The Associazione di Informatica Musicale Italiana (Italian Computer Music Association) – 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 – Colloquium on Computer Music, which represent the most relevant appointment for the scientific and musical debate and within the Italian community of music informatics.

The twentieth edition of the Colloquio di Informatica Musicale is organized within the context of the 7th edition of EMUfest, “International Electroacoustic Music Festival”.

LIQUID MUSIC
The Colloquio di Informatica Musicale reaches in 2014 its twentieth edition. This landmark strongly suggests a critical look at our past and a reflection over the far-reaching changes which are currently taken place in our societies. The end of the industrial society, the beginning of the information era so precisely described by Manuel Castells, the new phase of modernity characterized by Zygmunt Bauman with the adjective “liquid” (in contrast with the “solid” one, so tangible and systemic), cannot leave music creation indifferent; and even more so when creation that is so strongly connected to technology and instrumental innovation: in fact, it it precisely this creation that has made fundamental contributions to the transition to the information society. Thus, computer music (now sound and music computing) is one of the leading actors in this context, and this twentieth colloquium intends to be a moment of reflection of the changes currently in progress.
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 June 23rd, 2014 at 11:59 PM CEST, as a paper (please use the attached templates below) 6 pages long for an oral presentation, or 1-2 pages long for a poster. Languages employed can be Italian or English.
Call for scores/works
The present CIM edition includes three calls for:
1. instrumental scores and electronics
2. interactive performances
3. video-musical and electroacoustic compositions
1. The available instruments for the first call are
-
two violins
-
viola
-
cello
-
flute (in C and/or in G)
-
oboe
-
clarinet (B flat cl. and Bs.cl.)

Any combination of the above ensemble is allowed, ranging from solo instrument + electronics up to the entire ensemble.
Other instruments are welcome, even in larger ensembles, if and only if entirely provided by the authors.
2. The second call includes works for one or more performers which may employ any kind of New Interface for Musical Expression (NIME). The instrument/s and performers should be supplied by the author/s in their entirety.
3. Formats for the submission of video-musical compositions: videos in any resolution in either .m4v or .mp4 formats.
Formats for the concert of video-musical compositions:
– Video HD 1080p in .mov format
Formats for the submission of electroacoustic compositions: stereo, 44.1 kHz, 16 o 24 bit.
Formats for the concert of electroacoustic compositions: from 1 to 8 interleaved channels, 44.1 kHz, 16 or 24 bit.
Participants must send their contribution within June 23rd, 2014 at 11:59 PM CEST, with a description of the work in the format previewed by CIM (see below for templates). Languages can be Italian or English. In addition, a manuscript and scanned (or printed) score in pdf format (call 1), an audio-video documentation of the performance (call 2), a complete work in an audio or audio-video file (call 3) are respectively required.
