However, contributors should meet these basic criteria of anonymization:
-
Avoid any trace of the authors’ names and affiliations in the written material.
-
Use PubPub’s built-in media uploader to host video, audio or image files.
-
Identity and affiliations of the author(s) should not be mentioned in the title, description or opening/closing credits of the submitted media.
The review process is as follows:
-
Each submission will be assigned to, at least, 3 reviewers for independent evaluation.
-
A meta-reviewer will moderate a discussion amongst the reviewers, write a summary review, and recommend whether to accept or reject the performance.
-
The music chairs will make the final decision on acceptance and will inform the authors of their decision along with the reviewers’ comments.
Presentation Format:
The presentation format will depend on the author’s location and their ability to travel to Mexico. If the author / performer is located outside of Mexico and can not travel to Mexico City, they will be asked to either prepare a prerecorded video or a live stream of their performance, which will be made publicly available. If the author / performer is located in Mexico or is able to travel to Mexico City for the conference dates, an in-person concert at a venue in Mexico City will be scheduled, which will be publicly live streamed and recorded.
Call For Workshops
NIME 2023 welcomes the submission of Workshop Proposals. Workshops may be in any area of NIME themes or topics.
Typical NIME workshops have been half-day or full-day workshops, with some specialized workshops with shorter times (one or two hours).

Those who can visit Mexico City will have the opportunity to present their work in extra panel sessions and engage with the local NIME community.
Call For Art Installations
We invite submissions of art installations on new interfaces for musical expression. NIME 2023 will provide several locations that can be used to exhibit new music installation works. These are foyer location installations or room-based installations in connection to the conference venues. Authors could optionally provide a documentation video of the installation for the online attendees. Submitted proposals will be subject to a peer review process by an international expert committee. Documentation of the installations will be available online after the conference.
If an art installation is selected for exhibition at NIME and the proposing artists cannot attend the conference in person, we invite the artists to provide links and access that attendees can experience online.
Presentation Format:
If the Art Installation is accepted, authors will be asked to provide video documentation of the artwork, which will be made publicly available. If they are able to attend NIME23 in-person, they will be offered the opportunity to exhibit the installation on-site.
STUDENT CONSORTIUM
In 2022 the Doctoral Consortium was established for the first time. This year, the idea is extended to give opportunities to students at graduate and undergraduate level to discuss, perform, or demo their research. We welcome applications from students who would like to receive feedback from the NIME community on their conceptual, theoretical, technical and/or musical research components, and participate to an open discussion among peer students and senior scientists, interaction designers and computer musicians. Ideal candidates will be early-stage or mid-way through their program, presenting some concrete research content within the NIME topics yet with no conclusive achievements already at hand. Candidates should clearly explain their contribution to the Consortium as well as the expected benefit from participating in it.
There are two different categories:
-
PhD students
-
Undergraduates and Graduates students
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Proposals will include the following entries:
proposal sections: title, keywords, research question/s/problem, context/theory, methods, the expected outcomes (what you hope to contribute and get from the Consortium), references/bibliography (not part of the word count) (optional) software, videos, audio recordings, blueprints documenting music interface concepts and physical prototypes, either uploaded along with the main document or hyperlinked from it
a short recommendation letter from the Supervisor, also clarifying the student's year of study, research objectives, method, and activity in the context of the Department/Research Lab where the PhD is done.
Selection Process
The Graduate & undergraduate Consortium committee will review and select a limited number of candidates via a curation process that considers the quality of their work, and its possibilities to contribute to the creation of a multidisciplinary, diverse, balanced and ethical discussion forum furthermore highly profitable for the participants. Duplicated material submitted also to other NIME calls will be immediately rejected from the Graduate & undergraduate Consortium.
At the conference
If accepted, based on your proposal, we will ask you to design a multimedia poster to both contribute to a live consortium discussion and virtual poster at the NIME conference. Each poster can include performances, demo, design, etc. The Student Consortium will run the day before the beginning of the main conference, on May 30th, with the Chairs actively participating in the event. Please note that the final posters won't be published in the NIME proceedings.
