Sonorities Festival of Contemporary Music: International Computer Music Conference
Belfast, Northern Ireland, August 2008
Since its inception in 1974, the International Computer Music Conference has been co-sponsored by the International Computer Music Association and has become the preeminent yearly gathering of computer music practitioners from around the world. The ICMC’s unique interleaving of professional paper presentations and concerts of new computer music composition and performance creates
a vital interplay between science, technology and music.
The 2008 conference explores notions of placement and displacement in the context of music practice. It provides an opportunity for the investigation of the interface between technologies which develop through international collaboration and the specificity of music cultures rooted in a place. The theme of the conference reflects current trends in the de-centralisation of music production and dissemination demonstrated by the increasing number of artist-run labels, podcasts, web archives and blogs.
The ROOTS/ROUTES theme can be addressed through papers, compositions, installations and performances which explore the sense of place and context in relation to sound and technology. The conference organising committee welcomes submissions on the theme and on all
traditional areas of computer music.
