Dear All,
A full audio record of 'Making Sound Objects', the British Forum for Ethnomusicology's 2012 Annual One Day Conference, is now available to listen to via SoundCloud. The conference, convened by Dr Noel Lobley and hosted at the Pitt Rivers Museum on November 24th 2012, attracted over 100 participants, with as many again unable to attend due to space limitations. The interdisciplinary conference was designed to expand conversations between ethnomusicology, sound studies and sound curation. The content was very diverse, ranging from the practical role of music and archives in Cambodia to the use of reel to reel recording during the Vietnam conflict, and from synaesthetic responses to decayed shellac recordings to the creation of sonic time capsules for future listeners. The conference was then rounded off beautifully by the wonderful David Toop and Max Eastley in conversation, before we all headed into the galleries of the Pitt Rivers Museum for wine and hidden and buried sounds from Robin Alderton, David Toop, Max Eastley and others.
