*Call for Papers*
*What does it mean to make and perform music in the home?* /
/

/Home, Work and Music/explores issues and debates centredaround music in domestic spaces. It will showcasecurrent research on the empirical, methodologicaland theoretical implications of centring the domestic in music research.

Domestic spaces are regularly overlooked in scholarly, sectoral and policy discourses, but their significance as entangle sites of music creation and performance, and the issues raised by their visibility are striking and urgent.From basementsto bedrooms, domestic settings are key nodal points where personal lives, global digital infrastructures and creativenetworks meet. Scrutiny of the lived realities of these digitally porous sites affords critical insights into technologicalmediations of musicians’creative labour in the home. 

The conference aimsto illuminate practices of music production as bound to lived domestic sites against a backdrop of wholesale changes to music associated with digitalisation, entrepreneurialism and self-marketisation.We encourage submissions that investigate the home as the location for individual and collective music productionat a moment when the boundaries of the public and private are eroding and the pressures on musicians as creative workers are intensifying as a result oflonger-term patterns of participation, exclusion and “flexibilisation”.

We welcome critical explorations from various disciplines of the experiences of musicians that consider the following *topics*:

- Live music performance from/in the home
- Music and domestic material spaces: bedrooms, garages, bathrooms, sheds, basements
- Housing provision, welfare and the creative process
-Gendered and racialized inequalitiesin making time and space for music
- New and innovative methodologies in domestic music making
- Stylistic and genre developments, such as bedroom pop
- The politics of music and domesticity: resistance, safetyand inequalities
- Domestic technologies, bodies and musicking
- Digitalisation, networkingand collective music making
- Covid-19, the live sector and domestic performance
- Neoliberal self-marketisation and the creative autonomy of musicians

We would particularly welcome contributions that highlight power relations with respect to gender, class,
sexuality, disabilityand race/ethnicity.

We are currently putting together a *special issue *proposal on “Music Practices in Domestic Spaces” (guest editors Rosa Reitsamer, Emília Barna, Ingrid Tolstad, Paul Harkinsand Nick Prior) that will be linked
