It was the annual Music Production symposium at the beautiful Sandburn Hall this week. Students presented papers on their ongoing research areas and discussed a wide range of cultural, social and technological issues surrounding current music production practice. The symposium helps the student researchers refine the work they are preparing for their final year dissertations. Some of the papers discussed were:
- Adam Butler: ‘From Vinyl to Multimedia – How will music be sustained?”
- Chris Readman: ‘Everybody Hertz: An exploration of fact and fiction surrounding the myth of tuning to 432 Hz and the effects it has on the listener’
- Natalie Walton: ‘The development of assistive technology in music therapy’
- Line Høsøien: ‘Issues concerning music and appropriation’
- Ryan Oldfield: ‘MP3s and selling tees: How has the move to distributing music digitally changed how we create, choose and value music ‘
