Sound and the City: Interdisciplinary Perspectives Conference
There is an interesting Conference about Sound and the City in Cambridge this Friday (22 February 2008). It is organised by the Cambridge University City Seminar at CRASSH (Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities). They are also organising the Conference “Music, Sound, and the Reconfiguration of Public and Private Space” that will take place 18-19 April 2008 in Cambridge, as Blogged earlier. Registration is now open for this event!
This is the conference announcement from their website:
Taking as its theme the intersection of sound and the city, this seminar seeks to present theoretical, artistic and empirical accounts of the complex relationships between acoustics, sensory awareness and performance in the context of urban space, landscape and the built environment (historic and contemporary). But the concepts of ‘sound’ and ‘the city’ are only intended to serve as departure points for more creative reflections on, or interventions into, this theme. A discussion of sound could well include an account of silence, just as a description of a city or urban space might well ask where the city ends and its other begins. Consequently, we expect Read the rest of this entry »

5TH INTERNATIONAL MOBILE MUSIC WORKSHOP 2008
13-15 May 2008, Vienna, Austria
Call for Submissions: Deadline 17 February 2008
http://www.mobilemusicworkshop.org
The Mobile Music Workshop 2008 is the 5th in a series of annual international gatherings that explore the creative, critical and commercial potential of mobile music. They are inspired by the ever-changing social, geographic, ecological, emotional context of using mobile technology for creative ends. We are looking for new ideas and ground-breaking projects on sound in mobile contexts. What new forms of interaction with music and audio lie ahead as locative media, ubiquitous networks, and music access merge into new forms of experiences that shape the everyday? Can they change the way we think about our mobile devices and about walking through the city?
