by Caitlin Rowley

UPDATE: Deadline extended to 26 March 2023

On 16 June 2023, our symposium Music Ex Machina: Methods and Methodologies for Technology-centred Practice-Based Research in Contemporary Music will take place at Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham, Surrey. We’ve just launched the call for papers for this symposium, co-hosted with Technology in Musical Performance (TiMP).

The symposium will explore and reflect upon the new methods and methodologies afforded by cutting edge technologies in creative musical practice, and we are seeking submissions from researchers and artist-researchers working with technologies such as machine learning/AI, AR and VR technologies, motion sensors or capture, instrument building and design, hyperinstruments and wearables. Composers, performers, sound artists, software developers, instrument builders, software developers and others involved in creating works with technology for live performance are all invited to submit abstracts for presented papers.

For full details of the symposium, suggested topics and how to submit your abstract, visit the Call page on our website. Submissions close on 26 March 2023.
