Final call for papers
Coventry University
International Symposium on Experimental Music
Saturday and Sunday 25 and 26 September 2010
Guest speakers:
Dr Tim Lawrence (University of East London)
Pluralism, minor deviations and radical change: experimental music in
downtown New York, 1971-85
Professor Simon Emmerson (De Montfort University)
Experimental: how helpful is the scientific metaphor in new music?
The symposium is designed as a platform to share graduate, doctoral and
post-doctoral research into experimental music in its broadest sense.
Papers are invited from researchers into all styles of experimental music
including electronic, electro-acoustic, free jazz, progressive rock, free
improvisation etc. To encourage practice-as-research, there will be a
concert of research-related items in the Saturday evening, so
contributions to this are also invited.
If you offer a paper, please provide an abstract (approximately 100 words)
of your proposed paper (see attached form). Papers should be approximately
20 minutes in length. Each 30-minute slot allows 10 minutes for questions
and discussion.
If you offer a concert item, please provide a title, instrument/voice and
composer details for the work/s to be performed, and a statement of
approximately 50 words describing how the performance relates to your
research (see attached form). Concert items should be no more than 5-10
minutes in length. Please note that there is only limited time available
for such items.
If you wish to attend the symposium but not as either presenter or
performer, then please email your contact details and indicate if you
intend to be present for the whole event or just one of the days,
specifying which. Attendance is free but a charge will be made for food.
Researchers interested in presenting are welcome to offer a paper, a
concert item or both. For presenters, lunch and other refreshments will be
free and a donation will be made towards travel costs. For more
information about the Symposium, please e-mail the event organiser.
To submit an offer to present an item at the Symposium, please complete
the attached proposal form and e-mail it to the event organiser, Andrew
Middleton, on
[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>before August 20 at
the latest.
Indicative timings are: 11.00–20.30 (Saturday); 10.00–15.00 (Sunday).
These are subject to change.
The symposium will also coincide with the launch of Coventry University’s
