Dear CIRMMT Community,

You are invited to participate in a joint RA1/RA4 workshop on the role technology plays in all aspects of the creation and dissemination of music. This workshop will feature presentations from invited guests as well as lightning talks and a roundtable discussion.

Date and Time: April 4th, 2025, 13:00-16:30

Location: A832 (8 floor), Elizabeth Wirth Music Building, 527 Sherbrooke O

Description

With invited guests Dafna Naphtali, Hans Tammen, and Dr. Althea SullyCole, we will explore systems (electric, acoustic, compositional, or otherwise) around the creation and performance of music.

While we often discuss “music technology” as a single concept, the friction between the musician and the technologist is an area that requires more exploration. Do musicians embrace the capabilities technology grants them to formulate their artistic vision and convey their musical message? Does the technology adequately serve the music, or is it a solution looking for a problem? Are musicians open to working with experimental technologies they may not understand?

We ask that participants answer these questions with their own experiences, so that we may better communicate with each other.

Call for proposals

We invite members of the community to register as an attendee or for 5-minute lightning talks on their approach to incorporating technology into their practice as musicians or to working with musicians as developers of technology.

Please fill this MS form to register as an attendee or presenter. The deadline to register is March 28, 2025. Presenters will be notified by March 31, 2025.

Roundtable event

The workshop will conclude with a round table discussion on the topic of technology’s role in the creation, performance, and capture of music. We invite CIRMMT members, collaborators, and the wider community to participate in this discussion.
