Modernity does not imply a merging homogeneous reality, nor entails a comprehensive Western permeation. Musical instruments reflect individuals and their societies, traditions and quests for novelty, as well as links and differences between cultures. Some sound objects are endlessly duplicated and common in all corners of the world while others are rare or even unique. So is each voice. We believe this meeting to be a good opportunity for bringing to light different spectra on the importance of musical instruments, sound and music making in human history. Following the natural crossroads in Organology, this year’s main theme is «/Creativity in musical instruments, sound and music making/». The theme is the ‘leitmotif’ of the conference and it is not exclusive; participants are welcome to explore the interdisciplinary essence of Organology and sound studies, on all topics and techniques relevant to our field. We may add that performance issues should especially refer to the instruments or sound producing devices used for the artistic communication, being possible to focus on the "creativity" of the composer in the use of the particular instrument/s or sound producing. PARTICIPATION We welcome proposals for papers (15+5mn for questions and handover), panels (one hour), and posters, as well as lecture-recitals (30 to 40 minutes) and concerts. In addition, participants, namely inventors, makers and collectors, have the possibility to show a selection of their musical instruments or designs at the Exhibition. There is also a specific display area for books, scores, and other items, available during the conference days. The common language for presentations is English. Papers may be read in Portuguese, Spanish, French or Italian, provided the PowerPoint projection is in English. We also accept participation with direct translation in special cases. SUBMISSION We look forward to abstracts that describe original and technically excellent research from various perspectives. The title, abstract (in English or bilingual, of up to 300 words), and a biographical note (up to 100 words) should be received by email on or before the 20th of October of 2015. The results shall be communicated individually by the end of October after being peer-reviewed by the Scientific Committee. Papers presented at the Organological Congresses may be submitted for publication in the conference proceedings.
