Call for Sound & Music Works

CMMR 2025 invites the submission of sound and music works focusing on the multidisciplinary intersection of sound, music, and computing. Under this year’s theme, “Sound, Music: Space, Place,” we particularly encourage submissions that delve into the spatial and situated dimensions of sonic and musical practice.

We invite submissions that critically intersect with sound and music in a computational context, with particular emphasis, in line with this year’s theme, on the spatial and situated dimensions of practice. We welcome proposals that explore how sound and music interact with, respond to, inhabit, construct, disrupt, or reimagine space and place —across physical, virtual, social, and other environments.

This conference welcomes practice research, recognising the unique contributions of creative methodologies and embodied inquiry in advancing understanding within and across disciplines. We encourage composers, performers, sound artists, musicians, architects, filmmakers, and other creative practitioners to share their work within a global cross-disciplinary community committed to advancing critical dialogue and creative inquiry at the intersection of practice and theory.
