We encourage contributions that investigate the interplay between musical theory and practice with techniques and methods from artificial intelligence, including computational cognitive modelling of musical processes. We are especially interested in issues of musical representations and analysis, associated algorithms, and the evaluation of musical artefacts. The organising committee welcomes submissions on all aspects of music and artificial intelligence. There will be the following, non-exclusive themes: 1. Representation, Analysis and Pattern Discovery. 2. Situated Musical Cognition, Embodied Musical Perception. 3. Creativity in Musical Composition and Performance. The conference is organised jointly by the Faculty of Music and the Division of Informatics, University of Edinburgh. The conference will consist of paper sessions, posters, round table discussions, concerts and various social events, including a Ceilidh.
