Ambient@40: Call for Proposals Deadline Jan 12
by K Wolfe 31 Dec '17

31 Dec '17

*Call for Proposals* Deadline: 17.00 (GMT), Friday 12th January 2018. In the forty years since the release of Brian Eno’s *Music for Airports *the concept and aesthetics of ambient music have proliferated, influencing artists as diverse as Taylor Deupree, Steven Wilson, David Lynch and The Orb, infusing drone, microsound, minimalism and experimental electronic music as well as aspects of contemporary instrumental music. The aim of this two-day conference is to re-appraise ambient music in relation to Eno’s milestone release. Ambient@40 will be hosted in the newly opened Oastler Building at the University of Huddersfield from Friday 23rd to Saturday 24th February. The programme committee invites proposals for: 1. individual papers (20 minute presentation with 10 minutes for questions and discussion); 2. performance and paper (10 minute per performance, 10 minute presentation with 10 minutes for questions). The committee welcomes proposals from academics, independent scholars, research students and practitioners. The conference will run alongside the Electric Spring Festival ( www.electricspring.co.uk) and an evening concert on Saturday 24th February at the Festival will close the conference. The program committee will also invite a selection of those giving papers to write them up in the months following the conference (deadline June 2018) as book chapters for publication in late 2018 / early 2019. *Submission and selection process* All proposals should be submitted to Prof. Monty Adkins (m.adkins(a)hud.ac.uk) by the deadline, Friday 12th January 2018 (17.00, GMT). Individual paper submissions should include an abstract (350 words) and an author biography (200 words). Performance and paper submissions should include a brief overview of the audio presentation including technical resources required (300 words), links to online samples of audio work, an abstract (350 words) and an author biography (200 words). The committee aims to notify proposal authors of its decision by Friday 19th January 2018. Those selected will be asked to confirm their acceptance and technical setup. The full programme will be announced online and booking opened on Monday 22nd January 2018. The Ambient@40 conference registration fee will be £50 (£30 for students/concessions). https://ambientat40.wordpress.com/

Unity + Pure Data + OSC project download
by Freaky DNA 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

I've just released a Unity project for download that includes a Pure Data project with 20+ sfx patches & a generative music patch to create all the game audio using synthesis. It uses OSC for two directional communication with Unity which could be easily added to your own projects. I presented it at AES & MIGS a while back but haven't had enough time with running the school to get it out until now. I've also included standalone versions for PC & Mac so you don't need to install Unity but Pd is needed. Looking to get it working under the Heavy compiler in the future as well to allow for an entirely standalone version. I hope those involved in procedural audio for games will find this project helpful. The full project is available for download from our school's website: http://School.VideoGameAudio.com -Leonard --- http://SoVGA.com

PdCon18~
by Alexandros 08 Dec '17

08 Dec '17

Hi all, For those of you who attended the last PdCon(16) in New York, you might have heard of the rumor that the next one will take place in Athens, Greece, since I had the idea of organizing it with a friend and colleague, at the American College of Greece, where he teaches. Unfortunately that's not going to happen because the College offered only a single room for a single day! And even though I had in mind that it would most likely be necessary to include other venues (for some live gigs etc.), having this little from a place that would potentially offer the main infrastructure of the convention makes the whole idea pretty much not realizable. Not sure what people have to say, but to me, at this point it seems impossible to organize something (bearing in mind my schedule - which none of you know, but it's pretty busy) without getting the help of an institution. Also, I don't know any other institution that would potentially offer space and equipment for something like that. ACG was sort of my only hope. Hopefully the next convention won't happen in ten years from now... Cheers, Alexandros

