AUSSCHREIBUNG - CMJ Special Issue on HCI -- Call for Submissions

From: Michael Gurevich
Date: July 3, 2009 12:19:16 AM GMT+02:00

Computer Music Journal (MIT Press) is calling for submissions for a 
special issue on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in music, guest 
edited by Michael Gurevich of the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Queen's 
University Belfast.

The availability of powerful, low-cost sensors and embedded hardware 
that can control real-time audio has facilitated the rapid growth of 
digital computer interfaces used in music performance. The New 
Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) conference is already coming 
up on its 10th year since its humble beginning as a workshop within 
the 2001 CHI conference. NIME has become a discipline in its own 
right, one whose enthusiastic growth has rendered the CHI platform an 
inadequate container; however, as a primarily practice-led discipline 
NIME has as great a potential as ever to inform, and be informed by, 
HCI.

Accordingly, this issue will step back and view interactive music 
performance through the lens of HCI. Submissions should report on 
original research in HCI or allied disciplines (design, cognitive 
psychology, mechanical engineering, etc.) that is materially relevant 
to computer music, or vice versa. Papers should make this connection 
explicit, and therefore co-authored submissions between HCI and 
computer music researchers or practitioners are particularly encouraged.

Topics may include (but are not limited to):

-novel interaction techniques
-design theory or frameworks
-human performance
-evaluation methods
-tangible representations of musical parameters
-audience cognition of interactive performance
-design case studies
-performers’ or composers’ reports that relate to HCI

Submissions that document a design, performance or composition must 
clearly advance a theory that is applicable to wider practice.

Submissions will be subject to peer review and should be received by
September 30, 2009.

Submissions and queries should be addressed to Michael Gurevich
