Electroacoustic Music Beyond Concert Performance
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE EMS14
10 - 14 June 2014 | Berlin | Germany
Deadline for proposals is 3 January 2014.
The concert work is still considered to be the epitome of
electroacoustic music. During a work's performance the relationships
between composition and audience in time and space are defined as
homogeneous - just as in the Aristotelian drama. However, since the
1960s, specific forms of electroacoustic music that challenge the
possibility (or conception) of an absolute and exclusive reception have
gained substantially in importance. This development resulted in concert
forms of extended duration, as well as sound art and music in the media
offering the listener opportunities to arrange the perceived sounds in
new individual arrangements or to explore the aural space of one piece
in various ways. The aesthetical positions and the practical
consequences for electroacoustic music that have emerged from these
specific environments shall be considered at EMS14 conference.
This EMS conference aims to discuss a number of relevant questions
concerning electroacoustic music beyond concert performance among
musicologists, composers and sound artists. Musicological studies in
this field still lack consistent, rigorous research. Therefore, we
explicitly invite papers that focus on aesthetics, history, analysis and
practical issues of electroacoustic music of Extended Duration, as Sound
Art/Sound Installation, as Media Music, as Conceptual Music, as
Participatory Music, in the context of Happenings or extended Concert
Forms.
The conference is also open to other topics relevant to histories
and/or contemporary practices of electroacoustic music. Submission of
papers relating to any aspect of the field would be appreciated as well,
including, but not limited, to: analysis, perception, listening,
terminology, composition, performance, cultural issues and education
(cf. detailed call atwww.ems-network.org/ems14/).
The conference is hosted by Universität der Künste Berlin,
Masterstudiengang Sound Studies in cooperation with Technische
Universität Berlin, Fachgebiet Audiokommunikation and Freie Universität
Berlin.
Submissions
The deadline for receipt of proposals of papers is Friday, 3 January
2014 midnight EST. The duration of a paper presentation should be 20
minutes followed by a question period of 5 minutes. Conference languages
are English and French.
Submissions can be made by uploading a zipped folder and providing the
download link, or by direct email to:ems2014.berlin[at]gmail.com
A submission should consist of one pdf-document and the same as word-,
odt-, or rtf-document in English with the following parts:
1. the paper abstract in English (500 up to 1,000 words), headed with
author name(s) and title (if any), organisation affiliation (if any),
