Dear colleagues,
Here is some information about upcoming events and a submission deadline for the Sound, Voice, and Music TaPRA working group.
April 3: Interim event at Oxford
April 8: submission deadline for the annual conference call for papers
We will host an interim event at the University of Oxford on April 3 in the Denis Arnold Hall, Faculty of Music, from 11:30 to 4:30. The central theme of this event will be ‘acoustic materiality and immateriality’. ‘Acoustic materiality’ refers to the physical activities and objects involved in sound-making. ‘Acoustic immateriality’ refers to ideas about sound, voice, and music, i.e., their existence as abstractions. What is the relationship between acoustic materiality and immateriality? The word ‘immateriality’ can also mean ‘irrelevance’. How and why have sound, voice, and music been considered relevant or irrelevant?
Dr. Salomé Voegelin, Professor in Sound at the London College of Communication, UAL, will give a keynote lecture entitled ‘A Voice that Speaks in Raptures: Performing Language’s Formless Self', offering a point of departure for further discussion (see the abstract below). A panel of invited postgraduate researchers (Sophia Edlund, Jacob Bird, and Edward Spencer) will give short responses to Dr. Voegelin’s recently published book The Political Possibility of Sound: Fragments of Listening (Bloomsbury, 2018) and provoke further engagement with the topic of materiality/immateriality. Dr. Kevin Logan, a cross-disciplinary artist/researcher/teacher, will give a ‘performance talk’ partially inspired by Dr. Voegelin’s book. Dr. Logan’s work foregrounds sonic practice using a speculative blending of writing, performance, moving-image, and installation. The day will culminate with exchange between attendees on concepts, methodologies and practices of acoustic materiality across music, voice and sound studies—both as a reflection on the day and as an opportunity to establish dialogues and disciplinary bridges among the working group’s members.
