Calls for Submissions
From time to time, the Editors have ideas for subjects that might be fruitful for PNM to explore.
Ligeti
Perspectives plans a special feature on this very special composer, which may run in one or more issues of the journal. Inquiries should be sent to the editors of this feature, John Roeder and Clifton Callender, either directly or through the regular PNM channels.
Multi-Media Art and Music
So many contemporary art installations include sound or music, and much contemporary music is produced in some multi-media environment. Articles exploring this territory are welcome.
A Thousand Plateaus
This influential book by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari may be stimulating for thinkers about music, not so much for what this book itself says about music, but in the implications of its approach. Articles relating thought in this area to contemporary music are welcome.
Uncharted Territories
Perspectives is always especially interested in writings that are in some way not like anything else we have published before--about people who make music who have not been discussed before in our pages, or about some music that is new to us but important to the writer, or in general, exploring musical phenomena which have up to now not been given notice in our pages.
Collaboration and Improvisation
The Editors would like to see submissions about recent artistic collaborations, and about the improvisational process--musicians with musicians, musicians with dancers and choreographers, musicians with painters and sculptors, and so on. We are especially interested in articles which illuminate new or strangely successful modes of working together, or which describe artistic results of a particularly simulating nature.
Mathematical Modelling
We welcome submissions which use mathematics to model aspects of music in new and powerful ways, which may prove useful or inspirational for artistic creation. We also welcome reflections on what the musical usefulness of mathematical methods might be.
Fusion
The contemporary Western art music world is increasingly involved in hybridization with the musics of other traditions and cultures, and with various genres of popular music. The layers and degrees of commercialization are increasingly complex, and the relations between commercial and artistic motivations for music-making are dynamic and often ambiguous. We continue to encourage submissions to Perspectives of New Music which expose and explore this world.
