We are currently accepting proposals for 20-minute research papers.
While we will consider papers on any topic related to video game audio, the conference themes this year are:
- Canons and curating game music
- Simulation, immersion and “the real” in sound and audio
- Game audio outside games
Please submit your paper proposal (c.200 words) to
ludomusicology@gmail.com by January 31st 2014.
- We also welcome session proposals from organizers representing two to four individuals; the organizer should submit an introduction to the theme and c.200 word proposals for each paper.
- Proposals for papers in alternative formats, such as performances or demonstrations, should be discussed with the conference organizers before the abstract is submitted.
