2nd Conference on AI Music Creativity (MuMe + CSMC)
18.-22. July 2021
The second joint Conference on AI Music Creativity brings together two overlapping research forums: The Computer Simulation of Music Creativity Conference (est. 2016) and The International Workshop on Musical Metacreation (est. 2012). The objective of the conference is to bring together scholars and artists interested in the emulation and extension of musical creativity through computational means and to provide them with an interdisciplinary platform in which to present and discuss their work in scientific and artistic contexts.
The 2021 Joint Conference on AI Music Creativity will be hosted by the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) of the University of Music and Performing Arts of Graz and held online. The five-day program will feature paper presentations, concerts, panel discussions, workshops, tutorials, sound installations and two keynotes.
Further details can be found below and on the conference website: https://aimc2021.iem.at/
# Conference theme
The theme of AIMC 2021 is: Performing [with] machines. The dual meaning of this title hints towards an understanding of the machine as a performing agent in a human-machine partnership. By putting the emphasis on creative human-machine partnerships in performative contexts, this theme aims to encourage artistic and scientific contributions that deal with the different ways in which musicianship, authorship and performership are challenged, extended and redefined in the era of AI.
# Call for Papers
We invite submissions of full papers, work-in-progress papers and demos on topics related to AI Music Creativity. For the first time, our call for papers includes a “piece and paper” category, for papers linked with a music submission.
# Call for Music
We invite artistic submissions that deal with topics related to AI music creativity, involving machines, machine learning and dealing with topics related to agency. We especially encourage and promote submissions that address AI from diverse technical and non-technical as well as critical angles with regard to questions of gender, performance, ecology and aesthetics.
# Call for Workshops and Tutorials
We welcome the submission of workshop and tutorial proposals related to the conference topics. Selected workshops will be held online and take place on the first day of the conference (July 18th).
# Important dates
Submission deadline: 1. April 2021
Acceptance notification deadline: 1. May 2021
Camera-ready deadline: 1. June 2021

ICAD 2021
Call for Submission of Papers and Extended Abstracts
26th International Conference on Auditory Display
Virtual Conference
25-28 June 2021
https://icad2021.icad.org
THEME: “SOUNDING BOARD”
In addition to being part of the resonating chamber in a musical
instrument, the term sounding board is also a metaphor for a channel
through which ideas are discussed and disseminated. ICAD, established in
1992 has, through its 25 conference meetings, shared over 1,150 papers with
the auditory display community. This year, the conference will offer itself
as a sounding board for the community, allowing time to pause and reflect
on the history of auditory display research, review how research has
changed throughout the years, and discuss future areas of inquiry as well
as how to adapt our research during these challenging times. Therefore, the
ICAD 2021 committee is seeking full papers, abstracts, concert pieces,
demos, installations, workshops, and tutorials from across the full
spectrum of auditory display research and practice. From discussions and
reflections on the history of auditory display research with a view to
generating new ways of thinking about how we as practitioners should go
about things, to speculative ideas or news of late-breaking work,
submissions are sought across all the categories. We are particularly
interested in hearing from researchers who have never considered themselves
to be part of the community before, or whose work sits at the periphery of
the field.
Important Dates:
Full Papers - Late March
Abstract Only - Early April
Workshops/Tutorials - Mid-April
Live Performances/Installations - Mid-April
Doctoral Consortium/Thinktank - Mid-April

instructions, and additional conference information please visit

About ICAD:
First held in 1992, ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with
relevance to researchers, practitioners, artists, and graduate students
working with sound to convey and explore information. The conference is
unique in its specific focus on auditory displays and the range of
interdisciplinary issues related to their use. Like its predecessors, ICAD
2021 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or
affiliation requirements.

Hi guys,
I would like to share my recent work PdWebParty which is a web app that
allows you to run Pd patches in a web browser and share them by using a web
link. As the name implies, it is inspired by PdDroidParty and PdParty.
Currently, the app only supports Bang(bng), Toggle(tgl), Canvas(cnv), and
Comment but other objects will be added soon.
You can try the app from https://pdwebparty.herokuapp.com/
For more information, visit https://github.com/cuinjune/PdWebParty
Thank you!
Best,
Zack

Hi, get it all from deken, changes described in:
- https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases/tag/cyclone_0.5-5
- https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v1.0-beta34
I've missed a couple of announcements from the last updates of ELSE but I'm
just updating it more frequently these days because I'm teaching a course.
Look for previous versions for other changes. As for cyclone, I hope this
is the last fix so we can finally get all capital letters aliases working
:)
cheers
Hi Everybody,
Here's an upcoming Networked Performance Livestream using a *hacked* Netty McNetface patch for 9 channels (before Miller bumped it up to 12 :) for the Wexner Center crew to tap the audio and mix in the video feed for streaming.
Tune in via the vimeo link on this website: https://wexarts.org/performing-arts/wexep-sonic-arts-ensemble

ps. the netty hack is here for now https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RpDCP0bEOjwCu93mNZiGM0OF0dlSv4vF
(be warned, it is a more colorful experience than the original Netty, but it is still vanilla)