SUMMER SCHOOL
This year we are organizing a summer school programme to engage the local community by providing free NIME-oriented courses in Spanish for students from Mexican Universities and local practitioners. Courses may be imparted remotely as long as we can provide facilitators who can assist during the sessions. Likewise, students may join remotely if they cannot travel to Mexico to assist in person. If you wish to participate in the programme as a student or instructor, or just want to know more about the programme in general, please get in touch with Juan Martinez Avila. More details to be announced.
OPEN JACK
This year, we are delighted to bring an Open Jack event to finalize the conference.
We aim to run it in the original format laid out in 2007 as part of the Sonorities Festival Belfast.
Analogue to common "open mic" events at traditional venues, open jack is an open forum for musicians and audiences interested in electronic music. From known personalities to local electronic music enthusiasts, open jack is for all to join, jam, improvise and share music making in real-time.
The idea is simple: Electronic Art Music lives outside academia, open jack is all about the music. No prizes, no awards, no recognition, no building up your CV, no 3 pages program notes explaining why anyone SHOULD like a performance or piece, no bringing your rehearsed stuff, no overthought over-structured compositions, no theories behind. Just live improvisation in a collective environment following the groove of the night.
Rules are straightforward:
• Up to 4 performers on stage at a time.
• First come first plays basis.
• Performers are replaced one by one. Whomever enters the jam must join the music being played at that time.
• Any necessary setup is done by yourself as others are playing. You literally get one input into the mixer and are faded in when you are ready to play
At this stage, we are asking for an expression of interest so that we can arrange interesting combinations of musicians that might not have played together before, whilst keeping it open for local musicians and/or audience members to jump in and join the fun.

Critical Perspectives on Petrosonics (Study Day)
Critical Perspectives on Petrosonics
Royal Musical Association and British Forum for Ethnomusicology Affiliated Study Day
Thursday 11th May 2023, King’s College London and Online
Call for Proposals
The emergence of a broad field of energy humanities in recent years has generated interest in the relationship between energy and society, and in cultural and artistic dimensions of energy exploration and extraction. This includes research on resulting global entanglements and colonial/neo-colonial relationships. There has to date, however, been relatively little work that focuses on the musical and broader sonic implications of energy regimes and infrastructures, and few studies to suggest how sound might contribute to energy humanities more broadly.
This study day aims to open up a space to discuss energy sonics, with a particular focus on oil and other fossil fuels. Topics might include but are not limited to:
• Sounds of fossil fuel exploration and extraction
• Sonics of ‘oil towns’
• Creative practice that engages with sounds produced by fossil fuels, their extraction, refinement and processing etc.
• Sounds of energy company promotional films
• Sounds of colonial/neo-colonial relationships engendered through fossil fuels
• Sounds of decarbonization and environmental justice
• Sounds of social unrest and conflict related to fossil fuels (strikes, revolution, etc.)
• Energetic and political infrastructures of voice and voicing produced by and through fossil fuels (e.g. via Big Oil), and strategies of listening to and against these voices
• Material implications of petro-derived products used in the production and consumption of music (carbon microphones, plastics, etc.)

Piano et pianistes dans le jazz aujourd’hui : panorama, héritages et perspectives
Deux journées d’étude
Piano et pianistes dans le jazz aujourd’hui : panorama, héritages et perspectives
7 et 13 avril 2023, Tours (Département de musicologie), Toulouse (Maison de la recherche)
Les disparitions récentes de McCoy Tyner puis de Chick Corea, l’interruption de carrière de
Keith Jarrett, ou encore le statut de légendes vivantes acquis par Ahmad Jamal ou Herbie
Hancock évoquent un âge d’or bientôt révolu du piano jazz. Notre siècle a vu et voit encore par
ailleurs s’affirmer de nouvelles figures influentes de l’instrument, au premier rang desquelles
celle de Brad Mehldau. D’autres personnalités ou groupes constitués illustrent les différentes
directions prises par le piano dans le jazz – ou par le jazz à travers le piano – depuis le tournant
des années 2000 : Vijay Iyer, Craig Taborn, Matthew Shipp, Sylvie Courvoisier, Bojan Z,
Stefano Bollani, les trios E.S.T., The Bad Plus, etc. Au-delà de ces quelques noms, un grand
nombre de pianistes œuvrent aujourd’hui à prolonger ou revisiter les traditions qui les
précèdent, d’autres partent en quête de voies plus singulières. Sur cette nouvelle génération,
est-il possible d’évaluer l’influence des maîtres du siècle dernier cités plus haut (auxquels il
faudrait ajouter Bill Evans, Cecil Taylor, Martial Solal ou Joachim Kühn) ? A-t-elle intégré
l’apport des maîtres du stride ou de Duke Ellington, l’incontournable empreinte de Thelonious
Monk ou d’autres stylistes du bebop, les alternatives proposées par Lennie Tristano ou Dave
Brubeck ? Si l’on considère la variété des répertoires populaires et savants auxquels est associé
le piano, ou l’étendue de ses transformations possibles (piano préparé, piano augmenté), les
pianistes de jazz ne seraient-ils pas véritablement au cœur du laboratoire de création permanente
qu’est le champ jazzistique ?
