Mediatized Music

Humboldt-Universität hosts international conference of the Study Group “Music and Media”

Music plays an important role in media, both in old and certainly in new media: commercials, games, films, ring tones and the like. The other way around, media play an increasing role in music. They have changed the compositional process and characteristics of style; media severely influences performances, composing techniques as well as means of recording and visualizing music.

International conference by the Study Group “Music and Media”
from June 25 until June 27
at the Institute of Musicology and Media
Am Kupfergraben 5, 10117 Berlin, room 501

The Study Group “Music and Media” intends to seek, to examine and explore the theoretical and philosophical consequences of mediatized music. At the international conference taking place at Humbold’s Institute of Musicology and Media, experts from 10 different countries will engage in roundtables and workshops.
