11th International Conference in Music and Sonic Art: Sounding Identities (MuSA 2022)

Description

Paper Presentation: ‘Peace Wall Belfast: Spatial Audio Representation of Divided Spaces and Soundwalks’.

“Our main aim in organizing this conference is to explore and build on the historical, theoretical and practical connections and similarities between Music and Sonic Art: we want to bring a different perspective to the relationship between the two areas, one that thrives on regarding them as displaying continuities and links, along a broad spectrum of hearing and listening practices and art-making that use sound. We note that research in Music and in Sonic Art are both interdisciplinary by nature, and that the theoretical and aesthetic concerns of contemporary practitioners in the two domains might be more similar than is currently assumed.

In accordance with our main theme in MuSA 2022, ‘Sounding identities’, we wish to explore how artistic, cultural, social, institutional, national, disciplinary, and sensory (aural, visual, tactile, embodied) identities and agencies are constructed through engagement with music and sonic art practices; how technologies mediate the construction of such identities; the material cultures that facilitate identity formation; and the emergence of new identities through the cross-fertilization between musical and sonic art practices.”

This event is supported by the Royal Music Association and Middlesex University, London.