MUME 2018 - Call For Submissions
by Kıvanç Tatar 08 Dec '17

08 Dec '17

====================== CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ====================== ((( MUME 2018 ))) The 6th International Workshop on Musical Metacreation http://musicalmetacreation.org June 25-26, 2018, Salamanca, Spain. MUME 2018 is to be held at the University of Salamanca in conjunction with the Ninth International Conference on Computational Creativity, ICCC 2018. === Important Dates === Workshop submission deadline: March 2nd, 2018 Notification date: April 30th, 2018 Camera-ready version: May 25th, 2018 Workshop dates: June 25-26, 2018 ====================== Metacreation applies tools and techniques from artificial intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often inspired by cognitive and natural science, for creative tasks. Musical Metacreation studies the design and use of these generative tools and theories for music making: discovery and exploration of novel musical styles and content, collaboration between human performers and creative software “partners”, and design of systems in gaming and entertainment that dynamically generate or modify music. MUME intents to bring together artists, practitioners, and researchers interested in developing systems that autonomously (or interactively) recognize, learn, represent, compose, generate, complete, accompany, or interpret music. As such, we welcome contributions to the theory or practice of generative music systems and their applications in new media, digital art, and entertainment at large. Topics =========================== We encourage paper and demo submissions on MUME-related topics, including the following: -- Models, Representation and Algorithms for MUME ---- Novel representations of musical information ---- Advances or applications of AI, machine learning, and statistical techniques for generative music ---- Advances of A-Life, evolutionary computing or agent and multi-agent based systems for generative music ---- Computational models of human musical creativity -- Systems and Applications of MUME ---- Systems for autonomous or interactive music composition ---- Systems for automatic generation of expressive musical interpretation ---- Systems for learning or modeling music style and structure ---- Systems for intelligently remixing or recombining musical material ---- Online musical systems (i.e. systems with a real-time element) ---- Adaptive and generative music in video games ---- Generative systems in sound synthesis, or automatic synthesizer design ---- Techniques and systems for supporting human musical creativity ---- Emerging musical styles and approaches to music production and performance involving the use of AI systems ---- Applications of musical metacreation for digital entertainment: sound design, soundtracks, interactive art, etc. -- Evaluation of MUME ---- Methodologies for qualitative or quantitative evaluation of MUME systems ---- Studies reporting on the evaluation of MUME ---- Socio-economical Impact of MUME ---- Philosophical implication of MUME ---- Authorship and legal implications of MUME Submission Format and Requirements ================================= Please make submissions via the EasyChair system at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mume2018 The workshop is a day and a half event that includes: -Presentations of FULL TECHNICAL PAPERS (8 pages maximum) -Presentations of POSITION PAPERS and WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS (5 pages maximum) -Presentations of DEMONSTRATIONS (3 pages maximum) which present outputs of systems (working live or offline). All papers should be submitted as complete works. Demo systems should be tested and working by the time of submission, rather than be speculative. We encourage audio and video material to accompany and illustrate the papers (especially for demos). We ask that authors arrange for their web hosting of audio and video files, and give URL links to all such files within the text of the submitted paper. Submissions do not have to be anonymized, as we use single-blind reviewing. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Workshop papers will be published as MUME 2018 Proceedings and will be archived with an ISBN number. Please use the updated MuMe paper template to format your paper. Also please feel free to edit the licence entry (at the bottom left of the first page of the new template). We created a new MUME 2018 template based on AAAI template. The MUME 2018 latex and Word template is available at: http://musicalmetacreation.org/buddydrive/file/mume2018_templates Submission should be uploaded using MUME 2018 EasyChair portal: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mume2018 For complete details on attendance, submissions and formatting, please visit the workshop website: <http://www.musicalmetacreation.org> http://musicalmetacreation.org Presentation and Multimedia Equipment: ========================================== We will provide a video projection system as well as a stereo audio system for use by presenters at the venue. Additional equipment required for presentations and demonstrations should be supplied by the presenters. Contact the Workshop Chair to discuss any special equipment and setup needs/concerns. Attendance ======================================= It is expected that at least one author of each accepted submission will attend the workshop to present their contribution. We also welcome those who would like to attend the workshop without presenting. Workshop registration will be available through the ICCC 2018 conference system. History ======================================= MUME 2018 builds on the enthusiastic response and participation we received for the past occurrences of MUME series: - MUME 2012 (held in conjunction with AIIDE 2012 at Stanford): http://musicalmetacreation.org/mume-2012/ - MUME 2013 (held in conjunction with AIIDE 2013 at NorthEastern): http://musicalmetacreation.org/mume-2013/ - MUME 2014 (held in conjunction with AIIDE 2014 at North Carolina): http://musicalmetacreation.org/mume-2014/ - MUME 2016 (held in conjunction with ICCC 2016 at Université Pierre et Marie Curie): http://musicalmetacreation.org/mume-2016/ - MUME 2017 (held in conjunction with ICCC 2017 at Georgia Institute of Technology): http://musicalmetacreation.org/mume-2017/ Questions & Requests ====================================== Please direct any inquiries/suggestions/special requests to the Workshop Chair, Philippe Pasquier (pasquier(a)sfu.ca).
