[Apologies for cross-posting] The 4th edition of the International Conference on Timbre will be held in Montreal from July 2 to 4, 2026, hosted by the Faculté de musique, at Université de Montreal in collaboration with the research partnership ACTOR (Analysis, Creation and Teaching of Orchestration), and with the support of CIRMMT (Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology) and RC·MS (Regroupement interuniversitaire de recherche et création – musiques et sociétés). Timbre is the fundamental material that composers, improvisers, performers, and sound designers shape into music and sound art. It poses multifaceted research questions across the scientific spectrum, from hearing, psychology, and neuroscience to acoustics and computer science. Timbre can also be approached from the perspective of the humanities, including history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and sound studies. Bringing together musicians and researchers from these and related fields, the International Conference on Timbre offers an interdisciplinary forum aimed at advancing our understanding of timbre by bridging across artistic, empirical, theoretical, and computational perspectives. Timbre 2026 seeks original contributions in all areas related to timbre, including research presentations, artistic reports, as well as and panel sessions and workshops. Presentations may be given in either English or French. For all types of presentation, please submit an abstract of maximum 4000 characters (500 to 700 words), to be accompanied by a list of bibliographical references, via this form : https://forms.office.com/r/QmkRrnRCH2 Important Dates All deadlines are Anywhere on Earth (AoE) UTC -12.
