** The Music and Science list is managed by the Institute of Musical Research (www.music.sas.ac.uk) as a bulletin board and discussion forum for researchers working at the shared boundaries of science and music. ** MESSAGE FOLLOWS: Dear all,

On behalf of the general co-chairs Oscar Bandtlow and Elaine Chew, the publications chair Tom Collins, and the scientific program committee chaired by David Meredith and myself,  I am happy to announce that the program for the Fifth Biennial Mathematics and Computation in Music Conference is now online at mcm2015.qmul.ac.uk/?page_id=304.

The conference will take place 22-25 June 2015 at Queen Mary University of London. The event is co-hosted by the Schools of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (Centre for Digital Music) and the School of Mathematical Sciences, and is promoted by QMUL in association with the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music, London Mathematical Society, Institute of Musical Research, and the EPSRC.

Following a careful peer-review process, this year’s program features posters and talks based on papers on notation and representation, mathemusical patterns, music generation, deep learning, performance, geometric approaches, post-tonal music analysis, and scales. Accepted papers are scheduled to appear in Springer’s LNAI 9110.

The keynote speakers are: Gareth Loy (author of the two-volume Musimathics), Andrée Ehresmann (Université de Picardie Jules Verne), Emilia Gómez (University Pompeu Fabra), and Ge Wang (Stanford University & Co-founder, Smule).

Those interested in attending the conference are reminded that the early bird registration rate of £80 ends on 31 May 2015, and the fee is £120 thereafter

In addition to the scientific program, as part of this year’s conference, there will be two concerts that will be free and open to the public:
— Blood & Tango, Tue, 23 June 2015, 12pm - mcm2015.qmul.ac.uk/?page_id=518 
— Geometries & Gestures, Wed, 24 June 2015, 6pm - mcm2015.qmul.ac.uk/?page_id=542 

All events will take place in the Arts Two Lecture Theatre at Queen Mary University of London.  The poster can be downloaded from bit.ly/mcm2015-poster.

Kind regards,
Anja Volk
