Call for music (below) and papers (through conference website) Oct 19-23 2020 @ KTH and KMH, Stockholm, Sweden

We now solicit entries for consideration for an online exhibition during the 2020 Joint Conference on AI Music Creativity (CSMC + MuMe).

Submitted works (video, audio) can be of any style, but must involve the use of computational creativity techniques. Examples include, but are not limited to: reproduction of musical style using machine learning; the evolution of musical structures using interactive genetic algorithms; rule-based systems; systems based on emergence or self-organization; systems that perform music data mining to create remixes, and so on.

Submissions should not be sketches but in their final format and will be judged on their presentability as an online experience. For an example of what kind of format the online exhibition may take, look at the one organized by the NeurIPS 2019 Workshop on Machinee Learning for Creativity and Design: http://www.aiartonline.com/category/music-2019/

Submission process

Please submit to maskold@kth.se (conference music chair):

• a link to the work you wish to present (in its final form)

• an A4-portrait PDF, up to 2 pages, describing your work and the system you are using, and explaining how it relates to the focus of the conference

• a link to any additional documentary material such as audio or video recordings, or online software before the submission deadline

Submissions should not be anonymised.

Selection process

All submissions will be reviewed by independent members of the music selection committee. Once these reviews have been completed the reviewers and the chairs will discuss the submission, and make a final decision. Reviewers will be anonymous to the authors, but not to each other. The final decision lies with the chairs, in consultation with the committee.

About the conference

The 2020 Joint Conference on AI Music Creativity brings together for the first time two overlapping but distinct research forums: The Computer Simulation of Music Creativity conference (est. 2016), and The International Workshop on Musical Metacreation (MuMe, est. 2012). The principal goal is to bring together scholars and artists interested in the virtual emulation of musical creativity and its use for music creation, and to provide an interdisciplinary platform to promote, present and discuss their work in scientific and artistic contexts.

The program will feature two keynotes, research paper presentations, demonstrations, discussion panels, and an online exhibition. Keynote lectures will be delivered by Professor Emeritus Dr. Johan Sundberg (Speech, Music and Hearing, KTH) and Dr. Alice Eldridge (Music, Sussex University, UK).

The event is hosted by the Division of Speech, Music and Hearing, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (KTH) in collaboration with the Royal Conservatory of Music (KMH).
