SMC 2009 is the 6th Sound and Music Computing Conference. After previous editions in Paris, Salerno, Marseille, Lefkada and Berlin, it will be held between 23 and 25 July 2009 at the Casa da Música in Porto, Portugal. Link - http://smc2009.smcnetwork.org/
SMC is a privileged forum in Europe for the promotion of international exchanges around Sound and Music Computing. The 2009 edition is organised by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering of Porto (INESC Porto), the Research Center for Science and Technology in Art (CITAR) of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa in Porto, the School of Music and Performing Arts (ESMAE), Porto's Concert Hall: the Casa da Música, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto.
Sound and Music Computing (SMC) is an interdisciplinary field that approaches the whole sound and music communication chain from a multidisciplinary point of view. By combining scientific, technological and artistic methodologies it aims at understanding, modeling and generating sound and music through computational approaches.
Its core academic subjects relate to musicology, physics (acoustics), engineering (including computer science, signal processing and electronics), psychology (including psychoacoustics, experimental psychology and neurosciences) and music composition.
