Before and After Music - proceedings from the 10th international congress of the international projecton musical signification

Devoted to the theme "Before and After Music." ICMS10 has encouraged the discussion and exchange of ideas about both the "archaeology" of music and its after-life. By aiming to transcend recent research on similar themes represented by historical musicology, cultural musicology, and related disciplines, the congress has invoked musical semiotics as a platform for providing a refreshing rethinking of musical worlds and the capacity of music to decode and construct hyman reality from cultural practices to their theoretical conseptualisations.
