[ecrea] CFP Symposium on 21st Century Music Practices: Sound and Vision

CFP for a one-day London-based symposium: 21st Century Music Practices: 
Sound and Vision

*Date*: 20 April 2017
*Place*: Edric Hall, 103 Borough Road, London South Bank University
*Proposal deadline: 21 March 2017
*
This call seeks 150-word abstract submissions for a one-day symposium, 
on the dynamic connection between sound and vision in the context of 
21st century music practices. We are inviting musicians, researchers, 
thinkers and talkers to take part in debate on the multiple dynamics of 
sound and the visual in a range of twenty-first century music practices, 
from performance and sound tracking to interactive music technologies. 
Hereby, we wish to investigate not only the dynamics between music and 
spectacle, in terms of characterisation and narrative development, but 
also in terms of creation and interaction, bringing new questions 
regarding the relationships between sound and vision in music practices.

Intersecting themes that the symposium seeks to explore include:
• Music performance, and the spectacle of music performance, including 
musical theatre. In which ways do music venues and dance spaces utilise 
visual elements to enhance the musical experience? How does mediated 
performance, such as music video or the music biopic, impact on the 
experience and understanding of music performance?
• Music and sound design. How are the dramatic, cultural and emotional 
dimensions musically achieved in contemporary visual media settings, 
including games and internet devices?
• Visual music interfaces, employed in the creation, manipulation and 
playback of recorded music, such as sequencer software and DAWs, musical 
games and mobile apps. How does the design of the visual elements of 
these interfaces affect contemporary music practices?

Please send your proposal abstract by Tuesday 21 March to:
Rob Toulson (R.Toulson /at/ westminster.ac.uk)
Prof Hillegonda C Rietveld (rietvehc /at/ lsbu.ac.uk)

Accepted submissions will be invited to give 15-minute presentations as 
part of a panel to stimulate debate at the Sound and Vision Symposium at 
London South Bank University on 20 April 2017.

This event is made possible by the 21st Century Music Practices Research 
Network, with:
• Sonic Culture Research Group, Creative and Digital Economy Institute, 
and School of Arts and Creative Industries, London South Bank University
• London College of Music, University of West London
• Westminster School of Media, Arts and Design, University of Westminster