Sur la base offerte par ces questionnements, deux journées d’étude sont organisées à Tours et
Toulouse afin de préparer un colloque international prévu pour l’automne 2024 sur les sites des
deux universités.
Parmi les sujets pouvant donner lieu à des propositions de communication :
- Figures dominantes de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle et/ou de la scène contemporaine
- Maîtres·ses et élèves, influences et filiations : quelles généalogies pour le piano jazz ?
- Instruments, traitements gestuels ou sonores, dispositifs
- Le trio de piano, ses modèles, ses répertoires, ses extensions
- Identités, traditions, frontières du piano jazz
- Le piano jazz à la rencontre des musiques savantes, populaires et traditionnelles
- Quand les non-pianistes se mettent au piano (Anthony Braxton, Jack DeJohnette, etc.)
- Piano et pianistes de jazz à l'écran, dans la littérature, au théâtre, etc.

Introducing two one-day conferences
Piano and pianists in jazz today: overview, heritage and research perspectives
The recent deaths of McCoy Tyner and Chick Corea, the interruption of Keith Jarrett's career,
or the status of living legends acquired by Ahmad Jamal or Herbie Hancock evoke a golden age
of jazz piano that will soon be over. Our century has seen and continues to see the emergence
of new influential figures in the instrument, most notably Brad Mehldau. Other personalities or
groups illustrate diverse directions taken by the piano in jazz – or by jazz itself through the
piano – since the turn of the century: Vijay Iyer, Craig Taborn, Matthew Shipp, Sylvie
Courvoisier, Bojan Z, Stefano Bollani, the trios E.S.T., The Bad Plus, etc. Beyond these names,
a great number of pianists are working today to prolong or revisit the traditions that preceded
them, while others are seeking more singular paths. Is it possible to evaluate the influence of
the above-mentioned masters of the last century on this new generation (to which we should
add Bill Evans, Cecil Taylor, Martial Solal or Joachim Kühn)? What about the contribution to
current piano conceptions of the masters of stride or Duke Ellington, what about the
unavoidable imprint of Thelonious Monk or other bebop stylists, or the alternatives proposed
by Lennie Tristano or Dave Brubeck? If we consider the variety of popular and written
repertoires with which the piano is associated, or the extent of its possible transformations
(prepared piano, augmented piano), are jazz pianists not truly at the core of the laboratory of
permanent creation that is the jazz field? On the basis of these questions, two one-day
conferences are organized successively in Tours and Toulouse in order to prepare an
international colloquium planned for the fall of 2024 in both universities.
Topics that may result in paper proposals include:
- Major figures of the second half of the 20th/ first quarter of the 21st century
- Masters and pupils, influences and filiations: what genealogies for jazz piano?
- Instruments, gestural or sound treatments, devices
- The piano trio, its models, its extensions
- Identities, traditions, frontiers of jazz piano playing
- When jazz piano meets art, folk or popular music
- Non-pianists at the piano (Anthony Braxton, Jack DeJohnette, ...)
- Jazz piano and pianists on screen, in literature, theater, ...
Proposals +/- 150 words with short biographical sketch, to be sent before January 15th 2023:

EMSE 2023: Early Modern Sensory Encounters
8-9 June 2023, Kellogg College, University of Oxford
The University of Oxford and the Open University invite papers for our annual interdisciplinary Early Modern Sensory Experiences (EMSE) conference.
