CALL FOR PAPERS: REMINDER
Deadline for abstracts this Friday (6th December)
RMA Study Day
Music and Mathematics
http://www.rma.ac.uk/conferences/event.asp?id=637
Saturday 12th April 2014 at the University of Leeds
Keynote speaker: Alan Marsden
From the fundamental mathematics of sound to a wide variety of
high-level theoretical and compositional systems, mathematics has
frequently shown itself to be a compelling, fruitful, and provocative
discipline from which to approach the study of music. This one-day
conference aims to bring together scholars whose work takes
inspiration from both fields and present a snapshot of the different
ways that the affinities between music and mathematics are being
explored today.
Proposals are invited for papers of 20 minutes, lecture recitals of
c.30 minutes, and themed sessions/panels/roundtables of up to 90
minutes that address, in any way, the broad theme of music and
mathematics. Possible topics include:
o Mathematical music theory and analysis
o Compositional uses of mathematics
o Composers whose creative processes might have involved
mathematics and/or number
o Present-day and historical mathematical perspectives on tuning
o Philosophical and historical perspectives on the relationship
between music and mathematics
o Methodological issues in translating between mathematics and music
o Quantitative studies of musical scores and performances
Abstracts of up to 250 words (750 words for themed sessions), with
titles, should be sent to Daniel Holden ([log in to unmask]) no
later than Friday 6th December 2013. Please also include a cover
sheet detailing your name, institutional affiliation (if any), email
address, AV requirements, and any other special requests.
