Call for Projects 2011-2012: Musical Research Residency Program
Submission Deadline:September 30, 2010
Details and submission procedure: http://www.ircam.fr/875.html?L=1
The second edition of Ircam's Musical Research Residency program is now open for online submissions for the 2011-2012 school calendar. Ircam (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics and Music) offers experimental environments where composers/artists strive to expand their artistic experience at one end, and scientists aims at extending research and technological paradigms for new artistic expressions. Such interactive process is called Musical Research.
For its second edition, Ircam is inviting composers and artists to submit projects for the 2011-2012 Musical Research Residency program. The program is open to international artists, regardless of age or nationality, who wish to carry experimental research using Ircam's facilities and extensive research environment. Submission is online only and each project will be evaluated by an international panel of experts including researchers, composers, computer musicians and artists. Upon nomination, each candidate will be granted a residency at Ircam during a specific period (three or six months) and in association with a team/project at Ircam. In addition, laureates receive an equivalent of 1200 Euros per month to cover expenses in France.

Commission for a New Work
Traverse Arts Project in Philadelphia, PA seeks to commission a composer to develop a new piece of Music for Classical Organ and Orchestra to premier during a major Arts festival.
•The piece will be written in a form that will have not only a great deal of appeal to composers and industry professionals, but will also bring a tremendous amount of positive feedback from the general public of Music lovers.
•The pieces will be inspired by Music written by later Romantic, Impressionist, and Post-Impressionist composers, to keep within the theme of this momentous occasion.
•Composers will be asked to avoid techniques that the general public of Music lovers might associate with extreme dissonance and unpleasant listening. The idea is to develop a piece influenced by the most popular French pieces from this specific period that have tried the tests of time and discerning audiences.
•The piece will feature the Classical Organ in a concerto-like manner, and feature an Orchestra of 20-30 players.
•Composers are encouraged to consider that a piece of this nature has tremendous potential for publishing and widespread performance by Church Organists, depending on the success of the piece.
For more information, contact T. Desiree Hines at tdh@traversetheater.org
Deadline for inquiries is July 25, 2010. Please submit the following with your inquiry email
•Audio or video recordings of your works (YouTube, MP3, etc)
•Average number of people which attend performances which include heavy amounts of your work.
•A statement demonstrating why you feel that you are the right composer for developing this work. Include in this information how the general public of Music listeners (rather than other composers and Music professionals) have received your Music. Also, comment on how composers and Music professionals have received your Music.

Held in conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2010
http://www.acmmm10.org/
With the current explosion and quick expansion of multimedia digital formats in general, and music digital formats in particular, research on machine learning and music is gaining increasing popularity. As complexity of the problems investigated by researchers on this area increases, there is a need to develop new algorithms and methods to solve these problems. Machine learning has proved to provide efficient solutions to many music-related problems both of academic and commercial interest. The goal of MML 2010 is to bring together researchers who are using machine learning in musical applications, providing the opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing work in the area. The workshop is planned to last one full day, and will feature paper presentations, panel discussions and open discussions. Accepted contributions will be available from the workshop web page as soon as possible in order to encourage active discussion during the workshop. We invite extended abstract contributions describing machine learning approaches to music processing including, but not limited to:
* Sound Synthesis and Analysis
* Music Classification and Generation
* Formal Music Analysis
* Computational Musicology / Ethnomusicology
* Music Information Retrieval
* Knowledge Representation and Computational Models
* Printing and Optical Recognition of Music
* Psychoacoustics and Music Perception
* Cognitive Modeling
* Adaptive Systems and Music Education
* Algorithmic Composition
* Interactive Performance Systems
* Digital Audio Signal Processing
* Cover Song Detection
* Expressive Music Performance
* Chord Extraction from Audio
Submissions:
------------
Papers of 4 printed pages in two-column ACM proceedings format are welcome. Articles should include author names, affiliations, contact information, and an abstract of 70-100 words. Papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the Workshop Committee. Paper submission will be handled through the EDAS system.

Only a week remains to apply for the 2010 Graduate Student Workshop Program (GSWP). Now in its fifth year, this acclaimed program gives selected graduate students the opportunity to participate in an intensive, interactive workshop led by a renowned scholar and teacher. In 2010, Gretchen Horlacher (Indiana University) will lead a workshop on the music of Stravinsky. In his workshop, Michael Klein (Temple University) will guide students in the study of musical narrative. The two workshops will be held concurrently on the morning of Friday, 5 November during the Joint Annual Meeting of the American Musicological Society and the Society for Music Theory in Indianapolis. Please see the GSWP website for more information about the GSWP and applications: www.societymusictheory.org/Events/GSWP.
If you are a professor, please urge promising graduate students to apply by the deadline of 1 May 2010. It is often your encouragement that prompts a student to complete an application. If you are a graduate student, please go to the GSWP website to find out more about this year's workshops. Note that since participants are selected at random from the pool of qualified applicants, your stage of graduate study will not affect your chances for being chosen.
I have heard from many enthusiastic graduate students who participated in GSWP workshops that their experiences in the program were consistently enriching and inspiring. If you have questions, contact Wayne Alpern, Director, GSWP, at smtworkshops@aol.com.
