This weekend, we’ll get to hear from four beatmakers and music producers about how they produce new, catchy rhythms using their own unique ways. We’ll learn the breakdown of a beat, the tools and equipment they use, and ways they put their beats out into the world.
We will be joined by:

Azar – Lo-fi and Hip Hop Producer
Shine Robbins – Electronic Artist, Music Producer
Alianna – Music Artist (Vocalist/Producer)

Music Studies and the Anthropocene: Ruptures and Convergences
2022-05-21 00:00 UTC | NSW
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
