The fourth conference on Computer Simulation of Musical Creativity will be held from 2nd-4th October, 2019 at the Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin).
Computational simulation of musical creativity is an emerging, exciting and significant area of research. In the last few years, numerous systems that compose, improvise and perform music have been developed. These systems pose several theoretical and technical challenges, and are the result of an interdisciplinary effort that encompasses the domains of music, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and philosophy.
The main goal of this conference is to bring together scholars from different backgrounds, interested in virtual emulation of musical creativity, providing an interdisciplinary platform to promote, present and discuss their work.
The conference will be preceded by a one-day music hackathon, taking place on the 1st October, hosted by Melodrive at The Venue Berlin, Mehringdamm 33, 10961 Berlin.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions can cover both theoretical and/or practical aspects of the computer simulation of musical creativity. Interdisciplinary proposals at the intersection of music, computer science, psychology and philosophy are welcome.
