10– 12 July, University Square Stratford Campus University of East London
Conference on Video Game Music and Sound
The organizers of Ludo2025 are accepting proposals for research presentations.
We welcome proposals on all aspects of sound and music in games.
This year, we are particularly interested in papers that support the conference theme of ‘Rhythm, vibes, and beats’. Papers on this topic may include:
- Rhythm games
- Rhythmic entrainment and gameplay
- Story beats and narrative rhythm
- Vibes, styles, and genres
- Voices and vibes
- Music, sound, and embodiment in games
Presentations should last twenty minutes and will be followed by questions. Please submit your paper proposal (c.250 words) with a short provisional list of literature, and details of any technical requirements, by email to ludomusicology@gmail.com by February 28th, 2025. We aim to communicate the programme decisions by March 17th, 2025. If you require more information, please email the organizers.
We encourage practitioners and composers to submit proposals for showcasing practice as research. The conference will be held in person, but with remote access options available.
Further conference information will be posted on the conference page here.
Organized by Melanie Fritsch, Milly Gunn, Andra Ivănescu, Michiel Kamp & Tim Summers.
