The 6th Sound and Music Computing Conference (SMC) is glad to

Porto at Casa da Música, Porto’s most recent architectural landmark

There will be five concerts at the conference that include a network
performance. Three of the concerts will be at Casa da Música and the
other two at a venue to be announced.
We particularly encourage submissions of works of electronic music
that have a performance aspect to it, such as works for
instrument(s) and electronic music, laptop performances, live
electronic music, live coding, circuit bending, interactive
installations, audio-visual performance, and interactive dance.
The conference concert programme will be selected by curators (Evan
Parker, Nicolas Collins, Pauline Oliveros and Robert Rowe) in
coordination with the Music Chairs (Carlos Guedes and Pedro Rebelo).
The conference will provide a professional ensemble with soloists in
the following instruments: Flute, Clarinet, Saxophones, Double Bass,
Piano and Percussion.
