[EMS-NEWS] Apologies for cross-posting. Call for papers, call for works /////////////////////////////// Live Algorithms for Music Annual Conference and Concert ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Dec 19th-20th 2005, Goldsmiths College, London, UK /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The EPSRC-funded Live Algorithms for Music network investigates the use of autonomous computers in creative performance. Our interest is in systems that run live algorithms, that is to say systems which collaborate actively with human performers - or other machines - in real-time performance, and can do so without the presence of a human operator. The requirement of a live algorithm is that it should participate in a performance just as a human might, making apt and creative contributions to the musical dimensions of sound, time and structure. The network brings together performers, composers and scientists in the areas of cognition, artificial intelligence and computing. We are pleased to announce that our special guest this meeting is Al Biles, Professor at Rochester Institute of Technology, New York. Al is a Live Algorithms pioneer, famous for his genetic algorithm jazz improviser, GenJam. Al will be talking to us about GenJam and evolutionary music, and performing with GenJam at the LAM concert. We invite the submission of papers on any subject relevant to the aims of the LAM network. Proposals for performance are also welcomed. There will also be a session for short reports on ideas and work in progress.
