The Art of Immersive Soundscapes II: a two-week summer institute
University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

The Departments of Music and Media Production and Studies at the
University of Regina, Canada, are hosting an international conference on
the interactions between soundscapes, music, and identity from June
20-22, 2007. Keynote speakers will be the distinguished Canadian audio
artists and composers Dr. Christos Hatzis (University of Toronto) and
Prof. Barry Truax (Simon Fraser University). The conference is held in
conjunction with the SSHRC-funded two-week Summer Institute, The Art of
Immersive Soundscapes 2.

Proposals are invited for papers, performances, and presentations that
address aspects of the relationships between different kinds of
soundscapes, musics, and concepts of identity. Topics may encompass
identity in personal, national, political contexts; musics ranging from
traditional acoustic to electronic and computer-generated; and varieties
of soundscapes, from environmental to electronic.  Multi-media
presentations are welcome.

Papers/presentations are limited to 20 minutes in length. We are
currently pursuing opportunities for publication of the proceedings.

Abstracts should be 250-500 words long and be submitted by e-mail, by
April 1, 2007, to the address listed below. The abstract should be
included in the body of the e-mail, as should the submitter's name,
telephone number, e-mail address, and institutional affiliation.
Identifying information will be removed before evaluation by the program
committee. E-mail notifications will be sent by May 1, 2007.
