ACMC 2024 Melbourne: Futurity & AIM SYMPOSIUM

ACMC is the annual gathering of the Australasian Computer Music Association, a place to show and discuss research and artistic progress in computer/electronic music. It’s a festival of performances, installations, workshops, and tutorials that inspire, challenge, and showcase our community. 

This year’s ACMC theme is futurity. As creative computational processes and technologies take an increasingly centre stage in the popular discourse, we too, in music, sound, technology and performance, contemplate the futurity of recent developments in the field/market(s); topics spanning decades of ACMA activity are now in common parlance, how do we lead these futures? 

ACMA is an inclusive conference. We want to connect the diverse range of people who contribute to Australia’s computer/electronic music culture, including and especially artists and scholars who are gender diverse, young/emerging, from regional/remote areas, who have a disability, who are First Nations People, who have low/no income, who are engaged in community music making, or who work outside of academia and mainstream institutions. 

AIM’s Symposium will close a 3-day conference with some specialised lectures, workshops performances and presentations highlighting the latest in tertiary and post-graduate research at the Australian Institute of Music! 

Remote/online connections (internet streaming options) will be available for presenters/attendees. 

Submissions are open from July 10, 2024, with the opportunity to provide feedback and converse with all interested participants. Conference attendees/presenters can nominate which state/venue they wish to attend for the ACMC24 conference. 

While the theme of ACMC 24 is futurity, we welcome proposals across the range of computer music topics and practices, emphasising interdisciplinary and AI Music topics.
