One-day conference

Musical forms such as noise, extreme metal, performance art, experimental techno, free improv and more take inspiration from both popular and art traditions without being fully identifiable with either.

These forms exist either on the fringes of, or outside, these commercial and cultural mainstreams, both in conventional musical centres such as London and Berlin and further afield, in South America, Japan and China.

A free evening concert performance will be held in the Student Union Bar at Goldsmiths from 6pm-9pm, featuring 3-4 acts whose work fits the themes of the conference. Attendance at the conference and concert will be free, but registration is required. To register e-mail s.graham@gold.ac.uk.

Fringes, Outsides and Undergrounds is presented in association with the Popular Music Research Unit and the Contemporary Music Research Unit at Goldsmiths.
