Digital music is an important and fast-moving research area. Sophisticated digital tools for the creation, generation and dissemination of music have established clear synergies between music and leisure industries, the use of technology within art, the creative industries and the creative economy. Digital music research is emerging as a "transdiscipline" across the usual academic boundaries of computer science, electronic engineering and music. The Digital Music Researh Network (DMRN) aims to promote research in the area of Digital Music, by bringing together researchers from UK universities and industry in electronic engineering, computer science, and music. DMRN will be holding its next 1-day workshop on ** Tuesday 21 December 2010 ** The workshop will include invited and contributed talks, and posters will be on display during the day, including during the lunch and coffee breaks. The workshop will be an ideal opportunity for networking with other people working in the area. There will also be an opportunity to continue discussions after the Workshop in a nearby Pub/Restaurant. * Call for Contributions You are invited to submit a proposal for a talk and/or a poster to be presented at this event. TALKS may range from the latest research, through research overviews or surveys, to opinion pieces or position statements, particularly those likely to be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience. Most talks will be 20 to 30 minutes, although there may be some flexibility to accommodate other lengths depending on the number of submissions. Short announcements about other items of interest (e.g. future events or other networks) are also welcome. POSTERS can be on any research topic of interest to the members of the network.
