Another call for scores
(this one might have an Esperanto angle)
Greetings from Singapore! ICMC2003 will take place in this Lion City from
September 29 to October 4, 2003. The deadline for music and paper
submissions is March 1, 2003.
While in the last century we had experienced the benefits of the narrowing
of gaps in worldwide communication and the bringing together of world
cultures, one of the unexpected results of the process was the creation of
barriers. For some, the rapidly changing landscape presented too fast a
change in well-established traditions and cultures, and they who live in
these societies set up boundaries to stem the erosion of their way of
life. Though there are valid reasons to believe so, it need not be the
case, especially in music.
This year’s conference theme, Boundaryless Music, celebrates music without
barriers of cultures or genres, without the prejudices of the traditional
or the contemporary perspective, without discrimination against the old or
the young. We cannot totally remove all barriers, but we can make them
more permeable to the flow of information, ideas, resources and energy.
Celebrate an open and sharing environment, experiment with new processes
and technologies, and cultivate new approaches to learning and teaching;
all of which involve interconnected processes instead of isolated ideals.
Boundaryless Music invites all to celebrate a common vision and an
encompassing human spirit in music making.
