Before heading out on vacation, MIC Norway has posted a round-up of transcriptions and notes from the 'Music Information Beyond Politics, Market, and Media' conference: http://www.mic.no/mic.nsf/doc/art2004070912004057964293
There's quite a few interesting topics addresseed there that appear to be worth looking into, especially if you're curious about the subject of cultural identity in an increasingly international world (and marketplace). It is definitely interesting to read about how Norway (and the rest of Scandinavia) tackles all the issues surrounding the globalisation of the art world.
