NTU?s School of Art, Design, Media is hosting a two-day symposium on Sound and Interactivity 14-16 November 2013, sponsored by the CLASS scheme of the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. The event will be held at SADM, Singapore. SI13 aims to bring together researchers, artists, and scholars working with sound and interactivity in all ways creative. Roger Dean of MARCS, Sydney, and Diemo Schwarz of IRCAM, Paris, are keynote speakers. At the core of the concept of interactivity lies the connection of the various sensory modalities: hearing, proprioception, sight, taste, touch, and so forth. Technical means have been developed to extend human capacity in all domains, both in regards to perception and to expression, but there is much that remains unknown as to the integration of modalities. Sound is a medium whose practitioners have seemingly always been inclined towards intermodality (cf. ancient rites, operatic Gesamtkunstwerk, cinema). The first artworks made with a computer were musical compositions. More recently, sound and music have proven fertile domains for research in the affective sciences, as well as in information retrieval. The fluency of sound, its invisible and intangible nature, and because it can only happen inside time, seems key to an understanding the human condition - brain, body and soul. In numerous fields of application, sound integrates with other media, often in a supportive but essential capacity. The Symposium puts a focus on sound in itself and its relation to other media, enabling interactivity. We invite researchers, artists, and scholars to share their thoughts on sound and interactivity, and come to NTU/ADM, 14-16 November 2013. ============== Submissions as Papers, Artworks, or Others, can now be made using EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=si13), until 1 October 2013. ============== Topics of interest include: 3D audio acoustic ecology aesthetics of sound and interactivity AI in music app design audio games audiovisual installation audiovisual performance computer-assisted analysis computer-assisted composition field recording game audio haptic interfaces interactive art involving sound live coding mapping music automata music emotion music information retrieval psychoacoustics robot musicians sound art soundscape design sound design sound in multimedia sonofication visual music ? ============== Important dates 20 August: 1st call 1 October: deadline for abstract submissions 10 October: acceptance results 10 November: deadline for camera-ready papers (3-6 pages) for inclusion in proceedings 14 November: concert (ADM Auditorium) 15-16 November: spoken presentations (ADM 3D Screening Theatre) ============== Submissions Submissions can be made in either of three categories: Papers, Artworks, Other, using EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=si13), until 1 October 2013.

We would like to invite you to participate in this experiment and we hope you will have some fun enjoying music of another culture. In the listening test, you will be asked to listening to 30 second sound excepts and locate your perceived emotion on a two dimensional plane corresponding to a psychological model of mood. Please also choose (or type) a single mood word expressed by the music. The 120 samples used in the experiment are Chinese Opera arias with and without background accompaniment. Please listen to as many tracks as you feel convenient. It will take about 50 minutes to complete the entire test. The link to the test can be found below. It is available in English and Chinese: http://www.isophonics.net/content/chinese-opera-listening-test If you have questions, comments or other enquiries, please contact Mi Tian (mi.tian@eecs.qmul.ac.uk) We really appreciate your help and comments in any form!
