Ethnography of Studio Production
For anyone interested in the art of record production (now there's something to get philosophical over) there is a new on-line journal available at
http://www.artofrecordproduction.com
It is early days, but there are some interesting articles appearing and it may be of interest to colleagues involved in music production. There seems to be an emerging literature on the idea of production being an 'art' form and I suspect that the debate will gather some momentum over the next few years.

Funding for EU project - partners are wanted
Hi,
the EU Framework 7 (FP-7) calls have been issued on 22. December, with the first deadlines for proposals in March / April.
There are consortia who are looking for partners - and I came across the following:
Culturally Related Intelligent Music Processing (CRIMP)
http://www.ideal-ist.net/Countries/UK/PS-UK-310
Is this topic something of interest to any of you?
Cheers,
Reinhold

4th Int. Joint Workshop on Computational Creativity
Here is the text of an email I got yesterday - any work you may want to present there?
Apologies for cross-posting. Please help forward this announcement
to those who you think might be interested. Thank you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
4th INTERNATIONAL JOINT WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL CREATIVITY
Goldsmiths' College, University of London
London, UK, 17-19 June 2007
---> Submission deadline: 17 March
website: http://www.doc.gold.ac.uk/isms/CC07/
The Program Committee of the 4th International Joint Workshop on
Computational Creativity invites submissions of technical and
position papers. The workshop will be held at Goldsmiths,
University of London, UK, on 17-19 June 2007.
--------------------------
Workshop Objectives
--------------------------
The aim of the workshop is to facilitate the exchange of ideas on
the topic of computational creativity. We aim to bring together
people from AI, Cognitive Science and related areas such as
Psychology, Philosophy and the Arts who research questions related
to the notion of creativity with respect to computers. The workshop
will address issues such as how we assess creativity in computers,
how computers can be used to enhance human creativity, and how we
can write creative software. We aim for papers on various frameworks
for computational creativity to be presented at the workshop, and
for the applications of computational creativity to the sciences,
creative industries and arts to be showcased. The workshop will
provide a forum for identifying trends and opportunities for research
on creativity and promising practices concerning the development of
creative systems. In addition, we will organise a "show and tell"
session, which will be devoted to demonstrations of systems exhibiting
behaviour which would be deemed creative in humans.
--------------------------
Topics
--------------------------
Original contributions are solicited in all areas related to Creative
Systems, including but not limited to:
- Computational models of creativity
- Cognitive models of creativity
- Metrics, frameworks and formalizations for the evaluation of
creativity in computational systems
- Computational tools for supporting creativity
- Specific applications to music, language and the arts, to
architecture and design, to scientific discovery, to education
and to entertainment
- Philosophical discussions of computational creativity
- Detailed system descriptions of creative systems, including
engineering difficulties faced, example sessions and artefacts
produced, and applications of the system

Important Dates

March 17, 2007 Submission deadline
April 21, 2007 Authors' Notification
May 19, 2007 Deadline for final camera-ready copies
--------------------------
Submission Requirements
--------------------------
Authors should produce their papers according to the LaTeX format
which will be posted shortly on the workshop web site. Papers should
be no longer than eight pages; longer papers will not be reviewed. All
submissions will be reviewed in terms of quality, impact and relevance
to the area of computational creativity.
Contributions will be subject to anonymous, blind peer review:
reviewers will not be aware of the identities of the authors. This
requires that authors exercise some care not to identify themselves
in their contributions. Authors will receive feedback in the form of
reviewers' comments.
All Submissions will be made by electronic means, in postscript or PDF
format. Detailed instructions about the submission procedure will be
available on the workshop web site soon.

Previous events
----------------------------
This workshop is the first completely autonomous edition of the series
of International Joint Workshops on Computational Creativity that were
held in association with other major events:
IJWCC 2004, Madrid, Spain, ECCBR'2004
IJWCC 2005, Edinburgh, UK, IJCAI'2005
IJWCC 2006, Riva del Garda, Italy, ECAI'2006
This joint series results from two previous streams of events that
have, since 1997, solidified and added rigour to the computational
treatment of creative processes. These events have been symposia and
workshops associated with AISB 99, AISB 00, ICCBR 01, AISB 01, ECAI 02,
AISB 02, IJCAI 03, AISB 03 and LREC 04.

Conference listings in music and other opportunities
Hi,
For those of you who don't know about it and are interested in conferences, the Royal Holloway Conferences in Music page is a gold mine of references and opportunities.
For residencies and other opportunities in music and the arts, check out Transartists. It's a fantastic source for residencies, festivals, competitions, calls for work, and funding.

My first post here
Hey, this works - great!
There is another dormant blog - which I set up for the whole Centre of Creative Technology (but which has not been posted yet to anyone, so nobody knows anbout it):
http://cctr.blogspot.com.
That URL may still change, depending on what will be decided for the centre name. Topics there (co come): general Creative Tech issues.
Cheers,
Reinhold
