The conference will be held on 23-25 August 2017 at Queen Mary Univ= ersity of London (QMUL), UK. Audio Mostly is an interdisciplinary conference on design and experience of= interaction with sound that prides itself on embracing applied theory and = reflective practice. Its annual gatherings bring together thinkers and doer= s from academia and industry that share an interest in sonic interaction an= d the use of audio for interface design. This remit covers product design, = auditory display, computer games and virtual environments, new musical inst= ruments, and education and workplace tools. It further includes fields such= as the psychology of sound and music, cultural studies, system engineering= , and everything in between in which sonic interaction plays a role. The 20= 17 edition will be a lively and sociable mix of technical presentations, po= sters, demos, concerts, and workshops. Audio Mostly 2017 is organised by the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) at Qu= een Mary University of London (UK), which is a world-leading multidisciplin= ary research group in the field of music/audio science and technology. As in previous years, the Audio Mostly 2017 proceedings will be published b= y the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and made available through = their digital library (TBC). Papers, demos and workshop proposals will be d= ouble-blind peer reviewed. Conference Theme =93Augmented and Participatory Sound/Music Experiences=94 At the intersection between augmentation (=93the action or process of makin= g or becoming greater in size or amount=94) and participation (=93the actio= n of taking part in something=94) lies the idea of expanding how we interac= t with our environment and becoming actively involved in situations. Applie= d to science, the arts, health and the environment, these themes invite to = push back the frontiers of design and interactions, to propose new artistic= formats adapted to audience creative interventions, or to improve accessib= ility and empower people. Both augmentation and participation are linked to= the sense of agency; augmentation generally implies increased degrees of f= reedom or access to new information, and participation in design or the art= s involves a redistribution of the roles between designers/artists and user= s/audiences. The concept of augmentation can be applied to a wide range of = objects (e.g. musical instruments, concert stage, garments, everyday object= s), situations/actions (e.g. live performance, mixing, cooking), and realit= y itself with =93augmented reality=94 systems and displays providing new se= nsory information. Participation can be applied at different stages of the = production-consumption chain. For instance, participatory design gathers de= signers and users to conjunctly create artefacts, and participatory art lea= ds to shared contributions from artists and audience participants. What is the potential of sound/music in facilitating augmentation and/or pa= rticipation? Augmentation and participation both have the potential to transform our emo= tional or personal association with situations, people and objects. How does augmentation and/or participation applied to sound/music affect ou= r life and experiences? What are their advantages and what are their drawba= cks? Audio Mostly 2017 encourages the submission of papers, music, demos, and wo= rkshops addressing such questions and others related to the conference them= e and topics. We welcome multidisciplinary approaches involving fields such= as human computer interaction, music informatics, information and communic= ation technologies, sound design, visualisation, composition, perception/co= gnition and aesthetics.
