A long way to the top

IASPM Benelux | Erasmus University Rotterdam

International Conference | 6-7 November 2014 | Rotterdam - the Netherlands | CfP deadline June 1st 2014

International conference to celebrate the 30th anniversary of IASPM Benelux

Once upon a time, a famous rock ‘n’ roll group sang about what it means to play in a music band. In their lyrics they touch upon the role of the music industry (‘getting sold’), the difficulties of a musical career (‘under-paid’ and ‘getting grey’) and music consumption (‘if you wanna be a star’), while celebrating music

for music’s sake. As such, this song addresses many issues in the production and reception of popular music in the contemporary globalized world. Yet, recent developments in the field of music have changed the ‘way to the top’, such as governmental policy on music, the rise of new media, and the growing number of music festivals. Focusing on a select number of interrelated themes, this conference aims to bring together scholars from various countries each with their own perspective to engage in an international exchange of ideas and current research insights about music production and reception. Call for papers: http://www.eshcc.eur.nl/english/iaspmconference/call_for_papers/

Please send your abstract of 400 words in English (including a research question, theory and methodology) together with a short biography (100 words), including name, institutional affiliation and position, phone number, postal and e-mail addresses, to: [email protected]

Abstract deadline: 1 June, 2014. Participants will receive notifications of acceptance by 1 August, 2014. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

MESSAGE FROM GEOFF STAHL
Hi all, Looking forward to catching up with some old IASPM-ite friends and meeting others over the next few days. Would people be up for a pre-has-Elvis-left-the-building event drink tonight? I will be at Cafe De Witte Aap from about 6:30, if people care to join. It's very near WORM. Cheers, Geoff
