Music Encoding Conference 2013
============================================
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Music Encoding Conference 2013: Concepts, Methods, Editions
22-24 May, 2013
============================================
You are cordially invited to participate in the Music Encoding Conference 2013 – Concepts, Methods, Editions, to be held 22-24 May, 2013, at the Mainz Academy for Literature and Sciences in Mainz, Germany.
Music encoding is now a prominent feature of various areas in musicology and music librarianship. The encoding of symbolic music data provides a foundation for a wide range of scholarship, and over the last several years, has garnered a great deal of attention in the digital humanities. This conference intends to provide an overview of the current state of data modeling, generation, and use, and aims to introduce new perspectives on topics in the fields of traditional and computational musicology, music librarianship, and scholarly editing, as well as in the broader area of digital humanities.
As the conference has a dual focus on music encoding and scholarly editing in the context of the digital humanities, the Program Committee is also happy to announce keynote lectures by Frans Wiering (Universiteit Utrecht) and Daniel Pitti (University of Virginia), both distinguished scholars in their respective fields of musicology and markup technologies in the digital humanities.
Proposals for papers, posters, panel discussions, and pre-conference workshops are encouraged. Prospective topics for submissions include:
* theoretical and practical aspects of music, music notation models, and scholarly editing
* rendering of symbolic music data in audio and graphical forms
* relationships between symbolic music data, encoded text, and facsimile images
* capture, interchange, and re-purposing of music data and metadata
* ontologies, authority files, and linked data in music encoding
* additional topics relevant to music encoding and music editing
For paper and poster proposals, abstracts of no more than 1000 words, with no more than five relevant bibliographic references, are requested. Panel sessions may be one and a half or three hours in length.
Abstracts for panel sessions, describing the topic and nature of the session and including short biographies of the participants, should be no longer than 2000 words.
Proposals for pre-conference workshops, to be held on May 21st, must include a description of space and technical requirements.
Author guidelines and authoritative stylesheets for each submission type will be made available on the conference webpage at http://music-encoding.org/conference/2013 in early December.
All accepted papers, posters, and panel sessions will be included in the conference proceedings, tentatively scheduled to be published by the end of 2013.

Venezuela's Youth Orchestra Program El Sistema: Myths, Metaphors and Realities, Tue 13 Nov in room 944
Research Seminar Announcement
Venezuela's Youth Orchestra Program El Sistema: Myths, Metaphors and Realities
Dr Geoff Baker, Royal Holloway, University of London
Tuesday 13th November
12.45-1.45
Room 944:
Further details from Lucy Green, l.green2@ioe.ac.uk
All are welcome!
The Venezuelan youth orchestra program El Sistema has garnered much
attention and praise in recent years. It has been enthusiastically
endorsed by major musical figures - Simon Rattle described it as "the
most important thing happening in music anywhere in the world" - and
by prestigious international institutions such as UNESCO and the
Inter-American Development Bank.
Yet there is very little in the way of research on El Sistema.
External monitoring and evaluation have been largely absent, so most
writing on the topic is based on spectacular concerts, red-carpet
tours, official interviews, and information from El Sistema's PR
department. This paper represents a first attempt to examine
critically some of the claims made by and for El Sistema on the basis
of extensive research in Venezuela.
Touching on the little-known history of the program's founder, Jose
Antonio Abreu, and of the gestation of the project itself, I analyze
the notion that El Sistema is a "revolutionary social program." It is
widely reported that the program is extremely successful: on what
basis are such claims made, and to what extent are they verifiable?
After considering the relationship between orchestral metaphors and
realities, I scrutinize the musical and social education that
participants receive through orchestral training, and thus the core
idea of "music as social action." Addressing issues such as social
inclusion, discipline, democracy, and teamwork, I ask: does an
orchestra represent an ideal, harmonious society, as the program
claims? If El Sistema is a "school of social life," what sort of
society does it model?
The implications of this analysis may be significant, given that the
program has captured the imagination of music educators and policy
makers around the globe and is being enthusiastically copied in dozens
of countries, including the UK.
Geoff Baker is a Reader in the music department at Royal Holloway,
University of London. He is the author of Imposing Harmony: Music and
Society in Colonial Cuzco (Duke University Press, 2008), which won the
American Musicological Society's Robert Stevenson Award in 2010, and
Buena Vista in the Club: Rap, Reggaetón, and Revolution in Havana
(Duke University Press, 2011). His recent research encompasses
childhood musical learning and music education in Cuba and Venezuela.
He was co-investigator on the AHRC-funded project "Growing into
music," and is making a series of documentaries and short films about
young musicians in Cuba and Venezuela. He also held a British Academy
Research Development Award in 2010-11 and undertook fieldwork in
Venezuela on the country's orchestral music education program, El
Sistema. He is in the later stages of writing a book on this topic. He
is currently attached to Oxford University, working on a project
entitled "Music, Digitization, Mediation: Towards Interdisciplinary
Music Studies."

Macbeth, Montage and Machinima -Thu 25 October 2012, 3-5pm- part of the Inside Out Festival
Blue Room, BFI Southbank, Belvedere Road, South Bank, London SE1 8XT
Free but booking required – through the link below:
http://www.insideoutfestival.org.uk/events/macbeth-montage-and-machinima/
This event will feature presentations by participants in two projects
from the DARE (Digital Arts Research Education) Collaborative at the
Institute of Education (IOE), working with partners in the British
Film Institute (BFI) and at London's Globe Theatre.
The first project was jointly organised by the BFI and the
Cinematheque Francaise in Paris and explored the intervention of the
"real" in fiction. This project also produced two "machinima" films
made by year 7 students in Cambridge. These are 3D animations made
using the software Moviestorm, and are fantasy sci fi and horror
stories.
In the second project a partnership was formed between Shakespeare's
Globe and Immersive Education, who produced the game-authoring
software, Missionmaker. Students created games which drew on a key
scene from Macbeth, involving them in a rich digital and cultural
experience.
Students from the schools will present the work, alongside their
teachers, and they will be happy to discuss the work with the
audience.
From London, students from the London Nautical School will attend with
their teacher Chris Waugh and researcher/evaluator, Michelle Cannon.
From Cambridge there will be students from Parkside Federation with
their teacher, James Durran. The event will be hosted by Mark Reid
from BFI Education, and, from the IOE, Andrew Burn and John Potter.

The first project was jointly organised by the BFI and the
Cinematheque Francaise in Paris and explored the intervention of the
"real" in fiction. This project also produced two "machinima" films
made by year 7 students in Cambridge. These are 3D animations made
using the software Moviestorm, and are fantasy sci fi and horror
stories.
In the second project a partnership was formed between Shakespeare's
Globe and Immersive Education, who produced the game-authoring
software, Missionmaker. Students created games which drew on a key
scene from Macbeth, involving them in a rich digital and cultural
experience.
Students from the schools will present the work, alongside their
teachers, and they will be happy to discuss the work with the
audience.
From London, students from the London Nautical School will attend with
their teacher Chris Waugh and researcher/evaluator, Michelle Cannon.
From Cambridge there will be students from Parkside Federation with
their teacher, James Durran. The event will be hosted by Mark Reid
from BFI Education, and, from the IOE, Andrew Burn and John Potter.
