Dear all,
We are pleased to announce a call for music submissions for the 9th
International Symposium on Computer Music Modeling and Retrieval (CMMR
2012). CMMR 2012 will take place at Queen Mary University of London
(QMUL) on 19-22 June 2012. It is jointly organised by the Centre for
Digital Music (QMUL) and the CNRS – Laboratoire de Mecanique et
d’Acoustique (France).
CMMR is an interdisciplinary conference involving fields such as
computer science, engineering, information retrieval, human computer
interaction, digital libraries, hypermedia, artificial intelligence,
acoustics, audio and music signal processing, musicology, music
perception and cognition, neuroscience, as well as music composition
and performance.
This year, for the first time, CMMR is partnering with Wilton’s Music
Hall (http://cmmr2012.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/musicvenue) in East London to
present two evening concerts. The concerts will take place at Wilton’s
during the CMMR conference on the evenings of 20 and 22 June 2012. We
invite music submissions for these concerts, as well as for sound
installations to be set up in the Wilton’s venue during concert
evenings. The conference will also feature poster/demonstration
sessions for which we invite submissions of musical interfaces.

following areas:
