FOURTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MOBILE MUSIC TECHNOLOGY 2007
6-8 MAY 2007, AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS
http://www.mobilemusicworkshop.org/
Submission deadline: 12th March 2007
Combining music and mobile technology promises exciting future
developments in a rapidly emerging field. Devices such as mobile phones,
Walkmans and iPods have already brought music to the ever- changing
social and geographic locations of their users and reshaped their
experience of the urban landscape. With new properties such as ad hoc
networking, Internet connection, and context-awareness, mobile music
technology offers countless new artistic, commercial and socio- cultural
opportunities for music creation, listening and sharing. How can we push
forward the already successful combination of music and mobile
technology? What new forms of interaction with music lie ahead, as
locative media and music use merge into new forms of everyday
experiences?
This series of annual workshops began to explore and establish the
emerging field of mobile music technology in 2004. This fourth edition
of the Mobile Music Workshop in 2007 offers a unique opportunity to
participate in the development of mobile music and hands-on experience
of cutting-edge technology.
This year's workshop is hosted by STEIM and Waag Society in Amsterdam,
The Netherlands, and partners with the Futuresonic Festival in
Manchester, England, taking place later the same week.
The programme of the workshop will consist of keynote presentations from
invited speakers, peer-reviewed paper presentations, poster sessions,
in-depth discussions about the crucial issues of mobile music
technology, demos of state-of-the-art projects, break-out sessions and
live events. Registered participants will take part in hands-on sessions
conducted by leaders in the field. In addition to traditional
presentation sessions, the programme includes events open to a general
audience, facilitating the presentation of artworks and technological
breakthroughs to a wider public.
The Mobile Music Workshop sets the stage for a collaboration that brings
together leading institutions in both experimental electronic music and
mobile media. STEIM (the studio for electro-instrumental
music) is a centre for electronic music production well known in the
performing arts. STEIM promotes the idea that Touch is crucial in
communicating with electronic and digital arts technologies, a vision
that over the years has given birth to physical, sensor-based musical
instruments. Waag Society is a research and development institute in the
fields of networked art, education and creative industries. Waag
develops platforms for artists to reach society through networked
collaboration, media streaming, and locative media.
CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS AND WORKS
We invite practitioners, artists, designers, hackers and researchers
from all areas, including music, technology development, new media,
sound-art, music distribution, cultural/media studies, locative media
and industry to submit work and register to attend.
Don't miss this chance to help shape the mobile music landscape of the
future!
Participants are encouraged to submit their work in mobile music
technology to the categories below. The partnership with the Futuresonic
Festival (http://www.futuresonic.com/) allows those coming to Europe to
make a single trip to attend both events.
Papers
We invite submissions of workshop papers presenting new projects,
approaches or reflections exploring the topic of mobile music.
Potential submissions could include but are not limited to mobile music
systems or enabling technologies, interface design, legal issues, user
studies, ethnographic fieldwork, social implications, art pieces and
other areas relevant to mobile music.
Accepted paper authors will be given a time slot during the workshop for
presentation and discussion of their work.
Format: up to 8 pages in ACM SIG publications format (shorter papers
welcome). For templates, see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/
template.html
Posters
We also invite the contribution of posters that document work-in-
progress projects or ideas in similar areas of mobile music technology
as the papers.
Posters will be on display during the duration of the conference. We
will arrange a poster presentation session where attendees will be able
to discuss the works with the authors.
Format: 2 pages in ACM SIG publications format
Demonstrations
We also invite submissions of work to the demo category. Besides
encouraging paper and poster presenters to bring a demonstration as a
complement their presentation, we encourage submissions of stand- alone
demos of mobile music systems or enabling technology. Their
implementation should be ready enough to be demoed, and will possibly be
shown to the general public during open sessions depending on their
robustness.
Format: 2 pages in ACM SIG publications format.
SUBMISSIONS
Please email your submission as a PDF file in the appropriate format to
