Contemporary Music Review (CMR)

Contemporary Music Review is an interdisciplinary forum for research in and about music now. Our themed issues feature articles and essays across a broad spectrum of global contemporary music research as well as reports, bibliographic studies, interviews, scores and translations. Interested guest editors may submit proposals for themed issues addressing any topic in contemporary music studies, including analytical, cultural, environmental, historical, scientific, social, and technological approaches. We only publish themed issues; there are no general issues. Therefore, unsolicited articles that are submited without belonging to an already approved proposal for a special issue are rejected. Since Contemporary Music Review first appeared in 1984, its editors have fostered an open and pragmatic view of the journal’s scope. We seek ambitious, critical and rigorous work on the culture, history, psychology, sociology, politics and aesthetics of contemporary music wherever it occurs and however it may be identified when it is occurring. We also seek to cultivate reflection on musical and musicological responses toward “the contemporary” as a multiple and shifting cultural, ecological, epistemic, historical, sociological and technological condition. Therefore, we especially invite proposals for themed issues that both: 1) contest the globality/locality of and propose alternatives to generic concepts of contemporary music such as “Western Art Music since 1945”; and 2) explore alternative contemporaries in different technological, social, geohistorical, environmental, cultural, biological and aesthetic landscapes. Please get in touch if you are unsure about your topic’s relevance.