Interest in sensory experiences of the past has grown in recent years, with scholars engaging with both interdisciplinary and anthropological approaches in order to better understand historical lived experiences. This annual conference explores the visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory and/or olfactory elements of particular experiences across the globe between c.1400 and c.1700.
This year’s conference, ‘Sensory Encounters’, welcomes papers that consider sensory experiences as instances or reflections of cultural exchange and which discuss possible methodologies and approaches to this particular subject. Papers may engage with the following themes, amongst others:
• Transcultural Sensory Experiences: how sensory experiences were integral to encounters and entanglements, with both productive and destructive results.
• Senses and the City: how sensory experiences were encountered in the city, and how they may have contributed to cities as sites of cosmopolitanism.
• Mobility and Circulation: How the movement of people, objects, practices and their associated sensorial experiences gave rise to the transfer of similar, or the development of new, sensory experiences.
• Subjectivity: How sensory experiences varied according to gender, social class, race or other perceptions of difference.
Papers are invited from scholars working in any discipline, including musicology, art history, cultural and/or social history, religious studies, and book history, on any geographic region between c.1400 and c.1700.
While we understand that scholars may naturally place emphasis on a particular sense or source as a reflection of their own disciplinary background, we encourage speakers to work across senses, sources and disciplines.
Speakers are encouraged to present work in progress and/or address methodological challenges faced in their research.
Please send a 150-word abstract along with a short biography to Leah Clark (Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.) and Helen Coffey (Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.) by 15 January 2023.
The conference will take place at Kellogg College, University of Oxford, on 8-9 June 2023. This will be a face-to-face conference. Speakers should therefore ensure that they can attend in person. Please note that we will not be able to cover travel or accommodation costs for speakers.

Popular Song in Europe in the 1920s
Call for papers : Conference
University of Rouen-Normandie, France, 8-9 June 2023
Organizer : John Mullen
Popular Song in Europe in the 1920s
The 1920s was a key period for popular song. The slow rise of recorded music, and the arrival of radio, brought to the end that era when live performance was at the centre of the music industries. Meanwhile, ongoing urbanization in many countries continually changed the relationship between song, everyday life, fantasy and identity.
In Britain in the 1920s, the urban music hall suffered terribly. The rise of records and then the radio meant that the competition between songs was far stronger, and in general US production was more sophisticated, faster, more modern. Al Jolson, and later Cole Porter, were more impressive than the old-time singers: for the first time in history British popular song was threatened by US domination. The rise of the dance hall did damage too. Younger people wanted to go out and dance, not sit in a theatre singing along. Jazz reinforced the dance halls, while, at the end of the decade musical cinema could provide a more sophisticated song and dance show for a fraction of the price of a music hall evening.
In 1920s France, the tremendous growth of the Parisian spectacle symbolized the "Roaring Twenties". The music hall played a euphoric role. Silent, black and white cinema could not match its sparkle. So the great authors of revues[1] played with opulence, light and color, the unusual and the exotic, in a style derived from operetta and the circus. It was at this time that Parisian performance venues gained lasting notoriety[2]. It was often the stars of the caf'conc from the pre-war period who animated the craziest revues and would become the stars of the talkies at the end of the decade.
In Ireland, the gaining of partial independence in 1922 helped to reinforce a nationalist vision of popular culture, notably through the work of the Gaelic League which worked to encourage traditional song and dance, while in America collectors such as Francis O’Neill worked to preserve and record Irish repertoires.
In Spain, theatres and music halls presented género chico (short theatrical productions with music and dance accompanying), cuplés (short pieces sung by women, with erotic connotations), varietés, and flamenco and jazz spectacles. Jazz had been present since World War One, introduced by artists who were fleeing from the war, but it became popular towards the end of the 20s. The 1920s also brought a paradigm shift in flamenco, since it began to be performed in new venues: theatres, circuses and bullrings. Its newly acquired popularity led flamenco to become the most representative Spanish genre, offering a stereotypical vision of the national music and culture.
