According to the conference website, this 10^th anniversary evented is associated with “French laboratories and universities: Laboratoire de Mécanique et d'Acoustique (LMA), Institut des Sciences du Mouvement (ISM), Laboratoire de Neurosciences cognitives (LNC), Laboratoire d’Analyse, Topologie, Probabilités (LATP), Sciences, Arts et Techniques de l’Image et du Son (SATIS), and on the other hand renown music and dance associations: Ubris Studio, n+n corsino, that will take care of the artistic program of the conference. In addition the two industrial partners PSA Peugeot Citroën and Genesis are supporting and actively participating in the event. Participants will also be able to enjoy several additional events and expositions since Marseille is the European Capital of Culture 2013.”

According to the conference organizers, some central questions serve to guide this conference on the theme of “Sound, Music and Motion”:

How to identify perceptually relevant signal properties linked to motion?
How to define new timbre descriptors that characterize perceived motions?
What is the link between a performer's gestures, musical interpretation and perceived motion?
How to control perceived motion for sound design and sonification?
How is motion perceived in the presence of several modalities (vision, audition, kinesthetic)?

I look forward to participating in the conference and giving a presentation at the featured NNIMIPA event:

Welcome to Sociomusicology

For over 15 years (since 2007), this website has offered musings on contemporary society and its music by David G. Hebert, PhD. He is a sociomusicologist specializing in global music education who has held academic positions with universities on five continents. Dr. Hebert is now a tenured full Professor with Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Bergen. There he leads the Grieg Academy Music Education (GAME) research group and manages the multinational government-funded Nordic Network for Music Education, which organizes annual intensive Master courses and exchange of teachers and students across eight countries. He is also an Affiliated Professor with University of the Faroe Islands and an Honorary Professor in China with the Education University of Hong Kong.

Professor Hebert's research applies an international-comparative perspective to issues of pluralism, identity, and cultural relevance in music education, as well as processes by which new music traditions emerge and change - both sonically and socially - as they are adopted into institutions. Born in the 1970s, he is among the most widely-published and globally-active music scholars of his generation (h-index:20; i10-index:30), with professional activities in an average of 8 countries per year across the past decade (2008-2020).
