1st CALL FOR ABSTRACTS :

Prosody of Expressivity in Speech and Music

Third EMUS Conference - Expressivity in MUsic and Speech
http://recherche.ircam.fr/equipes/analyse-synthese/EMUS

Paris, France, June 17th-18th, 2008, during AGORA music festival
[Abstract submission deadline: February 29th, 2008]
Keywords: emotion, expressivity, prosody, music, acquisition, 
perception, production, interpretation, performance, cognitive sciences, 
neurosciences, acoustic analysis, linguistics, phonetics.

DESCRIPTION:
The analysis of expressivity in speech and musical performance are two 
emerging and pluri-disciplinary areas of scientific research. The recent 
parallelism in this research of the role played by prosody (verbal 
and/or instrumental) in expressivity raises new questions at the 
boundary of these two areas. These questions are constantly raised in a 
more or less direct manner by an artistic community that has “handled” 
for a long time now the expressive gesture. In order to bring together 
the many participants in the artistic and scientific domains, this 
colloquium focuses on two questions : How can one define the 
expressivities common to both speech and music (what are the semantic 
and categorical fields) ? What are the acoustical elements common to 
both music and speech that make possible the description of these 
expressivities ? These questions will be dealt with from the point of 
view of the composer, the scientific researcher, the performer and the 
musicologist.

FRAMEWORK:
This workshop will be the third event of a string dedicated to the
relations between language and music:
May 5th: Prosody and Expressivity in Speech and Music (Speech Prosody 
2008, Campinas, Brazil)
May 16th: Prosody, Babbling and Music (Ecole Normale Supérieure Lettres 
et Sciences Humaines, Lyon)
June 17-18th: Prosody of Expressivity in Music and Speech (IRCAM, Paris)
September 25th and 26th: Semiotics and microgenesis of verbal and 
musical forms (RISC, Paris).
Our aim is to make links between several fields of research and create a
community interested in the relations between music and language. The 
project will be materialized in a final publication of the keynote 
papers of those four events.
This colloquium takes place during the June 2008 Agora Festival. As a 
counterpoint to this scientific colloquium, IRCAM is organizing - in 
collaboration with the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers (CNAM) - an 
evening event aimed towards a wider public. This event’s goal is to give 
an accessible overview of current musical and scientific research in the 
area of expressivity.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
The workshop will host about ten posters.
Authors should submit an extended abstract to: beller em ircam.fr in pdf
format by February 29, 2008.
We will send an email confirming the reception of the submission. The
suggested abstract length is maximum 1 page, formatted in standard 
style. The authors of the accepted abstracts will be allocated as poster
highlights. Time will be allocated in the programme for poster 
presentations and discussions. Before the workshop, the extended 
abstracts (maximum 4 pages) will be made available to a broader
audience on the workshop web site. We also plan to maintain the web page
after the workshop and encourage the authors to submit slides and 
posters with relevant links to their personal web pages.
