Hi All
The Townshend Studio at the University of West London is the home of Pete Townshend’s incredible collection of electronic musical instruments<https://campuspress.uwl.ac.uk/townshendstudio/>. The studio is opening this April with some official launch events in the autumn. One of those events is a conference in September focused on what we can learn from this amazing collection, and from historical commercial electronic musical instruments in general, about contemporary music making and music technology design. You can find the conference Call for Papers and information about how to apply for access to the instruments at C21MP.org<http://www.c21mp.org/events/commercial-electronic-musical-instruments-in-21st-century-music-practice/> in the Events section of that website. There are eight themes to the conference and you can submit a proposal for a presentation that relates to instruments we have in the collection or those we haven’t. You can incorporate one of the instruments into the presentation if you want to as well be in the Townshend Studio itself. All the details are in the Call For papers or you can email me on [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
I will also be posting some videos on the C21MP social media, in the run up to the conference deadline on 28th April, that provides some extra context on the conference themes and details about the collection:
