Call for Papers for the Special Track on Amplifying Creativity: Exploring Musical Interfaces – An Artistic and Historical Approach
Scope
The Special Track on Musical Interfaces aims to explore the rich historical significance and contemporary advancements in this field. Research and practice with musical interfaces represent a vibrant intersection of music technology, performance, design, and human-computer interaction, revolutionizing how we create, perform, and experience music.
Musical interfaces have a rich and diverse history that spans several decades. From early explorations in computer music, the long-term commitment to live electronic music at the STudio for Electro-Instrumental Music (STEIM), and the work of real-time computing tools to the establishment of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression, musical interfaces have been at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of musical expression and interaction.
This Special Track invites researchers, practitioners, and artists to delve into the historical importance of musical interfaces while focusing on their role in shaping new frontiers of musical creativity.
