CALL FOR PAPERS: 

The technical developments concerning electronic music and concrete music along with an interest that the musical avant-gardes of the XX century show in exploring new musical dimensions (Varèse, Stockhausen, Xenakis, Nono) have in the concept of spatial dimension a fertile area of expressive development.  Hearing is the sense that comprehends better the temporary experience on space. Sound expression provides us a dynamic image of every place, in which space works as a soundbox for the daily situations that lead to that space. Sound and space have developed a fertile but incomplete dialogue that embraces a multiplicity of "spaces of knowledge". Traditionally, space in music is located in the abstract side of the score (pitch, melody, movement) or in the merely evocative one (evocation of landscapes, nature, cities). This conference seeks to offer a forum of wide and deep debate around the concept of sound space sharing knowledge between temporary arts and spatial arts. The objective deals with comprehending areas of knowledge in a new scope, so much scientific as artistic around this field. We start with a basic concept, that one of sound space to outline a complete musicological analysis of sound as a phenomenon, in an approach to stablish a meeting point among disciplines with a shared objective: dealing with the complexity of sound by integrating the aesthetic conceptions connected with contemporary music with the scientific-technical contributions developed by a variety of disciplines implied in the interaction space-sound, from Physics to Architecture, along with Electroacustics, or Audiovisual Media. Music as a fact, from this perspective, links and integrates artistic creation with scientific and social phenomena. The conference includes scientific sessions (lectures, communications and round- table sessions) to be developed in the campus of UAM, and two acousmatic concerts in Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS). This Conference takes part of the results of the Research Project entitled Implicaciones espacio-temporales de la creación musical (Spatial and temporary implications of musical creation) (Ref. HAR2011-23318. Plan Nacional de I+D+I).  Main researcher: Jose Luis Carles Arribas. Lasting: 3 years.
