The call for submissions for the 2026 edition of AIMC is open. AIMC 2026 welcomes contributions of academic papers, music, and workshop & tutorial proposals relevant to the conference topics.

Theme

AIMC 2026 explores The Generative Turn: how AI-driven systems are reshaping music creation, performance, listening, and value in an age of hyper-reproduction. As music is increasingly generated through prompts, datasets, and platform infrastructures, the conference examines new forms of musicianship, distributed creative agency, and emerging aesthetic signatures alongside critical questions of authorship, labour, ethics, pedagogy, and power. AIMC 2026 invites technical, cultural, and artistic contributions that interrogate how AI mediates musical practice and transforms the conditions, possibilities, and politics of music-making today.
