The Center for Black Music Research is proud to announce a new blog series,
“Depth Sounding,” a platform for short-form scholarship that spans the
music—sound continuum of the African diaspora. The essays in this series
are intended for a wide audience, including the educated public as well
as non-specialist academics. We welcome contributions on any aspects of
black sound and/or music, including:
- histories, from local to global
- sketches of emerging practices and genres
- reviews of new works of art and scholarship
- interviews with artists and scholars
- cultural and urban soundscapes
- archival research and studies
- critical essays, cultural commentary, and
personal histories
“Depth
Sounding” seeks to be a space for up-to- the-minute thought and one in
which authors can experiment with format, media, content, argument
construction, etc. in ways that privilege or more fully integrate sound.
Contributions or proposal ideas may be submitted to cbmrblog@colum.edu.
During the course of its creation and installation, FREE/PHASE,
a public sound installation commissioned by the CBMR of media artists
Mendi and Keith Obadike, will be a central blog focus. Proposals
exploring that project’s themes (freedom and black music broadly) will
be especially welcome.
