[ecrea] CFP: Ludomusicology Conference 2013

Call for Papers: Ludomusicology Conference 2013

12–13 April 2013, University of Liverpool Challenges and Innovations 
http://www.ludomusicology.org



The Ludomusicology research group will be hosting a two day conference 
on video game audio to take place on the 12th and 13th of April, 2013 at 
Liverpool University. Building upon the foundation of last year’s 
successful RMA Study Day, the conference will include research papers 
and discussion workshops.



We are seeking proposals for papers on the topic of video game music and 
sound. Papers may contain interdisciplinary import of any type. Paper 
proposals are welcome from both academics and those working in the video 
game industry.



While we welcome all proposals, we are particularly interested in papers 
that support the theme of this year’s conference: ‘challenges and 
innovations’. We have chosen this theme to seek to investigate the 
challenges that face both game audio practitioners and analysts, and the 
innovations of technology and scholarship that seek to deal with these 
challenges. Possible paper topics on this theme include:



• Methods of analyzing game music and sound • New musical technologies 
in games • Ludomusicology and its relationship with wider culture • The 
challenges of composing for games • New trends in game music • Game 
music in wider culture • Video game music histories • Music vs./with/as 
sound effect(s) in the video game



A keynote address will be given by Mark Grimshaw (Aalborg University), 
with other speakers to be confirmed. A session with industry 
professionals will also take place.

Papers should be a maximum of 20 minutes in length, with 10 minutes 
allowed for discussion. Shorter papers will also be considered for 
inclusion. Proposals should be no more than 250 words in length and sent 
as an attachment to (ludomusicology /at/ gmail.com).



DEADLINE FOR PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: 13 JANUARY 2013.
