Dear colleagues,
The International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research (CMMR) will take place at University College London from November 3 to 7, 2025.
We are organizing a special session named “Listening With: Minds, Machines, Milieux, Machines and Musics”.
Important dates:
* June 29th: extended abstract (up to 2 pages including references) deadline
* August 15th: notification of acceptance
* September 12th: full paper (4–12 pages including references) deadline
* September 21st: author registration deadline
* November 3rd–7th: CMMR conference
The extended abstract and the full paper must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS single-column template. You may choose to write a short paper (4–8 pages) or a long paper (8–12 pages). Please visit: https://cmmr2025.prism.cnrs.fr/regular-paper-submission-guidelines.
This session aims to explore how humans perceive, interpret, and interact with their environments through sound. We welcome interdisciplinary contributions addressing ecological and embodied approaches to listening and audition across natural, musical, and artificial contexts. The session is open to theoretical, empirical, artistic, and technological perspectives.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
Ecological and embodied theories of auditory perception
Environmental sound recording, soundscape studies, and auditory ethnography
Sonic interaction design and auditory display
Artistic or critical practices engaging with acoustic ecologies
AI and machine learning approaches to auditory analysis and modeling
Methodological innovations in auditory ecology research
All accepted papers will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) proceedings.
