Fwd: Full scholarship for Digital Musicology at Oxford Digital Humanities Summer School
We invite applications for a full scholarship (covering registration
and accommodation) for a student attending the Digital Musicology
workshop of the Digital Humanities @ Oxford Summer School. The
scholarship is provided by the Arts and Humanities Research Council's
Digital Transformations Theme. You can read more about the Theme here
<http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/Funding-Opportunities/Research-funding/Themes/Digital-Transformations/Pages/Digital-Transformations.aspx>.
ELIGIBILITY AND APPLICATION
The scholarship is open to anyone registered on a Ph.D (or MPhil)
programme or who has completed their Ph.D no more than three years ago
(i.e. passed their viva examination in May 2012 or later). We are
particularly seeking scholars who are pursuing musicological research
areas (including, but not at all limited to, historical musicology,
ethnomusicology, and music theory and analysis) and who can
demonstrate how digital technology will enhance their
research. Therefore, applications must be in the form of one side of
A4 describing your area of research, your intended use of digital
techniques, and your expected benefit from attending the workshop.
Applications will also be accepted from those who meet the eligibility
criteria and have already registered and paid for the
workshop. However, the scholarship is *not* open to those already in
receipt of external funding sources (i.e. if you are registered and
someone else is paying in whole or in part for your
registration/accommodation/travel/subsistence you are not eligible for
this scholarship).
Applications should be sent by email to <richard.lewis@gold.ac.uk> and
must be received no later than 17:30 GMT+1 on Wednesday 17 June.
SCHOLARSHIP
The recipient of the scholarship will be informed no later than Monday
22 June and will be required to confirm their attendance by Tuesday 23
June. The recipient of the scholarship will also be required to write
a report of the workshop for which we will find a publisher.
The scholarship covers the full registration fee for the Summer School
and the cost of accommodation at St. Anne's College. It will not cover
any further expenses such as travel and subsistence.
DIGITAL MUSICOLOGY WORKSHOP: Applied computational and informatics
methods for enhancing musicology
Dates: 20--24 July 2015
http://dhoxss.humanities.ox.ac.uk/2015/digitalmusicology.html
A wealth of music and music-related information is now available
digitally, offering tantalizing possibilities for digital
musicologies. These resources include large collections of audio and
scores, bibliographic and biographic data, and performance ephemera --
not to mention the 'hidden' existence of these in other digital
content. With such large and wide ranging opportunities come new
challenges in methods, principally in adapting technological solutions
to assist musicologists in identifying, studying, and disseminating
scholarly insights from amongst this 'data deluge'.
This workshop provides an introduction to computational and
informatics methods that can be, and have been, successfully applied
to musicology. Many of these techniques have their foundations in
computer science, library and information science, mathematics and
most recently Music Information Retrieval (MIR); sessions are
delivered by expert practitioners from these fields and presented in
the context of their collaborations with musicologists, and by
musicologists relating their experiences of these multidisciplinary
investigations.
The workshop comprises of a series of lectures and hands-on sessions,
supplemented with reports from musicology research
exemplars. Theoretical lectures are paired with practical sessions in
which attendees are guided through their own exploration of the topics
and tools covered. Laptops will be loaned to attendees with the
appropriate specialised software installed and preconfigured.
SUMMER SCHOOL
The workshop is part of the Digital Humanities @ Oxford annual Summer
School. As well as the workshop programme there are numerous events in
the Summer School including keynote lectures and evening social
events.

Fwd: Call for Papers: "Intelligent Music Systems and Applications" (Special Issue of the ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology)
We are happy to announce the following call for papers:
===========================================================
ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology
Special Issue on Intelligent Music Systems and Applications
http://www.cp.jku.at/journals/tist_imsa_2015_cfp.html
===========================================================
With the advent of music information retrieval (MIR), intelligent
technologies have become an essential part of music systems and
applications. This is evidenced by today's omnipresence of digital
online music stores and streaming services, which rely on music
recommenders, automatic playlist generators, and music browsing
interfaces. A large amount of MIR research leading to intelligent
music applications deals with the extraction of musical and acoustic
information directly from the audio signal using signal processing
techniques. Other strategies exploit contextual aspects of music, not
present in the signal, for example, community meta-data and trails of
user interaction, as found, for instance, on social media platforms.
Recently, also user-centric aspects are being considered, such as
affect, personality, and user context. Intelligent music systems have
also been developed as music creation tools, in which case the
modeling of a composer's preferences or of genre/stylistic features
are required.
Topics of interest
------------------
This special issue addresses all aspects of music information, i.e.,
music content, context, and user aspects. Highest quality research
that has not been published, nor is under review elsewhere, targeting
one or more of the following topics in the context of intelligent
music systems and applications is welcome:
• Music Information Systems
• Music Recommendation and Playlist Generation
• Intelligent Music and Audio Browsing Interfaces
• Games Based on Intelligent Music Analysis
• Automatic Accompaniment or Real-time Tracking of Performances
• Music Synthesis
• Automatic Composition
• Automatic Lyrics Generation
• MIR in the Music Production Domain
• Semantic Content Analysis, Knowledge Extraction, and Music Indexing

Dear all,
On behalf of the general co-chairs Oscar Bandtlow and Elaine Chew, the
publications chair Tom Collins, and the scientific program committee
chaired by David Meredith and myself, I am happy to announce that the
program for the Fifth Biennial Mathematics and Computation in Music
Conference is now online at mcm2015.qmul.ac.uk/?page_id=304.
The conference will take place 22-25 June 2015 at Queen Mary
University of London. The event is co-hosted by the Schools of
Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (Centre for Digital Music)
and the School of Mathematical Sciences, and is promoted by QMUL in
association with the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music,
London Mathematical Society, Institute of Musical Research, and the
EPSRC.
Following a careful peer-review process, this year's program features
posters and talks based on papers on notation and representation,
mathemusical patterns, music generation, deep learning, performance,
geometric approaches, post-tonal music analysis, and scales. Accepted
papers are scheduled to appear in Springer's LNAI 9110.
The keynote speakers are: Gareth Loy (author of the two-volume
Musimathics), Andrée Ehresmann (Université de Picardie Jules Verne),
Emilia Gómez (University Pompeu Fabra), and Ge Wang (Stanford
University & Co-founder, Smule).
Those interested in attending the conference are reminded that the
early bird registration rate of £80 ends on 31 May 2015, and the fee
is £120 thereafter.
In addition to the scientific program, as part of this year's
conference, there will be two concerts that will be free and open to
the public:
