Fwd: Invitation to participate: measuring perceived tension in music
Dear all,
We are building a computational implementation of musical tension and are looking for hearing unimpaired volunteers to evaluate it.
We invite you to participate in a listening study which involves recording the degree of tension you perceive while listening to short clips of music.
The study will take 10-15 minutes to complete.
We recommend using a laptop or PC, rather than a mobile phone, with a mouse or similar device.
You can access the study at:

Many thanks.
Best wishes,
Germán Ruiz-Marcos

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Wireless acoustic sensor networks
- Detection and classification of sounds in acoustic sensor networks
- Visualization and Sonification of acoustic sensor networks
- Ecoacoustics
- Privacy and security in acoustic sensor networks
- Smart Musical Instruments
- Musical haptics for the Internet of Musical Things
- Participatory live music performances
- Networked music performances
- Music education applications for the Internet of Musical Things
- Intelligent music production in Internet of Musical Things contexts
- Ubiquitous music
- Web Audio for the Internet of Sounds
- Spatial audio for the Internet of Sounds
- Sonification for Internet of Sounds applications
- Protocols and exchange formats for the Internet of Sounds
- Improving accessibility and inclusiveness within the Internet of Sounds
- Open audio databases for Deep Learning and Data Mining
- Challenges in the management and delivery of large audio databases
- Visualization, access and indexing of audio databases
- Cloud-based services for musical and audio applications
We consider contributions in the form of a full paper (min 5 pages, max 8 pages), a poster paper (min 2 pages, max 4 pages), or a demo proposal (max 2 pages). Authors are welcome to submit to all three tracks. We encourage the submission of work in progress as well as more mature work.
The event is being run alongside the Audio Mostly Conference (https://audiomostly.com/) an interdisciplinary conference also hosted at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science of University of Trento between 1 and 3 of September. The participants to the workshop will have access to all the sessions of the Audio Mostly conference.

IFA: May The Arts Bring You Hope And Healing In 2021
May The Arts Bring You Hope And Healing In 2021
Many of us are glad to bid farewell to 2020 - a year that took away so
much that was precious to us. We lost friends, freedoms, certainties,
and the warmth of contact. Grappling with these many griefs, we have
somewhat hurtled down the last few days of December, hoping that the
beginning of yet another random cycle of time will bring with it hope
and peace. Many are counting on the vaccine, some on the disease to
reduce its ferocity, and others on the generosity of the universe to
allow us the strength to continue our journeys.
In all of this, at IFA, we have held on to each other and continued to
do our best for the arts and culture communities that we are committed
to serving. If we reflect on what we have learnt, three things stand
out. Firstly, as human beings, we have a huge capacity for courage,
empathy and compassion that we must employ on our ordinary days as
much as we do when faced with trying times. Secondly, the pandemic has
thrown away our blindfolds to the inequalities in the world that stare
at us asking questions we must collectively imagine answers for.
Lastly, artists once again have come out as healers of a broken world
and hope makers of the future, offering joy and solace to all those
feeling lost and alone during these trying times.
We share these learnings with you because you too have touched us with
the art you create and the kindness of your spirit – with messages of
encouragement, generous contributions, and undying faith in the work
we do. We hope the New Year is one that brings us the healing touch we
need and may we continue to work hard for an equal and just world.