In the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (1918-1929), popular music developed and spread rapidly. The reasons for this were the increased importance of women in the cultural sphere as a result of wartime circumstances, as well as the slow emergence of new mass media - film and radio. Popular music was undoubtedly influenced by musical trends and genres from the United States, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and the Soviet Union, but it remained true to itself. The music industry was just getting started. The most well-known early music publishers were Jovan Frajt and Sergej Strahov, Albini and Akord, (3) while Belgrade and Zagreb were the most significant commercial markets for music.
These few countries, given as examples among many, reveal a period where technological change, cultural change and economic and political factors combine to shake up the music industry and popular song.
We invite papers on any aspect of popular song in Europe in the 1920s. A fully comprehensive or truly synthetic account of such an outpouring of work and energy is no doubt unobtainable. Our aim must rather be to tease out some of the regularities of what the songs meant to people, how they were produced and sold, what they reflected or did not reflect of people’s lives.
The conference will be in English
Proposals of 300 words should be sent by 15/01/2023 to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots.

SMT Special Session on Decolonizing New Music in the Post-Soviet space, AMS/SMT Annual Meeting in Denver, 9-12 November 2023
Until recently, studies about Russian composers have dominated music scholarship on the countries of the former Soviet Union. Postcolonial theory can provide a useful framework to expanding research on music repertoire from the former Soviet republics. The SMT Global Interculturalism and Musical Peripheries Interest Group is planning to propose a Special Session on Decolonizing New Music from the Post-Soviet space, to be held at the SMT/AMS Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado, on November 9-12, 2023.
We invite proposals for 20-minute presentations that discuss music from the former Soviet Union, composed from the beginning of the 20th century to present. Preference will be given to proposals that engage with postcolonial studies, or in any way address decoloniality, neocolonialism, or anti-colonialism in relation to music of this region.
Please submit an initial 250-word proposal to the IG co-chair Ji Yeon Lee at jlee136 -at- uh.edu before January 3, 2023, 11:59 EST. The authors of accepted proposals will be asked to submit a 500-word abstract later in January, in order to meet the SMT proposal deadline of February 15.

Special Issue of Computer Music Journal on Musical Interactivity in Human-AI and AI-AI Partnerships
Call for Submissions for the Special Issue of Computer Music Journal on Musical Interactivity in Human-AI and AI-AI Partnerships
http://computermusicjournal.
Guest Editors:
Ken Déguernel (lead), postdoctoral researcher in music and AI, KTH (Sweden) + Research fellow in Computer Science at CNRS (France) (starting Jan 2023)
Bob L. T. Sturm, Associate Professor of Computer Science, KTH (Sweden)
Artemi-Maria Gioti, Research Fellow in Music and AI, UCL (UK) & Lecturer in New Media and Digital Technologies for Music, University of Music Dresden (Germany)
Georgina Born, Professor of Anthropology abd Music, Department of Anthropology & Institute of Advanced Studies, University College, London (UK)
Deadline:
- Submission deadline: 31 December 2022
- Initial online publication of articles: Mid 2023 (individually, soon after each is accepted, with subsequent updates incorporating the Journal's editing and formatting)
- Expected publication of issue: December 2023
Focus: Musical Interactivity in Human-AI and AI-AI Partnerships
There are currently a number of special journal issues (published or seeking contributions) centered on the topic of music and artificial intelligence (AI), showing an ever-growing interest in that field. For instance:
- AI for music (F1000Research Collection)
- Deep Learning applied to Music Signal Processing (EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing)
- Advances in Computer Music (Applied Sciences)
- AI, Augmentation and Art (Journal of Pervasive Media)
- AI and Musical Creativity (Transactions of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval).
We are proposing yet another special issue, but focused on human-AI and AI-AI interactions and partnerships within musical contexts. It aims to cover a broad range of topics, from music generation to performance, music analysis, and technological ethics, and to bring together state-of-the-art research from the engineering sciences with emerging artistic practices and critical perspectives from the humanities, in order to bridge the technical, aesthetic and theoretical underpinnings of music AI. Accepted articles of this special issue will address how humans can/could/should interact with and use AI, and how these interactions shape and impact creative and artistic musical practices (and vice versa).
