[ecrea] CFP NECS 2015 conference: Sounding Out the Archive

**CFP pre-constituted panel(s) for NECS 2015 conference: Sounding Out 
the Archive***

The NECS Sound and Music in Media Work Group is organising to submit one 
or more preconstituted panel proposals to the forthcoming NECS 
conference (Łódź, Poland 18-20 June 2015), taking a sound-focused 
approach to the conference's Archives of/for the Future theme (see 
http://necs.org 
<http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnecs.org%2F&h=YAQH1MXTd&enc=AZOpbbAieaPoHIeGxYwdN0AHHxk4RJhrYjBt99OM-VtQcGLf-of1xDBfnErzVYGD8LZq_jbsadn-d9wetq_nM3kHaKf7epNGQeYnMSgP4-Ezwb94h_McV6VkAHMqzstsQT7-nuxOF0WH6E6biIX_a94K&s=1>). 
A preconstituted panel potentially allows for a more cohesive 
exploration of sound in this context, and we would encourage a broad 
range of responses to the theme.

Proposals are welcome for 15-20 minute papers on the subject of 
archives, sound/music and time-based media (including radio, television, 
new media, game studies). Possible topics could include, but are not 
limited to:

- creative and artistic use of archival sound and music
- found sound, found music
- sound and media convergence
- sound and nostalgia
- record collecting
- sound media obsolescence
- sound, music and digitization
- remixing and mash-ups
- future histories of sound

Please send abstracts of up to 150 words, plus 3-5 key bibliographical 
references, along with your name and institutional affiliation, to Dr 
Nessa Johnston ((n.johnston /at/ gsa.ac.uk) <mailto:(n.johnston /at/ gsa.ac.uk)>) by 
Monday the 5th of January 2015. We will be in touch by Thursday the 8th 
of January with a decision (The general submission deadline is the 31st 
of January).

Best wishes,

Dr Nessa Johnston, Glasgow School of Art
