The Call for Proposals is open for the 2025 edition of the European Platform for Artistic Research in Music (EPARM).
The 12th EPARM conference welcomes music researchers, educators, performers and composers to a three-day exploration of artistic research in music at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallinn (Estonia).
Presentations relating to any aspect of Artistic Research in music are welcomed, but the peer review panel will prioritise presentations that give some consideration to one or more of the following:
- Artistic Research that draws on, or brings into a new relationship, different musical fields (such as for example, Electroacoustic Music and Early Music) or contexts (such as for example, academic and health contexts)
- The ethics of artistic practice and Artistic Research (for example, viewing them as sources of ethical decision-making)
- How Artistic Research relates to artistic agency (individual and/or collective) in different settings
- The practical and ethical considerations around Artistic Research that is co-created with other researchers, artists, audiences or the wider public.
To reflect the centrality of performance and musical creation in artistic research, the EPARM conference will also include a special programme of performances and artistic presentations.
Two calls for proposals are now open to the public:
Proposals for parallel sessions
Proposals for a 20-minute presentation (including any performance or examples) followed by 10 minutes of facilitated audience discussion should address a clear question or questions that are rooted in practice.
Proposals for the Performance Programme
Proposals should clearly address the relationship between the proposed performance and the artistic research of which it is an outcome. The performance should include up to 10 minutes of spoken introduction and/or contextualization of the performance with a total presentation time (introduction and performance) of 30 minutes; the performance will then be followed by 10 minutes of facilitated audience discussion. Performance may be live or, if appropriate, presented by means of high-quality video.
Deadline: 4 November 2024
All proposals must be submitted in Word format using the provided template (available below) and should be sent to AEC Events Coordinator Beatriz Laborda at the following email address: beatrizlaborda@aec-music.eu not later than 4th of November.
