12TH BRAZILIAN SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER MUSIC
PORTO DIGITAL, RECIFE, PE - BRAZIL
7 - 9 SEPTMEBER 2009
CALL FOR PAPERS
The SBCM - Brazilian Symposium on Computer Music is a biannual event with international recognition in the field of computer music organized by NUCOM, the computer music interest group of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). This 12th edition will be held from September 7th to 9th, 2009, in Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco, at the beautiful northeast Brazilian coast, and is specially dedicated to approaching the relentless universe of new paradigms for making music with computers and electronic gears, bringing up their essentials and trends.
Researchers, scientists, composers, educators, manufacturers, and all concerned with the interplay between music and technology are invited to submit works.
During the symposium there will be speeches by renowned researchers, technical and music paper sessions, discussion panels, and concerts. The program will include, among others, a keynote speech by Miller Puckette (University of California, San Diego), author of Pure Data (Pd) real-time graphical programming environment, a tutorial on mathematical models in computer-aided music theory by IRCAM, and a keynote speech by composer Daniel Teruggi, director of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales at INA (Institut National De L'Audiovisuel, Paris).
We are proud to inform that a selection of the best papers presented at SBCM will be invited to submit an extended version for a dedicated Special Issue of the Journal of New Music Research, and the selected musical pieces will be published with the support of the Electronic Music Foundation (EMF). The program committee will also give a prize for the best student papers presented at SBCM. Papers that have a student as a major author are eligible. Two awards will be given: one for the best technical paper and another for the best music paper. One prize will be a one-year Forum IRCAM subscription.
