Fwd: SIG NOTICE: Some More PhD Scholarships at UWL
Please note the deadline of 9 December.
From: IASPM UK and Ireland <IASPMUK-AND-I@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> on behalf of Simon Zagorski-Thomas <Simon.Zagorski-Thomas@UWL.AC.UK>
Sent: 28 November 2018 17:51
To: IASPMUK-AND-I@JISCMAIL.AC.UK
Subject: Some More PhD Scholarships at UWL
The University of West London (London College of Music) is now offering PhD scholarships for highly motivated individuals. These are open to all UK/EU students who qualify and include:
- PhD fee waiver at the Home/EU rate
- tax-free stipend of £15,000 per annum
The principal subject areas are outlined below:
Other ideas will also be considered – contact to discuss.
Closing date for applications: 9 December 2018, 23:59.
Interviews will take place shortly afterwards. Please note that the university expects shortlisted applicants to attend face-to-face interviews. The scholarships will commence in January 2018.
Further details can be viewed at:
https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BOF465/the-vice-chancellors-phd-scholarships
Preliminary enquiries can be directed to simon.zagorski-thomas@uwl.ac.uk , who will be delighted to discuss the interests of potential applicants, and help to shape the proposed theme of any application.
Performance in the Studio: communication and interaction between musicians and technicians in the recording environment
The study of communication and interaction in the recording studio is an ongoing theme in the musicology of record production and this project would focus on a relevant aspect of LCM's world-leading research in this area. The prospective student should choose a specific focus such as contemporary song writing techniques, recording improvisations, performing for sound-to-picture work etc. Working with a theoretical framework drawn from embodied
/ grounded cognition and network- or system-based creativity, this project would utilise filmed recording sessions, interviews and stimulated recall to explore the ways that musicians and technicians work together in the studio environment.
Principal Supervisor
Simon Zagorski-Thomas is Professor of Music at the London College of Music: For informal queries about this PhD project, please contact Professor Zagorski-Thomas at simon.zagorski- thomas@uwl.ac.uk
An Embodied / Ecological Approach to Audio Mixing
Building on LCM's world-leading research into the notion of sonic cartoons this project would explore the connections between the complexities of 'real-world' sonic phenomena and the use of audio production and processing tools to create schematic representations that afford related metaphorical interpretations. This project will explore these metaphorical connections through analyses of the 'real-world' phenomena and the construction of instrumental timbres, audio panoramas and musical narratives that utilise schematic features from the analyses. The analysis techniques will combine spectrographs, musicological description and audience / expert surveys to triangulate these forms of evidence.
Principal Supervisor
Simon Zagorski-Thomas is Professor of Music at the London College of Music: For informal queries about this PhD project, please contact Professor Zagorski-Thomas at simon.zagorski- thomas@uwl.ac.uk
Part Learning in Popular Music Performance: tacit learning of tacit knowledge in a popular music ensemble context
Much of the process of part writing and arranging in popular music ensembles is unspoken and often even unconscious. Using a process of filmed rehearsals, interviews and stimulated recall, this study will seek to explain the ways in which popular musicians acquire this form of tacit knowledge and synchronise their actions into a 'head arrangement'. The study will use theories of situated learning, embodied / grounded cognition and network- or system- based creativity. This approach to learning will then inform a series of proposals for incorporation into ensemble-based performance pedagogy. Ideally the candidate will propose ways in which the impact of this research can be exploited in conjunction with LCM Exams and their international network.
Principal Supervisor
Elizabeth Pipe is Senior Lecturer at the London College of Music: For informal queries about this PhD project, please contact Dr Pipe at elizabeth.pipe@uwl.ac.uk
A creative practice-as-research approach to exploring issues of gender, music and technology
Staff at LCM established the international 21st Century Music Practice research network and are at the forefront of practice-as-research in music. This project will continue the process of refining rigorous methodologies in practice-as-research while also furthering UWL's
research excellence in the field of gender studies. In addition to creative practical work the candidate will use the exegesis of the PhD to illustrate and explain the development of new technical and/or metaphorical musical language, concepts and structures that illuminate aspects of the gender studies agenda. Ideally the project will propose ways in which the creative output can contribute to LCM's research impact agenda.
Principal Supervisor
Sara McGuinness is Associate Professor at the London College of Music: For informal queries about this PhD project, please contact Dr McGuinness at sara.mcguinness@uwl.ac.uk
The Feldenkrais Method: Beyond Improved strategies for musical practice
Since its inception the somatic learning technique founded by Mosche Feldenkrais has been associated with performing arts-training. Feldenkrais worked with the guitarist Narciso Yepes, the violinist Yehudi Menuhin and the conductor Igor Markevitch. Scholarship on Feldenkrais and musicians has focused primarily on mechanical technique rather than developing new thinking and practices of listening and learning from the history, aesthetics, and the underlying strategies and philosophy of embodiment intrinsic to the Method. The proposed PhD would develop new pathways to practice (multi-modal approaches to problems for example) from these contexts and trial them with London College of Music students to connect theory and practice.

