The fourth issue (2012) is currently being assembled. The third issue (2011) contains articles devoted to phenomenological investigations of the process of “interactive creation” conducted by listeners of computerized music; the applications of “collective memory” of sounds, whether musical in the conventional sense or otherwise, for constructing “sound-based narratives” of their physical engagements with the public transit system of a particular community; and an innovative educational paradigm for utilizing music as a means of “intercultural education” in the elementary school classroom. The editorial board consists mostly of scholars affiliated with CITAR, though an international involvement is engaged in by scholars from the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Belgium as well. The journal is included in Ulrich’s Directory of Periodicals, and although the contents are not indexed in sources like RILM, the journal is indexed by WorldCat, Mendeley, and Google Scholar.
