General Information


The JIM computer music conference took place for the first time in 1994 in Bordeaux, France, then in 1995 in Paris, France. This two-days conference gathers researchers in computer music and musicians that use computers as a means of expression or as a tool for composition. JIM'96 will take place in 1996 in Caen, France. It is organized by University of Caen (GREYC, Groupe de Recherche en Informatique, Image et Instrumentation de Caen). The proceedings will be made available at the beginning of the conference. An electronic edition of the proceedings will be made available on the World Wide Web. An information page for JIM'96 is already set up at : http://www.ircam.fr/jim96.

Program


Planned events are : communications on recent computer music researches and applications, lectures by invited senior researchers, and concerts . Talks will be given in French or in English. There will be no simultaneous translation.

Call for communications

We call for papers concerning any sub-field of computer music, including, and not limited to : A DAT and analog tape player will be made available for the communications.
Papers will be at most ten pages long and will conform to the specifications given below. Proposals wil be examined by a paper selection committee (see below) that may ask for details and corrections before full acceptance.

Call for music pieces


Several musical events (concerts, installations) will be programmed throughout the two days of the conference. We call for music pieces (two performers max) that will be played on that occasion. These pieces should illustrate the use of computers in any form (composition, sound synthesis, hyper-instruments etc.)
Interested composers are asked to send a DAT recording of their piece (10 mn max), along with a written text containing the title of the piece, its length, the technical set up needed, and describing their technical and artistic approach. These documents will be selected by the music selection committee (see below).
Standard sound diffusion set up will be provided (mixing console, loudspeakers, microphones, amplifiers). Composers that need supplementary technological resources are asked to provide by themselves the necessary equipment. In the case when this is not possible, they still may propose a tape version of their piece.
