1st Call for Papers: 17th International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research (CMMR 2025)
CMMR 2025 “Sound, Music: Space, Place”, UCL East (London, UK), 3 - 7 November 2025
The 17th International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research (CMMR) will be held at University College London (UCL) in East London (United Kingdom), 3 - 7 November 2025.
CMMR 2025 invites contributions related to all aspects of multidisciplinary fields and approaches, regarding sound, music and computers. In particular, we welcome submissions matching this year’s topic “Sound, Music: Space, Place”.
The conference will be hosted by the world-leading departments of Anthropology (within the forward-thinking School for the Creative & Cultural Industries) and the Bartlett School of Architecture. As such, contributions centring on practices of culture (those of human as well as other living beings, including ‘musical’, acoustic and behavioural aspects of animals) and spatial practices, including architecture, are very welcome.
CMMR is an open-minded symposium that provides an opportunity to exchange ideas, opinions, and findings for everyone engaged in sound, music, and computers. We warmly welcome submissions from researchers and practitioners from academia and the industry, and others with an interest in related topics. CMMR is an in-person conference. All presenters are required to participate in the conference and present their works on site.
CMMR 2025 will feature a diverse range of activities across the following tracks: papers, demos, music and installations, tutorials, and workshops.
Call for Papers
The conference accepts short papers of 8 pages to present work-in-progress and long papers of 12 pages to present a more substantial contribution to the field (Springer LNCS single-column format).
Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair. All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two experts in the field to ensure quality and suitability. Accepted papers will be presented in the conference programme and proceedings in open access (OA) format.
The Scientific Program Committee will determine the presentation format (oral/poster) of each accepted paper based on the reviewers’ recommendations. The camera-ready version of accepted papers must implement revisions requested by the reviewers.
The conference will feature special paper sessions, the topics of which will be made available in due course.
As in the previous CMMRs, post-symposium proceedings consisting of selected peer-reviewed papers are planned to be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series of Springer Verlag.
