---------------------------------------- | COMPUTERS AND MUSIC RESEARCH | | | | A two-day set of talks and discussions | ---------------------------------------- Date: 9th-10th July 1986 Venue: Computing Laboratory University of Oxford England Computers are playing an increasingly important role in music research. There are a number of important projects being developed in this country and abroad---but researchers have been working in isolation and lack a suitable forum to exchange ideas. This two-day meeting will involve some of the key people in the field, and will offer an opportunity to discuss the major common problems and needs. Subjects to be covered will include input and representation systems, database structures for music information retrieval, query languages, general-purpose and specific tools for musicology and music analysis, methods of printing music by computer, and computers in tertiary music education. This event is not a tutorial on the use of computers, and it is recommended that all participants be computer users. All registering participants will be invited to write a short paragraph on their current work. A select few will then be asked to give ten-minute presentations about their research. Participants will include Ian Bent (Nottingham), Clive Broadbent (Durham), Alan Marsden (Lancaster), Stephen Page (Oxford), Alastair Pearce (London) and Richard Vendome (OUP). Bruce McLean, the database programmer for The DARMS Project, will be coming from California. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information, or to register as a participant, please contact Stephen Page, New College, Oxford OX1 3BN, UK (phone 0865-251609) or mail to sdpage%uk.ac.oxford.prg (in the UK, via JANET) or sdpage%prg.oxford.ac.uk@cs.ucl.ac.uk (via ARPANET, new form) sdpage%prg.oxford.ac.uk@ucl-cs.arpa (ARPANET, old form)
