Subject: Deadline Approaching: Submissions to CMJ Special Issue on HCI

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
