Amplification and Everyday Life
A two-day conference hosted by the Amplification Project at University of Huddersfield.
4th and 5th June 2026, Bronte Lecture Theatres
The Amplification Project, a Leverhulme Trust-funded research project housed within the Music and Music Technology division of the University of Huddersfield, is pleased to host a conference exploring the theme of “Amplification and Everyday Life.” As the first large-scale research project dedicated to the study of amplification, we hope this conference will help to identify and define key issues and debates that are of core importance to the topic and will advance our mission to make amplification into a key subject in the cultural study of music and sound.
As part of our conference event, we are pleased to host Unearthed: An evening of new electronic music and sound art curated by Yorkshire Sound Women Network from 7pm on Thursday 4th June in Richard Steinitz Building.
Unearthed features Yorkshire-based artists who were selected through an open callout by Yorkshire Sound Women Network (YSWN) to create new electronic work for performance or installation. From the intimate to the expansive, each piece here invites us to perceive and reflect upon our world at a heightened level.
Tickets for Unearthed are free but must be acquired separately via the link on our website. Your conference ticket does not provide access to Unearthed.
