<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>as a member of the Audio Mostly steering committee I would like
to make you aware of this interdisciplinary conference that
started in 2006. We would love to open up towards the MEI
community as there is already a considerable overlap. In past
years Audio Mostly (AM) has been a perfect place for bringing
together different disciplines from academia and industry, theory
and practice. We would love to have contributions from the MEI
community this year. Here comes the official CfP.</p>

<p><strong>Audio Mostly 2019: A Journey in Sound<br>
</strong>18th to 20th September 2019<br>
University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK<br>
<a href="http://www.audiomostly.com" target="_blank">www.audiomostly.com</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>AUDIO MOSTLY 2019<br>
</strong>Audio Mostly is an audio focused interdisciplinary
conference on design, interacting with sound and technology,
which embraces applied theory and practice-based research.</p>
<p>It is an annual conference which brings together thinkers and
doers from academia and industry who share an interest in
sonic interaction and the use of audio for interface design.
This remit covers product design, auditory displays, computer
games and virtual environments, new digital musical
instruments, educational applications and workplace tools, <em>as
well as the topics listed below</em>. It further includes
fields such as the psychology of sound and music, cultural
studies, systems engineering, and everything in between in
which sonic Human-Computer Interaction plays a role.</p>
<p>Audio Mostly 2019 will be an inclusive event for all,
bringing together a whole range of people and communities. It
will be a lively and sociable mix of oral and poster paper
presentations, demos, and workshops. We welcome submissions
from industry, academia and interested parties in each of
these categories.</p>
<p>As in previous years, the Audio Mostly 2019 proceedings will
be published by the <a href="https://www.acm.org/"
target="_blank">Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)</a>
(<em>to be confirmed</em>) and made available through their <a
href="https://dl.acm.org/" target="_blank">digital library</a>.
Regular papers, posters and demos/installations will be
double-blind peer reviewed. It is envisaged that there will be
a special issue of a journal relating to the conference, as
with previous years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>CONFERENCE THEME</strong></p>
<p>The special theme for the conference this year is A Journey
in Sound and we would particularly welcome papers relating to
this theme for at the conference this year. We often have
different experiences of sound and music though out our lives,
there are sounds that remind us of different places and
people. We also have different playlists and songs that take
us back and remind us of certain times and events. Throughout
our lives we are interacting with sounds and music, we are on
a journey in sound. This year the theme of the conference is
open to interpretation, but people might think about the
following, in relation to the theme:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><em>Sonic aspects of digital stories, documentaries and
archives</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>The soundtrack to our lives. Archiving and sharing
sound </em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>The emotional potential of a sound, how might this be
used to support interaction</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>The different uses of music across different settings</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>The re-use of recollections and memories by composers
& sound designers</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>The development of musical tools that can let us
express our experiences over time </em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>Socio-technical uses of AI create highly personalised
soundtracks that respond to one’s context</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>Adaptive music use in journeys, time and the creative
use of data</em></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p> Audio Mostly 2019 encourages the submission of regular
papers (oral/poster presentation) addressing such questions
and others related to the conference theme and the topics
presented below.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>LIST OF TOPICS<br>
</strong>The Audio Mostly conference series is interested in
sound <em>Interaction Design & Human-Computer Interaction
(HCI) </em>in general. The conference provides a space to
reflect on the role of sound/music in our lives and how to
understand, develop and design systems which relate to sound
and music – we are particularly interested in this from a
broad HCI perspective. We encourage original regular papers
(oral/poster presentation) addressing the conference theme or
other topics from the list provided below. We welcome
multidisciplinary approaches involving fields such as music
informatics, information and communication technologies, sound
design, music performance, visualisation, composition,
perception/cognition and aesthetics.</p>
<p>• Accessibility<br>
• Aesthetics<br>
• Affective computing applied to sound/music<br>
• AI, HCI and Music<br>
• Acoustics and Psychoacoustics<br>