The Institute of Musical Research celebrates Brian Ferneyhough's seventy-fifth birthday with a talk with the composer Julian Anderson. Brian Ferneyhough (b.1943) is widely recognized as one of today's foremost living composers. Since the mid-1970s, when he first gained widespread international recognition, his music has earned him an enviable reputation as one of the most influential creative personalities and significant musical thinkers on the contemporary scene.
His works include the opera Shadowtime, the orchestral works Plötzlichkeit, La Terre est un homme and Transit, six numbered string quartets and several smaller works for the ensemble, concertos for solo instrument and chamber ensemble including La chûte d'Icare, Incipits and Terrain, and many virtuosic solo works. His recent cycle of works, Umbrations, was premiered in Frankfurt: one of these works, Christus Resurgens, will receive its London première at Wigmore Hall on Monday 26 November.
Julian Anderson (b.1967) is one the leading composers of his generation, with commissions and performances throughout the UK, Europe, Asia and the United States. His opera Thebans was premiered at ENO in 2014, and he has recently composed string quartets for the Arditti and JACK. The BBC featured a 'Total Immersion' day of his music in 2017, and he holds the post of Professor of Composition and Composer in Residence at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
A series of talks by leading international composers, linked to performances of their work in the UK.

The University of Sheffield
3–5th July 2019
http://www.sparc.dept.shef.ac.uk/audience-research-in-the-arts-conference-3-5-july-2019/
Sheffield Performer and Audience Research Centre (SPARC) is hosting a conference in partnership with the International Network for Audience Research in the Performing Arts (iNARPA), The Audience Agency, Routledge, The University of Leeds and Deakin University, to bring together researchers and industry professionals who investigate audience engagement with the arts. This conference comes at the culmination of two substantive contributions to the field of audience research at The University of Sheffield; the Understanding Audiences for the Contemporary Arts (UACA) study and the Modern Fairies project. The conference will also celebrate the publication of a Cultural Trends special double issue on 'Audience Data and Research' and launch a sector-facing handbook from the UACA project. It will feature sharing sessions from the two research projects and papers from contributors to the special issue.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Contributors are encouraged to present their work to a broad audience, so it can be readily understood by industry professionals, arts practitioners, policy-makers and the general public, as well as academics. Proposals are invited on the following themes:
- Considerations of how audiences find meaning in the works that they see, and the relationship this has to the artists' intended meaning
- Artist and audience communication, and ways in which the audience can feed into the creative process
- The place of cultural intermediaries (which could be artists or arts managers) in shaping audience experience
- Reflections on collaborative audience research, considering the role of partners and gatekeepers, means of knowledge exchange and collaborative learning.
- Innovative or emerging audience research methodologies, how can we make our research accessible and meaningful to participants?
- How audience research might better drive sectoral change and impact on arts policy
Papers addressing these themes are especially welcome, but the committee will consider any submissions relating to audience research and arts audiences today.
We are seeking proposals for:
- Papers (20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions)
- Collaborative presentations (or combination of two papers, one from an academic and one from a practitioner they work with)
- Panels (3 or 4 linked papers around a theme, totalling 1.5 or 2 hours)
- Round tables (3 or 4 shorter presentations, around 15 minutes each, followed by a chaired discussion, totalling 1.5 or 2 hours)
- Lightning talks (7-minute unscripted talks, usually accompanied by slides)
- Posters
- Films or other media presentations
The conference will also include PGR panels and workshops from the board of Cultural Trends; a separate call for papers for will be announced shortly.
Please send proposals to sparc@sheffield.ac.uk including: an abstract (250 words), your name, institutional affiliation (if any), email address, short biography (100 words) and any special AV requirements.
Deadline: 7th January 2019
Contributors notified by the end of January

Fwd: TISMIR Journal Launch and Call for Papers
Dear colleagues,
It brings us great pleasure to announce the launch of the first issue of TISMIR, the Transactions of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval, https://transactions.ismir.net/
TISMIR was established to complement the widely cited ISMIR conference proceedings and provide a vehicle for the dissemination of the highest quality and most substantial scientific research in MIR. TISMIR retains the Open Access model of the ISMIR Conference proceedings, providing rapid access, free of charge, to all journal content. In order to encourage reproducibility of the published research papers, we provide facilities for archiving the software and data used in the research. The TISMIR publication model avoids excessive cost to the authors or their institutions, with article charges being less than the ISMIR Conference registration fee. You can read more about the motivations for the launch of TISMIR and our envisioned perspectives for TISMIR's future in Ubiquity's interview with the Editors-in-Chief here.