Of particular interest are: how interactions with AI can help one understand, inform, evaluate, and/or model creative processes (e.g., performance, composition, improvisation, audience appreciation, and music recommendation); the unique challenges that arise from human-AI and AI-AI interactions; ethical implications of applying AI to music in regards to different practices, different genres, and different target audiences; critical perspectives from the humanities and social sciences on the methods, contexts, and purposes underpinning uses of AI; novel applications and methods of interactions with AI in music, from creative-support tools to multi-agent systems, leading to new human-AI or AI-AI co-creative partnerships for all kinds of musicking: music generation, performance, rehearsal, production, listening, and so on; and also beyond that, for applications such as music analysis or music criticism by AI regarding learned or discovered aesthetic criteria.
In summary, we invite original submissions that address, but are in no way limited to, the following topics:
- Interfaces for human-AI and AI-AI interactions
- Multimodal interaction
- Understanding and modeling of creative music processes through AI partnership
- Musical authorship, labor, and agency in human-AI music-making
- Music analysis and criticism by computers
- Unique challenges relating to the interaction with and in between AIs for music
- Relationship between artistic practices and AI
- Ethics of applying AI to music
- Explainability and transparency in music AI
- Critical approaches to music AI.

Manuscripts should follow the guidelines of Computer Music Journal (https://direct.mit.edu/comj/

Epistemologies of Music Analysis: What Theories, what Methods, for what Types of Music, and in what Disciplinary and Cultural Contexts?
Epistemologies of Music Analysis: What Theories, what Methods, for what Types of Music, and in what Disciplinary and Cultural Contexts?
Paris, 29.-31.03.2022
Deadline: 31.12.2022
The globalisation of culture has led to an unparalleled interaction between people, ideas and cultural production, including, of course, music. Such interconnectedness, enabled by digital technologies, has made us more aware of the broad range of music past and present around the world. In particular, it has forced music analysis — and musicology more generally — to open up to this diversity in order to understand it both from the inside and in relation to its socio-cultural, intellectual and historical environment.
However, such an endeavour creates a dilemma for analysis: either we design and develop universal methods, tools and concepts that risk glossing over the particularised contexts and issues relating to specific types of music, or we develop local approaches to address specific and contextual concerns that could hinder a broader understanding of the inter-relationship of repertoires and themes precisely at a time when musicology is becoming increasingly interconnected.
The aim of this conference is to identify possible ways out of this dilemma. By looking at music in terms of both its diversity and unity, and by drawing on a wide range of analytical theories, methods, discourses and practices according to disciplinary and cultural contexts, our hope is to find analytical approaches that combine the global and the local within a shared and unified intellectual framework.
Analysis vis-à-vis Traces, Data and Musical Repertoires
Although the way we conceive of music and its transmission often focuses on the dichotomy between written and oral traditions, it is important to put this distinction into perspective. Rather than being polar opposites, orality and notation should be considered as a continuum that includes music composed on paper and then performed (two-stage art), music that is pre-composed and recorded, unwritten music that is then transcribed, and music that is created at the moment of performance (one-stage art) (Goodman 1976, 113–114; Genette 1994, 23–24, 86–88). To this question, we can add the problem of choosing the appropriate analytical method to apply to a given corpus and deciding how this method ought to be conveyed, especially in the computer age. Digital musicology has transformed our access to musical sources by making available vast collections of sound-related content (CNRS-Musée de l'Homme Sound Archives, Europeana Sounds, etc.) and scores (the Josquin Research Project, Neuma, etc.). Yet both approaches to the representation of music are organised according to fundamentally different semiotic regimes and thus pose contrary dilemmas for analysis. Written data contains categories (those of notation) that allow music to be examined independently of time, whilst placing limits on the analysis (Meeùs 2019); although the study of sound data is free of these constraints, it faces the challenge of segmenting the sound continuum into analytically discrete relationships. In both cases, appropriate choices need to be made concerning the features to be annotated and the concepts to be deployed.
- Is it possible to analyse performed and recorded music without reference to its sonic dimension? Conversely, can we analyse such output without referring to a graphic representation that doubles as a transcription?
- Can we define "low-level" musicological descriptors, applicable to disparate musical data and, if so, what is the relevance of these descriptors for studying individual repertoires or pieces?
- What are the possible strategies for reconciling “situated” categories, associated with particular repertoires, issues, and practices; and general categories, which lend themselves to the comparison of repertoires and to collaborative study?
