Following the great success of its inaugural conference held by the University of Hull in 2010, this two-day conference will be hosted by the Department of Culture, Communication & Media, Institute of Education, University of London.
Although the 'musicking' humanity has been reliant on technology from the very beginning of its musical 'journey', we cannot deny that, nowadays, technology changes, develops, and its role is being redefined at a dramatically greater rate. This SEMPRE conference aims to celebrate technology's challenging role(s) and provide a platform for critical discourse and the presentation of scholarly work in the broader fields of digital technologies in:
● music composition and creation
● music performance
● music production (recording, studio work, archival and/or communication of music)
● diverse musical genres (e.g. popular, classical, world, etc.)
● creativity/ies
● real world praxial contexts (e.g. classroom, studio, etc.)
● assessment of musical development and/or assessment of performance
● computational musicology
● special educational contexts/needs
The conference will provide opportunities for colleagues to present and discuss ideas in a friendly and supportive environment, as well as to provide a meeting point for academics, scholars, teachers, and practitioners who are seeking to form connections and synergies with participants from around the world. The event will include 20 minute spoken paper presentations, poster presentations, workshops, open dialogue sessions, as well as two keynote addresses from renowned scholars (more details will become available on the SEMPRE website shortly).
