letter, which should also include the author’s e-mail address.

initiatives; links with means of expression and techniques of the body; tensions
between creation and tradition, invention and homogenization;

- Identification: national identities; nomadism and diaspora; “black” origins of
the tango and the question of metissage; political uses and claims of autonomy;
questions of gender and sexuality;

- Circulation: technological resources in the context of globalization; new
means of broadcasting and their effects on the pedagogy and interpretation of
tango; commercial strategies and alternative networks; the impact of naming
tango as cultural heritage.

The languages of the conference will be French, English and Spanish.

Cash Rules Everything Around Me: Music and Money
2011 EMP Pop Conference at UCLA
Feb 24 – 27, 2011
Los Angeles, California
Jointly sponsored by Experience Music Project and the UCLA Department of
Musicology

“The best things in life are free, but you can give them to the birds and bees,
I need money!” Motown founder Berry Gordy co-wrote it, Barrett Strong sang it,
and John Lennon’s vocal in the Beatles cover  offered a fervent affirmation. By
the time Wu-Tang Clan recorded “C.R.E.A.M.,” however, chasing bucks in pop found
kinship more with high stakes gundowns and teens behind bars.  For this year’s
Pop Conference, the tenth annual meeting and first outside of Seattle, we invite
presentations on a matter Los Angeles knows well:  the relationship between song
and paycheck – or, to invoke the O’Jays hit “For the Love of Money,”  bass line
and bottom line.

Topics can cover any era or style of music and may include, but are not limited
to:

--Selling out:  self-objectification and compromise, but also selling out as
breaking out-- codebreaking and innovation

-- The music industry, past, present, and (?) future, from records to radio and
retail; impresarios in idolatry; the current slump and pop through boom and
bust, affluence and scarcity

--Money, bling, “Life in the Fast Lane,” etc. as a topic in song and discourse:
how different genres view commercialism differently; charity and social
consciousness as rival impulses

--Class as operating force; profitable music and blurred hierarchy, the working
class and “Don’t Get Above Your Raisin’”-- how class-bound assumptions affect
musical valuation

--Los Angeles  in the pop imaginary, a place that has never pretended music is a
solely artistic enterprise

--“Capital (It Fails Us Now)”: payola blues, the pervasive sense of the business
as (to quote Hunter S. Thompson) a “long shallow money trench” and distillation
of capitalism’s inequities

--Globalization and monetization: pop as international product, differing
national and regional approaches to music merchandising

--Patronage: sponsorships, institutions as  support structures for pop, music in
advertising

--Financing musical production: the aesthetics of hi-fi -- as David & David once
sang, “all that money makes such a succulent sound”

The EMP Pop Conference, launched in 2002, joins academics, critics, performers,
and dedicated fans in a rare common discussion. The conference is jointly
sponsored in 2011 by the Department of Musicology at the UCLA Herb Alpert School
of Music and by the Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum and Hall of
Fame. This year’s program committee members are:  Jasen Emmons (EMP/SFM), Robert
Fink (UCLA), Gaye Theresa Johnson (UCSB), writer Maura Johnston, Josh Kun (USC),
Katherine Meizel (Oberlin), filmmaker Jim Mendiola, Ann Powers (Los Angeles
Times), writer-musician Tim Quirk, Jeffrey Rabhan (NYU), and biographer David
Ritz.

Please send proposals of 250 words, with 50 word bio, to organizer Eric Weisbard
(University of Alabama), Eric.Weisbard at gmail.com. Deadline for proposals is
Friday, October 15. Panel proposals, specifying either 90 minutes 120, should
include both overview language and individual proposals/ bios, or overview and
bios only for roundtable discussions. We welcome unorthodox proposals and
proposals aimed explicitly at a general interest audience. Registration is free
for presenters and the public.  For more information, go

You are kindly invited to submit proposals for the Third International
Conference on Music and Minimalism, which will be held from 12-15 October 2011,
at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium).

Keynote speakers will be Louis Andriessen and Kyle Gann.

All scholars in this area are invited to submit papers. The conference welcomes
all papers concerning minimalist music, American, European, and worldwide, as
well as the many subsequent styles it inspired. Relevant topics include, but are
not limited to, the following:

The minimalist ‘core repertoire’ as frequently identified

European minimalisms: the various and often lesser-known minimalist and
post-minimalist contributions from across Europe: Louis Andriessen, Gavin
Bryars, Hans Otte, Eliane Radigue, Karel Goeyvaerts, Zoltan Jeney, Steve
Martland, …
Especially encouraged are papers on crucial but less public figures such as Tony
Conrad, Phill Niblock, Jon Gibson, Rhys Chatham, Julius Eastman, Terry Jennings,
and so on.

Minimalist music in opera and music theatre

Minimalism today: how is minimalism, almost half a century after its historical
‘birth’, reflected in the recent musical output?
Both continued minimalist concerns from longtime minimalist pioneers, and –
particularly – the reception of minimalist aesthetics and composition techniques
among younger generations of composers are welcomed here. (See also the remark
about lecture-recitals, below)

The significance of minimalist and post-minimalist music as cultural practice

Aesthetics/listening/analysis: discussions of the particular ways in which
minimalism invites listening attitudes and their impact on music analysis

Contributions are welcomed in the form of individual papers (20 minutes).
Abstracts containing a maximum of 500 words should be sent as email attachments,
by January 17, 2011, to 3rdminimalism[at]gmail[dot]com

The conference is also eager to present lecture-recitals, including the
possibility for composers to present their own minimalism-related work. Those
considering to submit a proposal for such a lecture-recital are strongly
encouraged to contact Maarten Beirens ( 3rdminimalism[at]gmail[dot]com ) as soon
as possible in order to discuss their plans informally, prior to submitting a
proposal.

More information will be posted on the conference website:
