Experiments in Music Research:
Reassessing Pierre Schaeffer's Contributions to Music and Sound Studies
Sponsored by the Institute of Musical Research, Royal Holloway, University of London
10:00-18:00, 9 December 2016
Bramall Music Building, University of Birmingham
This one-day conference brings together new critical readings of Pierre Schaeffer's work on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his major theoretical work, the Traité des objets musicaux. While previous Schaeffer scholarship has largely maintained a prescriptive focus on the composition and reception of musique concrète, this meeting will seek to amplify the conversation around Schaeffer's interactions with other media and disciplines. Its goals are to reexamine the position of Schaeffer’s theory in the history of musicology and sound studies, the ways it might inform contemporary studies of listening and auditory culture, and its resonances with musics outside of the acousmatic tradition.
Invited speakers include John Dack (Middlesex University), Évelyne Gayou (INA-GRM), Luke Windsor (University of Leeds), and Martin Kaltenecker (Université Paris 7).