Analysis and Theories
Analysis is always based on a theory, whether it be explicit or implicit, conscious or unconscious. Thus theory must always precede analysis, given that theory is the bedrock upon which analysis is grounded. That said, analysis can be no more inductive than theory can be: neither is purely deducible from the mere observation of facts. Every theory necessarily starts from some hypothesis or axiom: it begins as a hypothetical proposition based on abductive reasoning, just as an analysis is based indirectly on a similar abductive process grounded in hypothesis.
Unlike “normal” science, which largely consists of “puzzle solving”, the humanities and social sciences are supposed to be part of a “tradition of claims, counter-claims, and debates over fundamentals” (Kuhn 1970, p. 6). But analytical activity is not inherently divorced from the solving of puzzles based on models, restrictions or rules. The symbolic aspect of music — like any object of study in the humanities and social sciences — nevertheless involves a greater variety of interpretative perspectives, which impacts the theories and calls for a critical discussion of tools in order to achieve the required transparency and intelligibility of scientific demonstration (Weber 1904, p. 31).
Music theory is not just a propaedeutic subject in the training of performers, teachers and musicologists; it also refers to a set of statements — ancient or modern, Western or Eastern — that aim to describe music in terms of its perceived essence and forms. Given that any musical conceptualisation depends on assumptions that reflect particular cultural, intellectual, geographical, historical and linguistic ecologies, the challenge is not to make these statements converge, at the risk of levelling them and hollowing them out, but to formulate them.
- Does music theory constitute a pedagogical field, a systematic and technical approach to music, or is it a set of abstractions that fall within a particular intellectual and historical framework?
- What are the specific features of individual theoretical discourses (i.e. intentions, audiences, the size and scope of production and status within a more general body of knowledge, etc.) and what are the links between them in terms of their relationship to music, their history and their concepts?
- What potential challenges, issues and strategies would be involved in the development of a truly global and cosmopolitan music theory?
Analysis, its Methods and Discourses
Analysis involves the application of models and abstractions that are the result of theoretical assumptions about the organisation of music and its relationship with the world. Questioning the ideological functioning of music analysis is not limited to identifying philosophical preconceptions, but also leads to a reflection on the objects, types of statements, concepts, language, and theoretical foundations that underpin this activity. Thus, it is possible to question the conditions that structure the theoretical models and the analytical results that are produced. Music analysis has also focused on the type of discourse to be carried out on the work. Such an enquiry often takes the form of structural semiotics, leading to a discretisation (and segmentation) of the work. However, there is another approach that emphasises the transformational process and seeks to understand the work not as a collection of interconnected objects, but as the (hierarchical) result of a series of transformative operations. This section examines the idea of analysis itself as a particular approach to the universal phenomenon we call music.
- Where do analytical activities and the models that underpin them stand in relation to discursive practice, knowledge, and science?
- What are the (scientific) assumptions of differing analytical approaches?
- What are the truth conditions of the theoretical models and the analytical results that they produce? To what extent are these truth conditions overtly identified and addressed by the analyst employing a given method?
- When and under what conditions can collaborative, open, and evolving analysis take place?
Analysis and Musicology
Although the notable ascent in the status of music analysis over the course of the twentieth century had little impact on the edifice of German systematische and historische Musikwissenschaft (Adler 1885), it was an important factor in the transformation of musicology in the French-speaking world. Drawing on semiology and linguistics, analysis has had a lasting impact on the discipline in French-speaking countries and has spurred the development of digital musicology since the early 1990s (Guillotel-Nothmann 2020, 48). In the United States, music theory has led to highly formalised approaches which are largely dissociated from (historical) musicology. This separation has been criticised by New Musicology, which focuses on areas such as deconstruction, gender studies, and cultural studies, but does not provide the basis for building an intellectual framework that would link analysis with these fields (Agawu 2004, 268–270 and 279–280). The aim of a more generalised musicological programme, as formulated by Molino (1975) and Nattiez (1987, 2007, 2010), would be to remedy this situation by applying a tripartite analytic semiology as a framework for the establishment of a “discipline that is at once systematic, historical and anthropological, capable of integrating music and its context, the variables and constants of its evolution” (Molino 1990). However, this programme leaves open many questions concerning the construction of the object of study (Delalande 2019); the application of principles, models, and methods that are identical to all music; and, finally, the usefulness of an approach that focuses on general, or even universal features in order to uncover the specific workings of individual repertoires.
