*Call for Proposals*

The editorial team of /Riffs: Experimental Writing on Popular Music 
/invite 300 word proposals for the next 2017 volume from PhD, MA and 
outstanding BA students.

A song can be about anything

About peace or war, or the sins of industry

Or the discontents of fame, or of obscurity

Or how we first met, on the warmest day

And how I hadn't planned to love someone until you came

Or how we survived on happiness and sleeping on the floor

Or how you used to love me but you don't even know me anymore

- Dan Wilson, ‘A Song Can Be About Anything' from /Love Without Fear/

Your response should speak in some way to the lyrics above and be 
specific to your particular research area and interest. As the journal 
title suggests, we are interested in pieces that take an experimental 
approach to the consideration of popular music. For examples of pieces 
based on previous prompts, please visit our journal website- 
http://riffsjournal.org <http://riffsjournal.org/>


Eight (experimental) written contributions and two photo essays will be 
published in print, but we encourage audio, visual, and additional 
written contributions (from musical performances to poetry), to be 
included within the journal website.

Deadline for 300-word proposals- *18**^th ** April 2017*

of qualification/
