CMMR 2025 welcomes the submission of demonstration papers focusing on the multidisciplinary intersection of sound, music, and computing.

 Under this year’s theme, “Sound, Music: Space, Place,” we particularly encourage demonstration submissions that delve into the spatial and situated dimensions of sonic practice. Please see below for a non-exhaustive list of conference topics. 

The Demo track offers an interactive session for participants to exhibit their work, products, or systems, showcasing their role in sound and music computing, artistic creation, practice, and workflows. The presenters will deliver a demonstration at their respective stands, followed by a Q&A discussion with attendees of the conference and fellow presenters. We are interested in both complete projects and works in progress.

Demonstrations will take place across a variety of spaces in UCL campuses at Here East and UCL East (Marshgate). Please state if you have any special requirements and these can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

CMMR can provide basic equipment (1 table, 2–3 chairs, at least 1 power socket, Wifi connection). If you have any specific requirement (e.g., larger space, use of devices with high power consumption, such as projectors), please contact the demo chairs, although your request may or may not be accepted (subject to discussion with the chairs and sourcing of equipment).
