IASPM (ANZ Branch) Conference, 2014

 Conference Title: Into the Mix: People, Places, Processes

 Conference Dates: 5-7 December 2014

 Venue: St David Theatre Complex, corner of St David and Cumberland Streets, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand

 Organizing Committee: Jen Cattermole, Henry Johnson and Oli Wilson

 The theme of this year’s conference is “Into the Mix”. The “mix” is both literal (referring to various stages in the production of popular music, as well as important creative processes such as sampling, remixing and DJing) and an analogy for all types of musical hybridities and encounters, the fluid nature of musical meanings and musical experiences, and the fluidity or movement of ideas, sounds and peoples. The notion of the “mix” is defined broadly; it might involve popular music production processes, a creative setting, or another space where people, places and processes are foregrounded as part of an interpretive cultural analysis. Contributions might be case-study analyses underpinned by historical, ethnographic or critical enquiry, or focused entirely on theoretical orientations addressing music production, as well as hybridity and related topics.

 Papers will be considered that address specifically the theme of the conference in connection with one or more of its broad definitions. Questions and themes paper presenters may wish to address include, but are not limited to:

•             How are mixes interpreted and valued by different people(s) in different places?
•             Which processes (creative, social, economic etc) are involved in creating mixes?
•             What aesthetics underpin the production of mixes or cross-cultural musical collaborations?
•             What are some of the cultural, social, political and/or economic effects of mixes?
•             How are people(s), places and processes represented through the mix?
•             How do movement, process and encounter influence popular music production?
•             How does mixing enable and/or reflect fluidity, hybridity or eclecticism?
•             How might cultural space(s) or place(s) be maintained or (re)constructed in the musical mix?

Keynote Speaker: To be advised.

 Conference Activities: A variety of conference activities are planned, including a jam night and conference dinner.
