•Sound Poetry

•Radio art (or Hörspiel)

•Spoken/Written Language in the construction of new music/performance/creative work

Please send your proposals by email to Alistair Zaldua: [log in to unmask]
Deadline for proposals: Friday, 09 March 2018 Notification of successful presentations can be expected in late March 2018.
In your proposal please clearly indicate all of the presenters, including any performers if you do not intend to perform your own work. Unfortunately, the study group is not able to provide any financial assistance to attend the conference, or to support the creation or performance of works at the conference.
All presenters and performers will be required to register and pay the conference fee. At present we are working to keep this as low as possible, and we do not anticipate it being higher than £50, with a discount for students, unaffiliated ECRs, and RMA members.
The keynote talk will be given by Professor Cornlius Schwehr (Freiburg Musikhochschule). Professor Schwehr teaches composition at Freiburg Musikhochschule and has had his work performed in the major festivals for contemporary music in Germany and internationally.
