Call for Papers
Friday 15th September
Media City UK, University of Salford
The production of music often involves interdisciplinary challenges, requiring creativity, extensive knowledge of audio processing and exceptional listening skills. Many of these complex production processes have rules that could be made more intuitive, or
managed by intelligent processes. Intelligent Music Production focuses on developing systems that map these requirements into automated or adaptive processes within the production chain to achieve results which are both efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
This event will provide an overview of the tools and techniques currently being developed in the field, whilst providing insight for audio engineers, producers and musicians looking to gain access to new technologies. The day will consist of presentations from
leading academics, keynotes, posters and demonstrations.
Suggested topics include:
- Intelligent music production systems for common tasks such as level-balancing, equalisation, dynamic range processing, audio editing, etc.
- Intelligent music production systems capable of: generating/performing music; supporting the musical creativity of human users; incorporating affective responses.
- Philosophical foundations of IMP systems
- Accessibility in IMP systems
- Surveys of state-of-the-art techniques in the area
- Studies on the applicability of IMP techniques to other research areas
As well as submissions in the following general areas:
- Perception, psychoacoustics and evaluation
- Source separation
- Semantic audio processing
- Musical similarity and structure analysis
Paper Submission:
We welcome submissions on intelligent music production from researchers worldwide at all stages of their careers.
Paper submissions are accepted in PDF format and should be between 2 and 4 pages, including references. Templates for submission are available for
Word and LaTeX
[ www. semanticaudio. co. uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/WIMP3-papertemplate-LaTeX. zip ] .
Papers should be sent to
wimp2017@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
On submission, authors should express in their email a preference for either poster or oral presentation. Posters will be presented during the coffee and lunch breaks.
Venue:
