dear colleagues   (my apologies if you get this email more than once)

i am pleased and proud to announce that the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary University of London has been invited to host the 3rd Web Audio Conference. the first two were held at IRCAM and then Georgia Tech.

It will be held from 21-23 August 2017. As well as the main conference, which will include papers, posters, demos, music and art works plus social activities, we expect to offer tutorials, workshops and hacks. more news on this as the plans develop.

we are working right now on the Call for Participation and on keynote speakers, and we hope to announce these soon. in the mean time, do plan on being in London next august. there's lots to enjoy if you plan on coming for a longer stay. and if we're all lucky, it won't even rain!

can you please help and send this to any people you think would be interested?

thanks

Fwd: SIG NOTICE Vocality/Instrumentality 2017

 

 

Hello everyone 

 

I would like to draw your attention to an event taking place in the School of Music, Humanities, and Media at the University of Huddersfield, UK on the weekend of 14-15 January 2017.  

 

Vocality/Instrumentality is a two-day conference, which will provide a platform for papers, lecture recitals, poster presentations, and performances of various kinds that explore the nature of the relationship between voice and instrument.  It will take place in the Creative Arts Building and St Paul's Hall.  This event is an activity of the Huddersfield Centre for Performance Research (HuCPeR), and is further supported by the Department of Music and Music Technology, the University of Huddersfield Researcher Development Fund, the Music and Letters Trust, and the Royal Musical Association.  

 

The weekend will feature a keynote lecture by Professor Lydia Goehr (Columbia University New York), and a performance by the British soprano, Juliet Fraser.  Please visit our website for all current information: https://vocalityinstrumentality2017.wordpress.com/

 

The deadline for proposals is 7 October 2016 and the Call for Participation can be found on the website here: https://vocalityinstrumentality2017.wordpress.com/call-for-participation/

 

We would welcome submissions from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives.  If you would like to suggest an idea less formally to begin with, please feel free to get in touch (kristine.healy@hud.ac.uk).  

 

For students: if you are in the early stages of a research project and would like to make a 10 minute 'Research Statement' presentation rather than a full paper, there will be a session chaired by Professor Daniel Leech-Wilkinson (King's College London) that will provide an opportunity for you to receive feedback on your work and your presentation style.  All musical topics are welcome for this particular session - it doesn't need to relate to the theme directly. 

 

Please share this information widely amongst your networks of friends, colleagues, and students.  Also, I would be very grateful indeed for any help you can offer in circulating the website on social media, if you use it.  The Twitter tag is #vocalityinstrumentality.

 

Best wishes

Fwd: 2nd AES Workshop on Intelligent Music Production: one week left to register

** This list is managed by Dr Evangelos Himonides (UCL), on behalf of
the Society for Education and Music Psychology Research (sempre), and

[apologies if you receive multiple copies]

2nd AES Workshop on Intelligent Music Production: one week left to register
Tuesday 13 September 2016
Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London, UK
http://www.aes-uk.org/wimp/

Registration: http://wimp.eventbrite.co.uk
Registration deadline: Thursday 8 September 2016

Venue: Willoughby Lecture Theatre, Charterhouse Square campus, London, UK
Schedule: http://www.aes-uk.org/wimp/
Proceedings: http://c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/events/wimp2/

Audio Engineering and Music Production are inherently technical
disciplines, often involving extensive training and the investment of
time. The processes involved implicitly require knowledge of signal
processing and audio analysis, and can present barriers to musicians
and non-specialists. The emerging field of Intelligent Music
Production addresses these issues via the development of systems that
map complex processes to intuitive interfaces and automate elements of
the processing chain.

The event will provide an overview of some of the tools and techniques
currently being developed in the field, whilst providing insight for
audio engineers, producers and musicians looking to gain access to new
technologies. The day will consist of a selection of research
presentations, a panel featuring IMP leaders from industry and
academia, and additional posters and demonstrations.
In addition, Bryan Pardo (Interactive Audio Lab, Northwestern
University) and François Pachet (SONY Computer Science Laboratory
Paris) are confirmed as keynote speakers.

The workshop is followed by the monthly lecture of the British Section
of the Audio Engineering Society, open to the public and taking place
in the same room: Philosophy of human and machine creativity in audio
by Andy Farnell.

For more information about the event, please get in touch with the
workshop chairs:
Brecht De Man <b.deman@qmul.ac.uk>
Joshua D. Reiss <joshua.reiss@qmul.ac.uk>
