Oxford Brookes’ PMRU and OxPAN are holding a postgraduate study day at Oxford Brookes on Thursday 25th May 2017 particularly aimed at universities regional to the Oxford area but open to all. The day will feature paper sessions presented by local students, and a discussion panel.
The panel will bring together experts from academia and the music industry to discuss syncing – the process of connecting a musical composition with a moving picture. The topic continues the ‘Shifting Ground’ theme of Oxford Brookes’ PMRU group (see https://pmrubrookes.wordpress.
This Study Day is a fantastic opportunity for students from across the region to present their current research, meet and network with fellow students and academics, and watch academics and music industry professionals discuss issues current to popular music studies and the music industry.
