Music encoding is a critical component for fields and areas of study including computational or digital musicology, digital editions, symbolic music information retrieval, digital libraries, digital pedagogy, or the wider music industry.
The Music Encoding Conference has emerged as the foremost international forum where researchers and practitioners from across these varied fields can meet and explore new developments in music encoding and its use.

Music Studies and the Anthropocene: Ruptures and Convergences
2022-05-21 00:00 UTC
The Music Studies in/and the Anthropocene Research Network invites papers from music theorists, musicologists, ethnomusicologists, and sound studies scholars that seek to develop a musicology in/of the Anthropocene,” the name geologists have given to recognize a new epoch of planetary history defined by human-induced climate and ecosystem change.
Despite increasing interest in studies of music and the environment in recentyears, the Anthropocene as such has received little attention in music studies so far. This relative neglect may be unsurprising, given the epistemological distances that separate areas of geological and musicological inquiry. And yet, the Anthropocene can also alter the ways in which we think about music’s relation to (more commonly studied categories of) nature, landscape, ecology and climate change. With this discussion-based symposium,we hope to establish a set of positions for music scholars that take seriously the demands the Anthropocene places on humanistic scholarship.
Proposals of no more than 300 words will be due on 15 January 2022 and should be submitted to: musicstudiesanthropocene -at- gmail.com
