I presented at a music and semiology conference last week – this was essentially a reading of the introduction to the forthcoming Zappa And the And book. Excellent conference, nice city – although I was pleased to get home. Although the proceedings are not uploaded as of yet – details of the conference can be found here

We also have live music based conference taking place in Cardiff at the weekend. Building on a couple of reports I have written on live music over the last couple of years – it is organised by The Live Music Exchange in conjunction with Glamorgan University’s Centre for Small Nations. Details can be found here.

My new job has made finding time to research problematic, but at the moment I am working on a book chapter on music and virtuality. I will however be looking for projects in the new year once the dust settles.

The Zappa book is released in January 🙂
