Description
The Listening Experience Database Project Conference 2018
“The experience of listening to music: methodologies, identities, histories”
6-7 March 2018, The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK
Following on from our inaugural conference in 2015, the Listening Experience Database project team is pleased to announce that registration is open for the second project conference.
The Listening Experience Database (LED) Project www.open.ac.uk/Arts/LED is detecting evidence of personal experiences of listening to music, and gathering them in a database with the aim of establishing an evidential base for the exploration of the way music has impacted on people in the past.
The impact of music on individuals has been studied in different ways by psychologists, anthropologists, ethnomusicologists, social scientists, social and cultural historians and musicologists, and this conference aims to bring together several of these perspectives and methodologies.
Our keynote speakers are Professor Stephanie Pitts and Professor Dave Russell.