The ISMIR Board is happy to announce the launch of the Transactions of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval (TISMIR), the open-access journal of our community.
TISMIR (http://tismir.ismir.net) publishes novel scientific research in the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR), an interdisciplinary research area concerned with processing, analysing, organising and accessing music information. We welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, musicology, cognitive science, library & information science, machine learning, and electrical engineering.
TISMIR is established to complement the widely cited ISMIR conference proceedings and provide a vehicle for the dissemination of the highest quality and most substantial scientific research in MIR. TISMIR retains the Open Access model of the ISMIR Conference proceedings, providing rapid access, free of charge, to all journal content. In order to encourage reproducibility of the published research papers, we provide facilities for archiving the software and data used in the research. TISMIR is published in electronic-only format, making it possible to offer very low publication costs to authors' institutions, while ensuring fully open access content. With this call for papers we invite submissions for the following article types:
Article types
Research articles must describe the outcomes and application of unpublished original research. These should make a substantial contribution to knowledge and understanding in the subject matter and should be supported by relevant experiments.
Overview articles should focus in detail on specific aspects of MIR research. Overview articles will provide a comprehensive review of a broad MIR research problem, a critical evaluation of proposed techniques and/or an analysis of challenges for future research. Papers should critically engage with the relevant body of extant literature.
Datasets should present novel efforts in data gathering and annotation that have a strong potential impact in the way MIR technologies are exploited and evaluated.
If the paper extends or combines the authors' previously published research, it is expected that there is a significant novel contribution in the submission (as a rule of thumb, we would expect at least 50% of the underlying work - the ideas, concepts, methods, results, analysis and discussion - to be new). In addition, if there is any overlapping textual material, it should be rewritten.
Review process
The journal operates a double-blind peer review process. Review criteria include originality, consideration of previous work, methodology, clarity and reproducibility.
Publication frequency
The journal is published online as a continuous volume and issue throughout the year, following an open access policy. Articles are made available as soon as they are ready to ensure that there are no unnecessary delays in getting content publicly available.

JPME: Call for papers for a special issue on modern band
Journal of Popular Music Education
Call for papers for a special issue on modern band
Guest Editors: Ann Clements and Clint Randles
Modern Band is a stream of music education that broadens the repertoire and instrumentation typically found in school-based instrumental programs in the United States. The repertoire of modern band includes rock, rap, metal, reggae, EDM, county, and other genres as they emerge. Modern band instrumentation includes guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, vocals, ukulele and a full range of hardware and software technologies.
Modern Band in Higher Education
Modern band is expanding rapidly in higher education. Over 40 colleges and universities have include Modern Band in a college course syllabus. Lebanon Valley College now offers a graduate certificate in modern band and the University of Kentucky offers a summer Modern Band Institute. In the past four years, more than 60 colleges and universities have hosted modern band workshops, and several Higher Education institutions are also purposely placing their music education student teachers in schools with modern band programs.
Little Kids Rock
The term "modern band" has been popularized by Little Kids Rock (LKR), a non-profit organization that provides instruments, curriculum and professional development to K-12 and collegiate educators. A number of school districts, including some of the nation's largest public school systems have adopted modern band programming by making it an official part of their music programs and are working closely with Little Kids Rock, state governments and other funders to help make modern band available to children throughout their schools.
This special issue of JPME invites colleagues to submit critical, empirical, descriptive and philosophical papers on topics including, but not limited to:
· Modern band ensembles in K-12 contexts
· Modern band and pre-service music teacher education
· Songwriting and improvisation in modern band ensembles
· Professional development in/and modern band
· The Modern Band Fellowship
· Music as a Second Language
· Diverse approaches to facilitating modern band ensembles
· Critiques of Modern band
· Little Kids Rock- opportunities and challenges
Scholarship from and across all relevant research methods and disciplines is welcome. Please submit manuscripts of between 6,000 and 8,000 words (double-spaced, Times New Roman, font size 12, including references) by January 1, 2019. You can submit your paper through the
JPME website. Please refer to JPME submission guidelines and Intellect style guide when preparing a submission. Less traditional format submissions are also welcomed for the perspectives and practices section of the journal.
