An International Conference


The Music Box and its Reverberations: Technology and Music in India


Inaugural Session at 5.30 pm on 14th January 2015


And 15 - 17 January from 9.30 am- 6.30 pm


The School of Arts and Aesthetics Auditorium, JNU


The conference aims to trace musical experiences in the Indian context as they are mediated by technologies of music production, circulation and consumption. 
Choosing to concentrate on the aural as against the audiovisual (following Ochoa Gautier 2006), we draw upon scholarship from several disciplinary orientations to focus on selected domains of the interfaces between sound socialities and musical technologies. 


Bringing together perspectives from academics and practitioners, papers, roundtable discussions and performances will address the following themes, without being limited to them:


Sonic technologies, aesthetic regimes and the crafting of genres/categories

Technologies, digitization and film music industries

Individuals, institutes and processes of collecting, storing and archiving music

Amplification, circulation and the creation of musical/sonic publics

Enmeshed technologies of the object and listening subject/s and practices

Musical livelihoods, economies and sonic technologies


Each conference evening will culminate in a concert which speaks to a different Indian musical practice.
