Topics
Sound and Music Computing (SMC) is an interdisciplinary field that approaches the whole sound and music communication chain from a multidisciplinary point of view. By combining scientific, technological and artistic methodologies it aims at understanding, modeling and generating sound and music through computational approaches.
Its core academic subjects relate to musicology, physics (acoustics), engineering (including computer science, signal processing and electronics), psychology (including psychoacoustics, experimental psychology and neurosciences) and music composition.
We will welcome contributions related to the broader SMC field:
- Related to Sound:
- Sound Description and Understanding
- Sound Synthesis and Processing
- Related to Music:
- Music Description and Understanding
- Music Generation Modelling
- Related to Interaction:
- Music Interfaces
- Performance Modelling and Control
- Sonic Interaction Design
