*Changing Mediations of Music, Audio and Sound: New Systems Across the 
World*

**

Audio streaming, social media and short video platforms are transforming 
the systems by which sound media are configured internationally. 
Platformisation, datafication and automated recommendation have been 
central to such transformations, and now generative AI is bringing about 
further changes. These developments have generated great controversy, 
for example concerning effects on musicians, on local music production, 
and on the way that music is experienced in everyday life. These changes 
also have significant implications, via the rise of podcasting and other 
related developments, for the fate of radio, even if radio remains 
resilient in many territories. Arguably such transformations require a 
major rethinking of the politics of sound in everyday life.

This symposium brings together scholars engaged in high-quality research 
on these and related topics from across the world. The symposium is 
organised by the _MUSICSTREAM <https://musicstreamproject.com/>_ project 
team at the University of Leeds (David Hesmondhalgh, D. Bondy Valdovinos 
Kaye, Raquel Campos Valverde and Zhongwei Li), in conjunction with 
colleagues from the University of Denver (Carlos Jimenez and Runchao Liu).

Speakers are (in no particular order): Thomas Hodgson, Rodrigo Gómez, 
Vanessa Valiati, Ignacio Siles, David Hesmondhalgh, Shuwen (Stella) Qu, 
Peng Will Wu, Cemal Ataş, Laura Jordán González, Sumanth Gopinath, 
Thomas Michel, Darci Sprengel, Jana Costas, Zhongwei (Mabu) Li, Laura 
Glitsos, Mattia Zanotti, Francis Galang, Raquel Campos Valverde & D. 
Bondy Valdovinos Kaye.

Some contributions to the symposium will draw on chapters in a 
collection, /Music Streaming Around the World/, edited by David 
Hesmondhalgh, to be published by University of California Press in 
October 2025. The symposium is organised by the _MUSICSTREAM 
<https://musicstreamproject.com/>_ project team at the University of 
Leeds (David Hesmondhalgh, D. Bondy Valdovinos Kaye, Raquel Campos 
Valverde and Zhongwei Li), and colleagues from the University of Denver 
(Carlos Jimenez and Runchao Liu).

While not an official pre-conference of the ICA, the symposium has been 
scheduled in such a way to allow those who have registered to attend the 
ICA conference to make their way to the conference in time for the 
opening plenary and reception.
