Description
A collaboration between DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama, the Dublin School of Creative Arts and GradCAMKeynote Speakers:
Bill Fontana - American sound artist and composer
Brandon LaBelle - artist, writer and theorist
Although substantial research on the spatiality of sound has been carried out within the disciplines of musicology, sound art, and visual art studies, much of this work has remained separate, enclosed within these specialised fields of research. This conference aims to address this imbalance, acknowledging the fluid exchange of ideas between these spheres in actual practice and fostering an interdisciplinary spirit amongst researchers and practitioners. The conference committee thus invites presentations from sound artists,visual artists, composers, academics, and post-graduate researchers which consider the spatiality of sound in all its diverse forms.

‒Panel and Roundtable Discussions (90 mins, max 6 speakers)
Proposals for individual and joint papers must be in the form of an abstract not exceeding 250 words. Proposals for themed sessions, panels and roundtable discussions should not be more than 800 words and should indicate the number and title of each individual paper with its abstract. Abstracts may be submitted in either a Microsoft Word document or via a PDF attachment. All proposals should include name, contact details, institutional affiliation (if any) and a short biographical note of not more than 100 words on each speaker. The conference language is English. Proposals should be submitted to [email protected]
