As an interdisciplinary audio conference, Audio Mostly would like to welcome paper submissions from anyone interested in audio design, interaction and technology.
The special theme for the conference this year is ‘A Journey in Sound’ and we would particularly encourage 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:
-
Sonic aspects of digital stories, documentaries and archives
-
The soundtrack to our lives. Archiving and sharing sound
-
The emotional potential of a sound, how might this be used to support interaction
-
The different uses of sound and music across different settings
-
The re-use of recollections and memories by composers and sound designers
-
The development of musical tools that can let us express our experiences over time
-
Socio-technical uses of AI create highly personalised soundtracks that respond to one’s context
-
Adaptive sound and music use in journeys, time and the creative use of data
Audio Mostly 2019 encourages the submission of papers (oral/poster presentation) addressing such questions and others related to the conference theme and the topics presented below.
LIST OF TOPICS
The Audio Mostly conference series is interested in sound Interaction Design & Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) 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 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.
