FIRST CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
Seminar on The Musician as Listener
22-23 May, 2008
Ghent, Belgium
Keynote speakers: Cornelius De Bondt & Eric Clarke

THE MUSICIAN AS LISTENER

The aim of the seminar is to present, discuss and disseminate new  
research relating to music listening, from the musician’s point of  
view. Experience has shown that how musicians listen to music often  
differs in important ways from how even knowledgeable non-musicians  
listen. These findings have important implications for artistic  
research in music, and it is the aim of this seminar to explore some  
of these and consider their implications for a variety of artistic  
research issues. Along the way the seminar will reflect on the impact  
of these findings in relation to the use and effectiveness of specific  
tools within artistic research. In general, the seminar aims to  
contribute to and reinforce the growing field of artistic research in  
music.

The seminar will be relevant for musicians and graduate students  
working in all areas of research linked to musical practice.

Themes relating to all aspects of the seminar topic are welcome.
Particular themes covered could include:
- How does your personal listening history influence your performances  
or compositions?
- How do you (learn to) listen to yourself while performing?
- What do you, as a performer, composer or pedagogue, listen for in  
music?

In addition, questions may be discussed that deal with conducting  
artistic research itself, in particular the way one’s personal  
listening experience and mode of listening may affect one’s research.

Practitioners from all music disciplines are invited to submit  
proposals for presentations. Proposals should consist of 300-400 words  
and provide a brief account of the project’s rationale, method of  
investigation and findings. In addition, proposals should include the  
title of the presentation, names and institutional affiliations of  
each author, short curriculum vitae, contact information and required  
technical support. Please indicate whether your presentation includes  
live music. Presentations will be allocated 30 minutes, this includes  
10 minutes for questions and discussion.

Deadline for proposals is March 1, 2008. Notification of acceptance  
will be made by 13 March 2008. Proposals should be sent to: info em orpheusinstituut.be

Orpheus Instituut has been providing postgraduate education for  
musicians since 1996 and introduced a doctoral programme for  
performers and composers in 2004. It acts as a forum where musicians  
can expand their artistic training by conducting practice-based  
research. The Orpheus Instituut is respected as an artistic research  
centre where musicians can take on the artistic and social challenges  
of the future.

Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM]
ORCiM was founded in 2007 by the Orpheus Instituut. ORCiM contemplates  
the grounds for artistic research, develops and implements new tools  
for artistic research and generates new research on specific topics in  
musical practice. The aim of ORCiM is to provide musicians  
investigating questions of artistic relevance with an appropriate  
research environment and to promote the kind of research that enhances  
the art of music making and our understanding of it.
