TENOR 2016

International Conference on New Technologies for Music Notation and Representation

Cambridge, UK, 27-29 May 2016
Anglia Ruskin University

CALL FOR PAPERS

The second International Conference on Technologies for Music Notation and Representation is dedicated to issues in theoretical and applied research and development in Music Notation and Representation, with a focus on computer tools and applications, music creation and cognition.
Until very recently, the support provided by computer music developers and practitioners to the field of symbolic notation has remained fairly conventional. However, recent developments indicate that the field of tools for musical notation is now moving towards new forms of representation. Moreover, musical notation, transcription, sonic visualisation, and musical representation are often associated with the fields of musical analysis, ethnology, and acoustics. The aim of this conference is to explore all recent mutations of notation and representation in all domains of music.
This year they are extending the call to include cognition as well as ontological issues of performance practice arising from the use of traditional and/or graphical notation systems in live electronics.
In addition to paper submissions, they are interested in receiving proposals for workshops involving technologies of notation and representation. Anglia Ruskin University would also be happy to receive proposals involving presentation formats which challenge the paper/presentation model.