- Do semiotic, aesthetic, historical, sociocultural, pedagogical or historiographic implications make analysis and theory dependent on these related disciplines?
- How can experiences from various repertoires, issues, and needs contribute to the development of a general musicology?
Analysis According to Cultures
The coexistence of multiple discourses on a variety of musical systems from a wide range of cultural and historical contexts implies that analysts and theorists alike are faced with the challenge of engaging with different systems of representation without being able to fully free themselves from the shackles of their own analytical and cultural biases.
The end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century have seen the emergence of inclusive and cross-disciplinary theoretical and analytical approaches that have forged tools and produced analytical discourses based on both local and global knowledge: for example, the convergence of modal grammars between mediaeval and oriental musicology and the development of a resolutely analytical ethnomusicology (Picard 2007, Labussière 2007, Abou Mrad 2016, Wright 2016). This has enabled links to be established with analytical musicological approaches developed in Tunisia, Lebanon, Iran, India, China, and elsewhere that draw on regional theoretical traditions dating back more than a thousand years.
This section aims to identify the status of analysis and theory in different cultural and historical contexts so as to identify disciplinary paradigms that lend themselves to intersectional approaches.
- How can the consideration of local theories evolve towards an approach that transcends the ideology of difference and the opposition between local and global knowledge?
- Who is to be the judge in validating interpretations of theoretical systems from different cultures?
- Can the analytical traditions of different cultures be formulated within a coherent disciplinary whole?

Colloque international "Réinventer la scène. Innovation, création, diffusion"
Chères et chers collègues,
The International Conference on Live Coding (ICLC) is dedicated to practices and research focused on technologies and philosophies that interpret the use of computer code as gesture within the context of live performances. In its previous editions the community has offered important insights on this practice from many diverse perspectives – technical, philosophical, educational, political and more.
This 7th edition of ICLC takes place in Utrecht, The Netherlands from April 19 to April 23 2023, and we wish to challenge our community to bridge even further to its multidisciplinary strengths. We are pleased to invite submissions of proposed contributions in the form of theoretical works, live and live-recorded audio/visual performances, videos, workshops and satellite events. This call is open to everyone. We encourage submissions that cover any topic related to live coding, but in particular we invite the exploration of the following overarching main theme:
DISPLACEMENT
(Wikipedia: Displacement (linguistics), the ability of humans (and possibly some animals) to communicate ideas that are remote in time and/or space. Forced displacement, by persecution or violence. Displacement (psychology), a sub-conscious defense mechanism.)
The last few years, and probably also the years that will follow, show us how easily physical spaces we once considered safe and secure can become increasingly hostile environments due to new strains of pathogens, climate change or aggression. At the same time, we are confronted with new technologies for automated creation that might drastically change the value of the digital artisan's craft.
We invite you to reflect on the roles and opportunities that live coding practices, techniques and communities can play in these times of displacement – but equally to be inspired by other uses of the term, e.g. rhythmic displacement in music, displacement shaders, displacement in terms of physics, linguistics or psychology or generally being out-of-place, in many places at the same time or in representation instead of in situ.
Please find more details about the call topics, important dates, and submission instructions at https://iclc.toplap.org/
**CALL DEADLINE is DEC. 15, 2022 at 23:59 UTC**
ICLC 2023 is organized by OnTheFly Collective, a group of 5 localized live coding communities working to increase communication and visibility of live coding practices across Europe through international collaborations.

Musiques des westerns
The submitted propositions will deal with alternative musico-filmic codes of the classical
western by focusing on the following issues:
- How are the main musical figures of the genre (pastoral, military, heroic topics, etc.) adapted,
reconducted or recreated from the American matrix model?
- What is the place of sound, sound design and silence in the alternative models?
- What kind of pre-existing music is associated with European westerns?
- Is there an equivalent of the Hollywood singing cowboy in the Euro-western ?
- What musical trends can be discerned in the contemporary Western?
- How do music and sound treatment contribute to the emergence of sub-genres of the western
(noir, horrific, intimist, futuristic, political, fantasy, etc.) ?
