International Conference on Music and Sounds
13 June 2020
St Anne's College, University of Oxford
organised by London Centre for Interdisciplinary Research
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the
imagination and life to everything.”
Plato
The abilities of music to influence and effect human beings are felt
every day from the music we listen to for motivation, music played when we
work, while we dine, when we shop or while entertaining. Imagine the sensation
we get when listening to a skilful singer hit a passionate array of notes, or a
crescendo in a piece of symphonic music, a touching lyric uttered with a
beautiful melody. Listening to music is the only activity we engage in that
uses the entire brain. The right kind of music, a type that is not disruptive
or one that breaks your concentration has many beneficial effects including
positively influencing intelligence, even stimulating pain reduction responses
and is very healing. More than just the music itself it is in the sound we
hear, sound that is driven by a desire for quality and created by technology.
Thanks to technological advances, there have been great advances in our means
to hear the music in a manner that bathes the listener in sound that is
transportative and immersive.
The conference aims to bring together scholars and professionals and
explore various aspects of Music Studies discussing theoretical concepts as well
