The 2025 International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research (CMMR 2025) will be held at University College London’s East London Campuses, from 3–7 November 2025.

We invite proposals for tutorials to be held as part of the first and last days of the symposium programme. Tutorials provide an excellent opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present teaching and learning content on topics relevant to the CMMR community.

Tutorials should be designed as interactive teaching and learning opportunities and should be of interest to a broad audience. As a guide, CMMR attracts a wide range of individuals from varied national and professional backgrounds. Represented disciplines include computer science and engineering; performance, composition and musicology; cognitive science and psychology; neuroscience and physiology; education; and design and interaction. Participants are drawn from various roles including established academics, post-doctoral and early career researchers; doctoral and graduate students; independent researchers and artists; industry practitioners and developers; and educators and accessibility advocates. 

As a guide, previous editions of the symposium have included tutorials relating to various areas within: sound interaction and design theory; technical training in specific software or tools; strategies for musical/sound control, modelling and analysis; and scripting, algorithm or networking tools.

This year, we particularly welcome proposals aligned with the 2025 symposium theme: “Sound, Music: Space, Place”. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

• Music education
• Music ethnography
• Music games and interactive learning
• Music information retrieval
• Music production and composition tools
• Music representation and visualization
• Music structure analysis
• Music transcription
• Musical interface design
• Optical music recognition
• Oral histories & storytelling
• Place and sound
• Semantic web
• Sonification and musification
• Sound and music in visual media
• Sound source separation
• Sound studies & sonic anthropology
• Sound synthesis
• Soundscape and acoustic ecology
• Spatial audio
• User studies (e.g., ethnography, UI/UX)

Tutorials can be proposed as one hour, two hour, half day or full day sessions (although final scheduling will depend on the overall symposium timetable and may differ from what is proposed). They should be designed to be interactive and may include lectures, demonstrations, hands-on activities, or discussions. Organisers are encouraged to propose formats that best suit their content and audience engagement.

As a general guide, CMMR can provide basic equipment (1 table, 2–3 chairs, at least 1 UK standard-rated 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 indicate below and also contact the tutorial track chairs, although your request may or may not be accepted (subject to discussion with the chairs).

Please prepare and submit your paper according to the Tutorial Submission Guidelines.

For any query please contact cmmr25@ucl.ac.uk

CMMR 2025 is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming conference environment. We especially encourage submissions from individuals traditionally underrepresented in computer music,  including women, people from the Global Majority, LGBTQIA+ communities, disabled people, non-traditional scholars (such as those outside academia or from interdisciplinary fields), and individuals from diverse socioeconomic, cultural, and educational backgrounds.
