Call For Papers

Welcome to the 17th edition of SBCM! The Brazilian Symposia on Computer Music are thriving and exciting venues for sharing ideas about recent developments in the fields of computer music, sound and music processing, music information retrieval, computational musicology, multimedia performance and many other things related to art, science and technology. We would like to invite you to contribute to and participate in this event, which will take place at the beautiful campus of the Federal University of São João del-Rei, Brazil, from September 25th to September 27th 2019. During the event, participants will have the opportunity to attend to keynote talks, oral presentations of music and technical papers, poster discussion sessions, workshops, discussion panels and concerts, and will have plenty of opportunities to interact and discuss collaborations with other participants.


Contributions may take the form of full papers, posters, workshops, art or research group reports as described in the Instructions for Authors. Full papers, which may be technically or musically focused, are expected to present original research, communicated in oral presentations. Technically focused papers are expected to deal with researches and outcomes involving subjects related to the broad territory of computer music. Musically focused papers are expected to deal with actual instances of music or sound art pieces, which must be included in the submission. Posters, which are accompanied by extended abstracts and may also be technically or musically focused (with accompanying music pieces), are expected to bring ongoing research open to debate and contributions from participants during specific gatherings. Workshops are hands-on events in which tutors can instruct other participants on either basic computer music-related or novel, state-of-the-art topics. Art can take the form of compositions, performances, installations or objects, which shall be presented either in concerts or exhibition rooms; artistic pieces are also required to be accompanied by extended abstracts, describing how art, science and technology come together in the creative process. Research group reports presenting the research activity in a laboratory, project, research team or any other kind of group work developed at Universities and Research Centers focused in computer music. All papers will be included in the electronic proceedings, which become freely available in the SBCM homepage (http://compmus.ime.usp.br/sbcm/2019/).

Important Dates:


● (May 15th) June 16th (extended): Deadline for Papers, Posters, Workshops and Music submissions

The Venue


The 17th SBCM will be held in the city of São João del Rei, Brazil. The town plays a very important role in the Brazilian cultural and artistic scene, as it was the cradle of the country's independence movement in colonial times and also is the homeland of great names such as President Tancredo Neves, the national hero Tiradentes and also Barbara Heliodora.


São Joao del-Rei has been declared a Patrimony of Brazil. The city dates back to the end of the 17th Century, when explorers rummaged the country for gold, silver and precious stones. From the colonial period come the imposing baroque churches and buildings in neo-gothic and eclectic style. All this happened in tandem with the construction of a culture deeply-seated in religious principles and an unshakable musical tradition. The city is also known as the seat of the Federal University of São João del Rei (UFSJ).


Ranked among Brazil's top Institutions of Higher Education and located a short distance from the state capital city of Belo Horizonte, UFSJ offers a wide selection of over 50 graduate and undergraduate courses in areas such as Health Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Music, Social Sciences, Engineering and Technology, and Basic Sciences. Courses are taught on six different campuses, three of them located in São João del-Rei and the other three in the towns of Divinópolis, Ouro Branco, and Sete Lagoas. The University offers a stimulating environment for academic work, and at the same time, situated as it is in the historical heart of the state of Minas Gerais, it gives access to a range of cultural activities and attractions.


A special attraction is the Koellreuter Foundation collection and headquarter, located on the Cultural Centre of the UFSJ, venue where the artistic part of the SBCM will happen. The Foundation's Collection contains documents of different types, such as letters, manuscript scores, books, journals, handwritten texts, scrapbooking of newspapers and magazines, photographs, personal items and recordings in vinyl discs, cassette tapes and CDs. The composer’s library includes around 800 volumes that refer to european music, brazilian music, philosophy, materials that encompass the various areas of knowledge and interest of the composer and educator. There is also a great number of scores of works that marked the trajectory – from the Koellreutter flutist to the interests of the conductor and the contemporary music specialist.


Instructions for Authors


Contributions to SBCM 2019 may take the form of full papers, posters, workshops or art, as detailed below. All submissions are expected to be uploaded using the JEMS system (AVAILABLE SOON!).
