art meets science

[Richard Parncutt <richard.parncutt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Reminder: as previously announced on these lists (sorry for any cross
postings), the deadline for submission of proposals to the ART MEETS
SCIENCE session at Toronto 2000, in which scientists and artists
collaborate to generate original insights in music theory and analysis,
is a few days away: 30 April 1999.

(The reason for the early deadline is another deadline: on the basis of
prposals we receive, the session organisers will compile a proposal for
the session as a whole, and submit it to SMT by the end of May.)

Details (as previously distributed) follow:

This email is a CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS for a joint session at Toronto
2000 of the Society for Music Theory (SMT) and the Society for Music
Perception and Cognition (SMPC) entitled

"ART MEETS SCIENCE:
Collaboration between music theorists and music psychologists"

Session coordinators: Richard Parncutt and Steve Larson

The aim of the session is to generate original insights in music theory
and analysis through collaboration between scientists and artists. Each
paper in the session will have dual authorship, whereby one author is a
music theorist (or an academic whose primary qualifications and
publications are in the domain of the arts) and the other a music
psychologist (or an academic whose primary qualifications and
publications are in the domain of the natural sciences). Authors need
not be members of SMT or SMPC.

Proposals for contributions should include the following:
- title;
- authors' names, affiliations, contact details (address, email, tel,
fax);
- a 500-word abstract;
- and a 250-word resume of each author including relevant research
interests & findings.

Proposals should be emailed simultaneously to Richard Parncutt
<richard.parncutt@kfunigraz.ac.at> and Steve Larson
<steve@darkwing.uoregon.edu>. We will prepare a proposal for a joint
session on the basis of contributions received, following SMT guidelines

published at
http://boethius.music.ucsb.edu/smt-list/joint-call.html.

Deadline for proposals: Friday, April 30, 1999.
