Morelia, Mexico — November 16, 2008
The Mexican Center for Music and Sonic Arts (CMMAS) is soliciting submissions for Volume I, No. 2 of SonicIdeas/IdeasSonicas, a journal devoted to activities in electroacoustic music and sonic art. This journal will be published both online and in printed format. The aims of the journal are to encourage, develop and disseminate information about activities and developments in the field, and in particular to foster interaction between Spanish and English speaking composers, performers, researchers, and listeners.
The journal is open to all aesthetic and scholarly viewpoints and approaches; We hope to publish novel and challenging perspectives on technology and its influence on music and sound art, and seek to promote serious research and debate on these topics. The journal is aimed at a broad group of readers, including researchers, artists, musicians, composers, performers, and musicologists. We hope that in Sonic Ideas they will find a source of dynamic and up-to-date information, endowed with an intelligent perspective and a direct link to the creative process. Likewise, we hope that it will become a forum within an academic framework while remaining relevant to the interests and projects of its readers.
Authors whose contributions are published assign CMMAS the non-exclusive rights to disseminate their work in every form of media, within legal limits. Authors must posses, and provide proof of such possession with their submission, the legal right to reproduce any secondary copyright materials. Submitted articles may have been previously published.
The journal will publish articles in either Spanish or English; submissions will be accepted in either language, and will be published in the submitted language. Dual-language publication will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. Articles on any aspect of electroacoustic music/sonic art will be considered, as will reviews, analyses, historical studies, tutorials and other pedagogical articles, and studio/regional/festival reports. Other proposals are welcomed. Authors must submit their proposed articles via email or on disc. Documents must be submitted as Microsoft Word documents, including all necessary graphics and musical examples. Audio examples will be considered for the online version of the journal.
The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2009. Authors should submit their proposed material, a brief (ca. 100 word) biography and contact information, including institutional affiliation, if any.
