The Italian Association of Music Informatics – AIMI, founded in 1981, is a point of reference in Italy for musicians and researchers investigating the relationships between music, science and technology. AIMI, which counts among its associated musicians and researchers of international relevance, organizes every two years the so called CIM – Colloquia on Music Informatics, which represent the most relevant appointment for the scientific and musical debate and within the Italian community of music informatics.

SONIC SYNESTHESIA


The themes of the 2012 edition are multimodality and interactivity. By means of the digital technologies, the different forms of art tend to establish strong aesthetical connexions and cohabitation grounds. In particular sound is more and more present and felt as necessary in any kind of artistic expression. In a recent call for papers by the Leonardo Music Journal, one can read: “Art is getting noisier every day. Whether made by sculptors, video artists, composers, printmakers or installation artists, there’s no question but that “Sound Art” is a genre ascendant.” Sound is integrated in a multimodal sense within the artistic discourse and technology is one among the most effective ways to achieve such a goal. In a similar fashion, nowadays technology steers the emergence of artistic works, where the interaction between machine and performer (or machine and public) becomes increasingly and dynamically related to the body and to what happens in the environment where the work is situated. The idea of embodiment and of developing physical ways of interaction with the machine foster new forms of expression and relationship with the technology, not only in an artistic context but also in our everyday life.

The CIM programme includes scientific and artistic communications, tutorials activities and artistic productions. The scientific and artistic communications will be selected through a Call for papers, and the musical and artistic works through a Call for scores/works. All the submission will be evaluated by a Scientific and a Musical Committee, respectively.

 

Call for papers

Participants are invited to present and discuss the results of their artistic and/or scientific research as an oral communication or a poster.
Furthermore, students and Ph.D. students in Music and Technologies programs are encouraged to present their research projects as work in progress, even if not yet concluded: in this case we do not expect the presentation and discussion of results. This kind of works will be presented as poster and/or demo.

Participants must send their contribution within July 23rd, 2012 as a paper (please, employ the attached templates below) 6 to 8 pages long for an oral presentation, or 1-2 pages long for a poster. Languages can be Italian or English.

_____1 suspended cymbal medium size).

Only works for a single performer and electronics are eligible, i.e.: accordion and electronics or percussions and electronics.
Other instruments are welcome, even in larger ensembles, if entirely provided by the authors.

2. The second call involves works for one or more performers, which employ any kind of New Interface for Musical Expression (NIME).

3. Formats for the submission of video-musical compositions:  video PAL (720 x 576) 4:3  or  16:9 (PAL widescreen), codec MPEG2 or MPEG4 _ audio ST 48kHZ not compressed or compressed.

Formats for the submission of electroacoustic compositions: stereo, 44.1 or 48 kHz,  16 or 32 bit.
Formats for the concert of electroacoustic compositions: 2 to 8 channels, 44.1 or 48 kHz,  16 or 32 bit.

Participants must send their contribution within July 23rd, 2012 a description of the work in the format previewed by CIM (please, employ the template contained in the template folder below: CIM2012_music_template.doc).
