The Fifth Biennial Mathematics and Computation in Music International Conference successfully concluded on Thursday, 25 June 2015, after four days of talks, posters and film on notation and representation, mathemusical patterns, music generation, deep learning, performance, geometric approaches, post-tonal music analysis, and scales, and two concerts: Blood & Tango and Geometries & Gestures.
The proceedings are published as volume 9110 of Springer's Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI 9110), edited by Tom Collins, David Meredith, and Anja Volk—access to the proceedings is freely available for four weeks from the start of the conference—and the keynote lectures by Gareth Loy, Andrée Ehresmann, Emilia Gómez, and Ge Wang were recorded for post-conference viewing.
The event would not have been possible without the students who helped out with the local organization and arrangements—Ioana Dalca, Madeleine Le Bouteiller, Maria Panteli, Janis Sokolovskis, Carlos Vaquero, and Luwei Yang—and with the concert logistics and recording—Alessia Milo, Giulio Moro, Janis Sokolovskis, and Carlos Vaquero.
Last but not least, we acknowledge the generous support from the London Mathematical Society, which celebrated its 150th anniversary this year, and the Institute for Musical Research, and additional funding from the Centre for Digital Music and the C4DM EPSRC Platform Grant. We are also grateful to QMUL for in-kind support in providing space for the conference activities.
