[ANPPOM-L] CFP: CHARM Symposium

[Carlos Palombini]

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

CHARM (the AHRC Research Centre for the History and Analysis of Recorded
Music) will be holding its third residential symposium at Egham (London)
on 20-22 April 2006. Its topic is 'Transfer and the recording as
historical document' and we envisage this as a relatively small,
intensive meeting focussing specifically on the issue of how you get
sounds off historical recordings, the assumptions and choices involved
in the transfer process, and what musicologists need to know about this
if they are to interpret recordings as the historical documents they
are. In addition to CHARM staff, contributors to the symposium will
include Mark Obert-Thorn, Roger Beardsley, John McBride, George
Brock-Nannestad, Simon Trezise and (provisionally) Rob Cowan, thus
including the perspectives of the transfer specialist, musicologist, and
critic.

We have room for a limited number of additional presentations, and are
therefore inviting proposals relating closely to the symposium topic.
(Please note that subsequent CHARM symposia, and an international
conference to be held on 13-15 September 2007, will allow for discussion
of broader issues in the interpretation of recordings.)

Please send proposals to me, Nicholas Cook (nicholas.cook em rhul.ac.uk),
by ***15 January 2006***; because the symposium will be a small one, we
are not necessarily looking for traditional conference-style papers, and
hope to allot up to one hour for each presentation. We expect to issue
invitations by 1 February and shall be able to make a contribution
towards the travel and accommodation costs of presenters.
