<div dir="ltr">Sonic Signatures Symposium for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers
9th 11th of April 2014. Registration is FREE (subject to acceptance
of application).<br>
<br>
Deadline 1st November 2013.<br>
<br>
The Association for the Study of the Art of Record Production (ASARP) in
collaboration with the European Sound Studies Association (ESSA) is
pleased to announce the launch of its annual symposium series, the first
of which explores Sonic Signatures. This is a unique opportunity to
work with top international academics and recording industry
professionals to develop the leading edge of scholarship in this crucial
aspect of the analysis of recorded popular music. Over three intensive
days you will workshop your own research topic in the context of some of
the latest analytical approaches while at the same time being grounded
in the practicalities of current creative practice.<br>
<br>
Hosted by Aalborg University, Denmark, the symposium deals with the
debates surrounding the sonic signatures of recorded music artefacts.
These debates are intimately bound up with technology and therefore with
artifice, construction, representation, and mediation which themselves
deal with subjects such as the (re)creation of (artificial/ impossible)
spaces, the relocation of spaces, digital assemblage, artificial
persona, and genre and style. They are, therefore, a representation of
historical, cultural, political, national and rhetorical milieux through
the artifice and mediation of technology. Above all, though, the sonic
signature of a recorded music artefact bears the artistic imprint of the
producer and the imprint of the performer's engagement with the
technology.<br>
<br>
We are also delighted to announce Richard James Burgess Ph.D. who has
produced many gold, platinum, and multi-platinum albums as our industry
keynote speaker.<br>
<br>
Richard has been a major label recording artist and composer with hit
records in his own right; was a studio musician of note, and has worked
internationally for most major labels as a producer, engineer, re-mixer
and manager of artists and producers. He is known for his pioneering
work with synthesizers, computers, and sampling and as an inventor of
the Simmons SDSV drum synthesizer. He currently works at Smithsonian
Folkways Recordings in Washington DC, where he was co-producer,
co-executive producer and project director for Jazz: The Smithsonian
Anthology, a seven year project chronicling more than a century of jazz
and authored The Art of Music Production: The Theory and Practice, 4th
edition (Oxford University Press).<br>
