Call for Papers for Special Issue on
Music at the Leading Edge of Computer Science
Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society (JBCS)
ISSN 0104-6500
The field of computer music is as old as the field of computer
science itself: as early as 1951, the CSIR Mk1 computer was
programmed in Australia to publicly play popular tunes. Those tunes
were crude and unremarkable compared to what is possible with modern
computer technology. However, they probably were the first computer
music ever and more importantly, the means of production was at the
leading edge of technological sophistication at the time. Since then
the field of computer music has made tremendous progress, most of
which are taken for granted today. Computer applications in music are
almost ubiquitous in modern society and economy, ranging from
Internet distribution of music, personal players and digital radios,
to systems for automatic music accompaniment and computer-aided
composition. Computer music researchers are acutely aware of the
emerging new trends in computer science, which will undoubtedly lead
to new technologies for music, especially with respect to new modes
of generating musical content. This issue of JBCS will focus on
topics at the crossroads of new approaches to computer music
technology and the leading edge of computer science.
