Topics
The main objective of the ICMC|SMC|2014 Conference is to promote the interdisciplinary cooperation between diverse research activities and areas such as in Computer Music, Interactive Music Systems, Music Technology Education, anthropological approaches to the technology in music (e.g. research on the development of micro-cultures and the redefinition of digital music within them), philosophical approaches mainly expressed in the fields of Aesthetics (e.g. aesthetical considerations or theories regarding the functionality of music in the post digital era), Ethics (e.g. philosophical considerations regarding the Ethics of the technological use in music), philosophy of technology and media (e.g. regarding the possibility of developing an ‘open source’ music technology) and finally alternative approaches regarding the creative use of music technology like those applied for the preservation of the world musical heritage (e.g the use of music technology applications for a preservation process ranging from the soundscapes of small communities to the preservation of ancient cultures from China to Latin America, also from the recovery of ancient Greek music theory to the preservation Byzantine and Greek Folk music).
