With the anthology ‘Music & Ritual: Bridging Material and Living Cultures’ (2013), Ekho Verlag launches a new series, Publications of the ICTM Study Group on Music Archaeology. The anthologies always focused around a specific topic. Each volume is composed of concise case studies, bringing together the world’s foremost researchers on a particular subject, reflecting the wide scope of music-archaeological research world-wide. The series draws in perspectives from a range of different disciplines, including newly emerging fields such as archaeoacoustics, but particularly encouraging both music-archaeological and ethnomusicological perspectives.
