This year, I’ve thrown my hat in the ring to present at SXSW Sydney. SXSW is a big conference and festival that aims at sharing new research and industry info to other creatives and the general public. I’ve submitted my research in there in the hopes to meet some more people in this area, share my research, and ultimately get it out to the wider community of composers that exist in this country.

Sessions are chosen through a mix of voting and selection by a judging panel, so I’d really appreciate it if you could go vote for my presentation. Go to this link to register an account and start voting. My submission is called “Developing an ethical framework for the use of “world musics” within film, television, and video games” (it appears on the second page of the Culture, Society & Media subsection for me, at the top). While you’re there, you may want to check out the other applications also and see if any of them catch your fancy.

Thanks for considering, and hopefully I will be able to go and share my experience with you all later in the year.
