Sixth Annual Art of Record Production Conference
Change and Continuity: transformations, innovations and tensions in the
03.12.2010 - 05.12.2010
The theme of the conference is centred around the idea of change and continuity - the idea that music and music production can look backwards or it can look forwards. The way our 'art' changes through technology and the use of technology is an example of where people make choices between, for instance, old technology and new technology - between old sounds and new sounds, while continually exploring the space in between these two theoretical poles. In addition, we see innovation all around us but we might also reflect on what is new. There are also tensions in our field between technology, artistry, craftsmanship, aesthetics, and commerce. We hope that the strands will allow the conference to consider change and continuity in the art of record production.

British Forum for Ethnomusicology (BFE) at University College Falmouth, Tremough Campus, Cornwal
06.08.2010 - 10.04.2011
Following a highly successful 2010 conference in Oxford, the annual conference moves to the rural south-west of the UK for 2011. The conference will take place in the new Performance Centre in Cornwall, built by University College Falmouth in 2010. This area of the UK is noted for its coastal scenery and mild climate and is also the location of an under-represented Celtic community with its own language, traditions and culture but little functional autonomy (unlike Wales or Scotland). UCF is a specialist arts college with schools of Art & Design, Media & Performance. The conference theme is chosen to provide an opportunity for cross-disciplinary links between Ethnomusicology and Media, Writing, Theatre and Dance.
