The 11th International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary
Research (CMMR) Music, Mind, and Embodiment will take place in
Plymouth, UK on 16-19 June 2015.

Plymouth is a vibrant ocean city with a global history which stretches
back hundreds of years. The symposium will include a series of
concerts, a satellite workshop on Music Neurotechnology, and an
unforgettable boat cruise and banquet trip around the iconic Plymouth
Hoe from the Barbican
Harbour, site of the Mayflower Steps (portrayed in the logo above),
from which the Pilgrim Fathers left England to settle in North America
in 1620.

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) is
hosting the symposium on campus in the center of Plymouth, in their
newly completed multi-million pound headquarters, "The House", which
includes a multichannel diffusion suite and full scale auditorium for
concert
performances.

*Music, Mind, and Embodiment*

This year, we encourage the submission of contributions on the theme
of Music, Mind, and Embodiment. The notion of mind and embodiment is
important in any field related to sound and music and is therefore
well adapted to this interdisciplinary conference, since it can be
studied from different standpoints spanning from physics to perceptual
and cognitive considerations, and from scientific to artistic
approaches.

Some central questions of interest in this context are (but not
necessarily restricted to) :

How to identify perceptually relevant signal properties linked to
music (for example, neurophysiologically or biologically influenced
music creation, performance, or analysis?)
How to define new timbre descriptors that characterise perceptual or
emotional characteristics?
What is the link between mind and embodiment in musical performance,
interpretation, and improvisation?
How can gesture and embodiment be used as a control signal for music
generation, sonification, and performance?
How can multiple modalities be characterised in interdisciplinary
musical contexts (vision, audition, kinesthetic, bio- and neuro-
informed approaches)?

Contributions on other topics as described in the call for
contributions are also welcome. Submission deadline is February 27th
2015.
