Subject: Special Issue: Mathematical and Computational Approaches to Music: Three Methodological Reflections From: Anja Volk <a.volk@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:35:38 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail-91--588081727 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" Dear colleagues, we (the guest editors) are happy to announce that the Special Issue = Mathematical and Computational Approaches to Music: Three Methodological = Reflections of the Journal of Mathematics and Music is now in print and electronically = available at http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tmam20/6/2 Journal of Mathematics and Music, Volume 6, Issue 2, 2012 Special Issue: Mathematical and Computational Approaches to Music: Three = Methodological Reflections Guest Editors: Anja Volk and Aline Honingh The Special Issue is dedicated to explicate and discuss methodological = issues in the interdisciplinary research field of mathematical and = computational approaches to music research. It arose from a lively panel = discussion with Alan Marsden, Guerino Mazzola and Geraint Wiggins at the = third International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music = 2011 in Paris. The Issue presents methodological reflections of the = three panelists on achievements, failures, challenges, and = interdisciplinary perspectives of mathematical and computational = approaches to music research. Each of the three position papers written = by the panelists, based on questions posed by Anja Volk and Aline = Honingh during the panel discussion, is commented in response articles = by the other panelists in order to capture competing points of view. = Thus the Special Issue presents controversial perspectives on the = contribution of mathematical and computational approaches to music = research, hopefully stimulating a broad debate on these issues within = the growing community of interdisciplinary music research. Examples of topics discussed: - The precision of mathematics and computation versus the imprecision of = humans - What kind of theory is music theory=97and what are the consequences = for mathematical and computational approaches to music? - The use of models and the issue of abstraction - Envisioned perspectives for interdisciplinarity =20 The table of content can be downloaded here: = http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17459737.2012.712354 The introduction providing an overview on the different topics of the = discussion is freely available here: = http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17459737.2012.704154 It is planned that free access to all articles of the Special Issue will = be granted to members of this email list soon via an online access token = to be sent out.=20 Best regards, Anja Volk and Aline Honingh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anja Volk VIDI-laureate, Project leader MUSIVA Assistant Professor Department of Information and Computing Sciences Utrecht University http://people.cs.uu.nl/volk/ --Apple-Mail-91--588081727 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset="windows-1252" <html><head></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; = -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; = ">Dear colleagues,</div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: = 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal = 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">we = (the guest editors) are happy to announce that the Special Issue = <b>Mathematical and Computational Approaches to Music: Three = Methodological Reflections </b>of the</div><div style=3D"margin-top: = 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: = normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">Journal of Mathematics and = Music<b> </b>is now in print and electronically available at <a = href=3D"http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tmam20/6/2">http://www.tandfonline.= com/toc/tmam20/6/2</a></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: = 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal = 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; = ">Journal of Mathematics and Music, Volume 6, Issue 2, 2012</div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; = ">Special Issue: Mathematical and Computational Approaches to Music: = Three Methodological Reflections</div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal = normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">Guest Editors: Anja Volk and = Aline Honingh</div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; = margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal = 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; = ">The Special Issue is dedicated to explicate and discuss methodological = issues in the interdisciplinary research field of mathematical and = computational approaches to music research.
