Over and Over
Exploring repetition in popular music
University of Liege, Belgium, 4–6 June 2015
Over and Over: Exploring repetition in popular music aims at
identifying and studying the recent aesthetic and analytical
developments of musical repetition. From the 32-bar forms of Tin Pan
Alley, through the cyclic forms of modal jazz, to the more recent
accumulation of digital layers, beats, and breaks in Electronic Dance
Music (EDM), repetition as both an aesthetic disposition or formal
musicological property stimulated a diversity of genres and
techniques. After decades of riffs, loops, vamps, reiterated rhythmic
patterns, as well as pervasive harmonic formulae and recurring
structural units in standardized song forms, the time has come to give
these notions the place they deserve in the study of popular music.
Since the 1980s, and following on Richard Middleton’s pioneering work
on musematic and discursive repetition or Robert Fink’s Repeating
Ourselves, repetition can no longer be conceived as a single,
over-arching concept. Whether addressed from the angle of musicology,
sociology, music technology, economy or cultural studies, the
complexity connected to notions of repetition in a variety of musical
cultures calls for a reassessment of relevant theoretical frameworks
and discursive approaches. Suitable topics include (but are not
restricted to) the following:
- Theory of repetition, academic discourses on repetition, historiography
- Music analysis, music theory, musical forms
- History and sociology of technology
- Mass cultural theory
- Psychoanalysis and information theory
- Genre studies
- Loops, samples, riffs and remixes
- DIY culture
- Repetition in experimental, avant-garde and ‘Art’ music (20th & 21st
Centuries)
- Reception, discomorphosis
- Sonic ontology of musical repetition
- Repetition in dance and ritual music
Abstracts of no more than 300 words and short biographical notes (of
