We are particularly interested in alternative format presentations, including workshops, lecture-demonstrations, roundtable discussions, performances, and other collaborative activities. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Sounding texts and the textuality of sound: manuscripts, notation, software, and code for sound design, curation, and production
- Soundscapes and virtual worlds in architecture, archaeology, and beyond
- Open source, copyright, and the politics of information architecture
- Digital pedagogy: technology in the classroom; problems and approaches
- Analog(ue): histories of sound and music within and without the digital
- Theory and practice in production cultures, from musical performance to multimedia composition and editing
- Visualization and sonification: listening through “big data”
- Sonic warfare and digital ethics: surveillance, torture, noise, and silence
- Musical networks, old and new
- Sound play, games, and the ludohumanities
- GIS, locative media, and musical geographies
