We are very excited to announce that the second keynote address at Ludo 2014 will be given by William Cheng, of Harvard University. Will’s most familiar ludomusicological work to-date is his ethnography, “Role-Playing toward a Virtual Musical Democracy in The Lord of the Rings Online,” Ethnomusicology 56:1 (2012), 31-62. His first book, Sound Play: Video Games and the Musical Imagination, is expected from Oxford University Press just weeks before the conference date.
