This meeting incorporates a celebration of the first 10 years of the Australian Music & Psychology Society (formed in 1996; see http://marcs.uws.edu.au/links/amps/), and will feature four keynote speakers. The Conference is supported by the Human Communication Science Network (HCSNet www.hcsnet.edu.au), which promotes interdisciplinary research in speech, language, and sonics, and will fall under the organisational umbrella of the HCSNet SummerFest. The conference will attract people from all walks of research and performance life, including musicologists, psychologists, educators, linguists, composers, engineers, computer scientists, speech scientists, physicists, philosophers and performance artists. The aim of the conference is to bring a wide range of presenters together, ranging from students to established researchers with an interest in finding or presenting synergies from several disciplines to help solve problems in music, or to use elements of music and music research to address problems in other disciplines. Performance items and research papers will be considered. Abstracts and 4-page full-papersı for peer-review can be submitted. Symposia organised around predetermined themes are encouraged. Sessions will consist of short (4 minute 'Speed' papers) and regular length presentations. Submissions are due on Monday July 2.
