Ecomusicologies 2016: Locations and Dislocations

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

*Ecomusicologies 2016: Locations and Dislocations*

*April 8-10, 2016*

*Westminster Choir College of Rider University*

*Princeton, NJ*

*Deadline for proposals: December 1, 2015*

Ecomusicologies 2016 seeks to bring together scholars, performers, and
composers to further explore the relationships between music, culture, and
the environment under the theme *Locations and Dislocations*. The
conference will tune to sounds as they fit or belong in the place they are
heard, as they fit or belong in some other place, or as they have no
ecological home, either built or natural. Among the questions at stake are
those concerning how listeners (dis)locate sounds; how sounds both emanate
from and shape their environments; what causes sounding bodies to locate,
relocate, and dislocate; whether some sounds are un-locateable; and how
technologies splice, combine, and compress sounds into new locations.
Possible paper topics related to the theme might explore any of the
following, as well as a number of other topics:

   - Music composed by combining built and natural sound sources
   - The changing environment around an unchanging sound
   - Outsourced musical labor
   - The migration of populations and their sounds/music in response to
   environmental catastrophe
   - Psychographic data that locates music-listening practices: when apps
   listen back
   - The sounds of populations biopolitically dislocated from vital
   resources
   - The relationship among sound, (dis)ability, and environments

The program committee welcomes submissions on any aspect of ecomusicology
and from any academic discipline. The keynote speaker is composer Byron Au
Yong (hearbyron.com). The son of immigrants, Au Yong’s music and music
theatre works—which include site-specific collaborations—have extensively
explored notions of “home” and “not home,” location and dislocation. We
especially encourage proposals that relate of the theme of *Locations and
Dislocations* and the works of Byron Au Yong. Submissions can be in one of
