The goal of this conference is to bring the studies of narrative and music together.
Research into narrative and music is often an either/or story: either music cannot be narrative at all or it definitely is. During this conference, we take the narrativity of music as a starting point, but consider it to be scalar. This allows for more fruitful discussions about narrative and music.
Music itself can tell a story, but it can also add to a story conveyed by other media. This conference also wants to offer a platform for researchers working on intermedial art that includes music in all its shapes and forms. Think of film, radio plays, opera, or games.
