Call for Papers
This year’s call for papers is in association with the Journal of
Music, Technology and Education. Proposers are asked to indicate on
their submission if they would like their work to be considered for
publication in a forthcoming issue of the journal.

Focussing on issues arising from FIMPaC 2010, the main theme for the
event is ‘Liveness’ and invitations for proposals may include, for
example:

Philosophical concerns and definitions of ‘liveness’.
Audience reception of electronic and acousmatic music.
Composing and music production for multimedia.
Pedagogical concerns that address popular, electronic and acousmatic
music.
Postmodernism in Music Composition/Production.

Further to the above, proposals that address innovation in
compositional practice and music production are welcome (for example,
focus on compositional/production process, applications of music
technology, pedagogy, dissemination, analysis or critical studies).

While proposals are invited on any area of music composition/
production research and practice, from within any discipline/genre
(commercial, popular, experimental, mixed media, electronica,
electroacoustic, acousmatic etc…), preference will be given to topics
that address cross-disciplinary approaches that inform new insights.

Proposals
The deadline for the submission of proposals is Monday 25 March 2011.
