Call for music

CMMR 2012 welcomes music contributions and sound/media installations which will be presented during concerts colocated with the conference.

This year, for the first time, CMMR is partnering with Wilton's Music Hall in East London to present two evening concerts. The concerts will take place at Wilton's during the CMMR conference on the evenings of 20 and 22 June 2012. Please visit the Music venue page to learn more about Wilton's. We invite music submissions for these concerts, as well as for sound/media installations to be set up in the Wilton's venue during concert evenings. The conference will also feature poster/demonstration sessions for which we invite submissions of musical interfaces.
