Dear colleagues,
I'd like to aks your help to share info about one new fully paid place
for PhD studies in musicology (03H History and Theory of Arts) at
Kaunas University of Technology. Preliminary theme is "Melodic and
rhythmic of Lithuanian composers. A statistical research of musical
scores". Deadline for aplication and start of studies is mid of
September 2014. We are looking for a candidate with the basic
knowledge in music and informatics/mathematics and interested in
application of statistical methods in musical scores analysis.
Successful candidate will have possibility to join research projects
run in the department as well as the priority to be employed into
university after defending PhD.
For all formal requirements please visit university site:
http://ktu.edu/en/content/doctoral-phd-studies
For any other questions please contact me directly.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Prof. Darius Kucinskas

Fwd: CMMR 2015 - Plymouth, UK. Music, Mind and Embodiment. Announcement and call for contributions
Dear all,
(with apologies for cross-posting)
We are very pleased to announce that 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<http://cmr.soc.plymouth.ac.uk/> (ICCMR) is hosting the
symposium on campus in the center of Plymouth, in their newly
completed multi-million pound headquarters, "The
House<http://www1.plymouth.ac.uk/location/campusdevelopments/PAB/Pages/default.aspx>",
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 (http://cmr.soc.plymouth.ac.uk/cmmr2015/CMMR_2015_call_for_papers.pdf)
are also welcome. Submission deadline is February 27th 2015.
For further details please visit:

Please send any enquiries to:
cmmr2015-chairs@plymouth.ac.uk<mailto:cmmr2015-chairs@plymouth.ac.uk>
We look forward to seeing you next year,
Prof Eduardo R Miranda (conference chair)
Joel Eaton (programme committee)
Dr Duncan Williams (music committee)

Fwd: London International Piano Symposium
LONDON INTERNATIONAL PIANO SYMPOSIUM
13th, 14th & 15th February 2015
Royal College of Music, London, UK.
Welcome to the Art and Science of Piano Performance, an interdisciplinary symposium for the enhancement of teaching and performance in the twenty-first century.
Background
All human beings, according to Oliver Sachs in Musicophilia (2007) ‘perceive music, perceive tones, timbre, pitch, intervals, melodic contours, harmony and (perhaps most elementally) of all rhythm’ (xi). The pianist however, not only takes all these elements to construct music in his or her mind using the auditory systems and the multi-layered neural systems in the brain, but also the motoric system to enact their performance. In an ideal performance, all the elements described here function in a unitary way, but all too often there is an emphasis on the mental rather than the physical activity. This symposium seeks hard evidence based on research at the interface between art and science which demonstrates the importance of a more unified approach to piano performance and/or underpins the skills which are required to perform.
KEY DATES
15th August 2014: Paper/Lecture Recital/poster abstract submission deadline
15th October 2014: Notification of submission decision
Start of LIPS Friday 13th February 2015

Fwd: JOB: Post-doc - Linked Data and Music
JOB ADVERTISEMENT
Postdoctoral Research Assistant - Linked Data and Music
Oxford e-Research Centre, Oxford
Vacancy ID: 113899
We are seeking a Research Associate working on the Semantic Web and
Linked Data technologies for application in the domain of music
consumption and production, specifically for the SLoBR and FAST
projects. These projects share a common purpose in the development and
application of Linked Data to all stages in the digital music
lifecycle. SLoBR (Semantic Linking of BBC Radio: Programme Data and
Early Music), a joint project with the Centre and Goldsmiths
University of London and the BBC, will use linked data to combine
musicological research data with programme information from the BBC
early music show and external resources such as DBpedia. The project
will focus on the use and consumption of this data, developing a web
based User Interface (UI) for navigating related information in the
context of Early Music Show content and generalising these approaches
into tools for similar data reduction, visualisation and exploration
problems in linked data., the project will involve liaison with
musicology specialists at our partner institution and travel to the
BBC in London for regular collaboration sessions. The EPSRC funded
FAST (Fusing Semantic and Audio Technologies for Intelligent Music
Production and Consumption) will pursue radical innovations amidst
challenges driven by the practical needs of end-users throughout the
music industry, with exciting proof-of-concept demonstrators that
collectively form an intelligent music information infrastructure and
include the application of state of the art signal processing and
Semantic Web techniques.
This is a fixed-term post for 2 years in the first instance.
