I suspect that some lilypond users will be involved in performance studies, so I venture this off-topic post.
We are running the 7th International Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology on the topic of Performance in Glasgow, along side a couple of workshops on related things. The call fall papers, extended abstracts due 15th April, follows. Some bursaries are available to offset travel costs (but only a few!): see the web site. I hope people who might be interested will read on; to the rest, sorry to bother you :) ==================================================== CIM11: Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology 2011 Glasgow Scotland, August 30, 2011 – September 3, 2011 Convenors: Science and Music Research Group, Glasgow University School of Engineering and Computing, Glasgow Caledonian University Deadline for Submission of Abstracts: Friday April 15, 2011 Abstracts should be submitted via the conference website http://www.n-ism.org/CIM2011 The text must be in English. As the contrasting approaches and methods of sciences, humanities and arts continue to interpenetrate and cross-fertilize, musicologists have been posing new questions about the culture, history, physics, biology, psychology and sociology of music performance. CIM11 will provide a unique opportunity for music performance researchers to achieve new trans-disciplinary synergies by working together with colleagues with contrasting epistemological backgrounds. The CIM series involves all musicological sub-disciplines and paradigms (analytical, applied, comparative, cultural, empirical, ethnological, historical, popular, scientific, systematic, theoretical) and all musically relevant disciplines (acoustics, aesthetics, anthropology, archeology, art history and theory, biology, composition, computing, cultural studies, economics, education, ethnology, gender studies, history, linguistics, literary studies, mathematics, medicine, music theory and analysis, neurosciences, perception, performance, philosophy, physiology, prehistory, psychoacoustics, psychology, religious studies). For further information see http://www.uni-graz.at/~parncutt/cim/. Each submission must have at least two authors who represent two of the following three broad areas: * Humanities such as aesthetics, anthropology, archeology, art history and theory, cultural studies, ethnology, linguistics, literary studies, music history, ethnomusicology, cultural studies, prehistory, theoretical sociology, philosophy, semiotics, sociology and music theory/analysis * Sciences such as acoustics, biology, computing, linguistics, mathematics, perception, psychoacoustics, empirical psychology and sociology, physiology, statistics and computer science * Practically oriented disciplines including performance, composition, education, engineering, medicine and therapy All abstract submissions to CIM11 must address an issue in music performance, e.g.: * Physical, biological, psychological and cultural constraints on performance * Creativity: composition, interpretation, improvisation, expression * Movement, gesture, dance, corporality, sexuality, gender * Performance skills and their acquisition * Timing and intonation * Practice, rehearsal, ensemble, conducting * Measurement, analysis and interpretation of performance attributes * Coping with performance situations, interactions, injuries * Performance on specific instruments including the voice * Electronic performance interfaces and environments * Comparisons across musical styles, genres, cultures * Sociology, politics and economics of performers and performance PS.....it will be noted (http://www.n-ism.org/CIM2011) that CIM11 is being held concurrentlky with two other conferences: The Anatomy of Listening (sponsored by the Royal Society of Edinburgh) and The Workshop on International Cross-Disciplinary Research Collaboration in Science and Music (sponsored by Universitas 21) Nick/. -- Dr Nicholas J Bailey, Director, Science and Music Research Group, The University of Glasgow http://www.n-ism.org/People/nick.phg Find out about our Masters in Signal Processing, Electronics and Computing Techniques for Researching and Understanding Music http://www.n-ism.org/SPECTRUM
