In the meantime, we will shortly be publishing an exciting preliminary programme for the two-day conference alongside registration details. Watch this space!
We are very pleased to announce our 2013 Conference will be held at Liverpool University at Easter. Please help to distribute our Call for Papers (PDF) and spread the word! Further details will be added here over the coming weeks.
The Ludomusicology research group will be hosting a two day conference on video game audio to take place on the 12th and 13th of April, 2013 at Liverpool University. Building upon the foundation of last year’s successful RMA Study Day, the conference will include research papers and discussion workshops.
The theme of this year’s conference: ‘challenges and innovations’. We have chosen this theme to seek to investigate the challenges that face both game audio practitioners and analysts, and the innovations of technology and scholarship that seek to deal with these challenges. Paper topics may include:
Keynote addresses will be given by Mark Grimshaw (Aalborg University), and William Gibbons (Texas Christian University). A session with industry professionals including Richard Aitken, Production Director at Nimrod Productions, and Stephen Baysted, Composer and Audio Director for UK game development studio Slightly Mad Studios, will also take place on Saturday afternoon.
Organizers: James Barnaby, Jemima Cloud, Michiel Kamp, Tim Summers, Mark Sweeney.
Hosted by Anahid Kassabian, James and Constance Alsop Chair of Music, University of Liverpool.
We will be holding a conference at Easter and are in the process of finalising details, which will be officially announced here next week. To mark the occasion, and to whet the appetite of any newcomers, we include a copy of the RMA Newsletter Report of our 2012 Study Day below.
