The conference’s theme is music since 1900 and the conference’s programming policy is best described as whole-heartedly pluralist.  Proposals are therefore invited on ANY topic and/or repertoire (popular, art, jazz, folk, world, commercial, political, religious, ‘everyday’, film, TV, games, online, etc.) relating to the musics of the 20th and 21st centuries, and utilizing any scholarly approach from within the fields of musicology or other relevant intellectual disciplines.  

Proposals are also invited in relation to the following conference sub-themes:  

* Cultural identity     
* Electro-acoustic music and related digital arts (acousmatic, live electronics, mixed media with live acoustic voices/instruments, audio-visual, electronica, glitch, lower case, hacking and bending, noise art, installation, etc.)
* Music and narrative

Proposals blurring the boundaries between different topics (including the conference sub-themes) are naturally welcome.  

Proposals are invited for any of the following: 

* Papers (20 minutes maximum, with 10 minutes for discussion)
* Paper sessions (three or four papers, each 20 minutes maximum, with 10 minutes for discussion) 
* Roundtable discussions (up to 6 participants, each giving a short position paper, followed by a general discussion) 
* Recitals, lecture-recitals and lectures illustrated by sound diffusions or audio-visual screenings
