Times for the next two (!) meetings are now sorted; we shall again be meeting at Senate House, London, courtesy of the IMR. The dates are Tuesday November 17, 2009, and Wednesday June 9, 2010, both at 2 for 2.30. If anyone has a particular topic they’d like to focus on at either of these meetings, please let me know. Otherwise I have various possibilities in mind.
Meeting 4 – June 10th 2009 – When Doves Cry

Katharine Ellis has very kindly made available a room courtesy of the IMR, and we shall be meeting at 2.30pm on Wednesday, June 10th 2009, in Room ST274/5 (Stewart House/32 Russell Square). Past meetings have focused on matters of theory – what I’d like to do with this meeting is to focus on a specific track, namely Prince’s ‘When Doves Cry’, and ask participants to come along willing to talk about the methodology/ies they would apply to consideration of that track, and with what particular end in view. (I know there’s more than one issue of the recording available – choose whichever you will.)
If you are intending to come, I’d appreciate a quick email, just so that we get a sense of how many to expect. And, as ever, feel free to pass this on to colleagues who may like to attend.

Meeting 3
[posted on Allan's behalf - I've added a link to the chapter that is already published online - Joe]
We shall be holding the third meeting of the colloquium on 26 September, here in Guildford. Please pass this on to any colleagues who may be interested. The last meeting suggested the following reading to form the basis of our discussion, this time on timbre:
Chapter 8: Short Circuiting Perceptual Systems: Timbre in Ambient and Techno Music. pp.156-177 (Cornelia Fales)
Chapter 9: “Heaviness” in the Perception of Heavy Metal Guitar Timbres: the match of perceptual and acoustic features over time. pp.181-197 (Harris Berger and Cornelia Fales)
Both in Paul Greene and Tom Porcello’s ‘Wired For Sound’, Wesleyan UP 2005.
I shall send a reminder nearer the time.
Many thanks, and have a good summer.
Allan
