We are pleased to announce the Inaugural Symposium “Why More-Than-Human Musicking Now?” of the ICTMD Study-Group-in-the-Making on Multispecies Sound and Movement Studies. The conference seeks to highlight the integration of other-than-human voices and sonic ecologies into our academic, artistic, and performance research, as well as interactions on a shared planet.
In an era marked by ecological challenges, cultural shifts, and technological advancements, it is important to (re)consider our understandings of music and sound within multispecies contexts. From indigenous communities to urban settings, from natural habitats to digital realms, the ways in which humans engage with other species through music and sound offer ground for exploration and dialogue. Scholars and artists from diverse disciplines will contribute to our symposium.
