MCM 2022
Mathematics and Computation in Music
Atlanta, Georgia
21-24 June 2022
The Eighth International
Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music will be held June 21-24, 2022 at
Georgia State University,
Atlanta, United States of America.
MCM is the flagship conference of the Society for
Mathematics and Computation in Music (SMCM), whose official
publication is the Journal of Mathematics and Music (JMM).
MCM 2022 continues the tradition of biennial
international conferences of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in
Music held on alternating sides of the Atlantic. In
this occasion it is hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and
the School of Music, at Georgia State University.
The conference brings together
researchers from around the world who combine mathematics or computation with
music theory, music analysis, composition and
performance. MCM provides a dedicated platform for the communication and
exchange of ideas amongst researchers in mathematics, computer science, music
theory, composition and performance, musicology and
related disciplines.
There will be introductory
talks to specific fields of research.
The disciplines of
Mathematics and Music share an intertwined history stretching back more than
two and a half millennia. More recently, computer science has made possible new
approaches to these disciplines, often with transformative effect.
In addition to the
scientific program, there will be concerts open to both congress participants
and the general public.
The publication of revised
selected papers will be as a pre-proceeding in LNCS/LNAI in the series name
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.

General proceeding for paper submission
The
organizers of MCM 2022 encourage submissions of unpublished
papers that use mathematical and/or computational approaches to music theory,
music analysis, composition, performance, by researchers or teams of
researchers from any relevant field.
Particularly,
we welcome submissions on any topic relating to mathematics and/or computation in
music, including (but not limited to):
- Mathematical
and computational models of and/or approaches to logical, philosophical,
and methodological aspects of mathematics and computation in music
- Musicology,
music theory, analysis
- Composition
and performance, improvisation
- The
perception and cognition of any aspect of musical structure
- Educational
aspects and implementation of Mathematical Music Theory
- Musical
interaction and gestures
- The
history of mathematics and computation in music
- Applications
of mathematical music theory and computational tools for musicians,
musicologists and others who work with music
- Study
of mathematical objects derived from mathematical music theory.
We invite
submissions of the following types:
- Long
papers (10-12 pages in the Springer LNCS style) to be presented orally
- Short
papers (4-6 pages in the Springer LNCS style) to be presented as posters
- Panel
discussions
Paper submission must be
made to any of the following members of the Scientific Programme Committee in
pdf format files.
• Mariana Montiel: mmontiel@gsu.edu
• Brent Milam: brentmilammusic@gmail.com
• Jeremy Kastine: jeremy.kastine@life.edu
• Octavio A. Agustín-Aquino: octavioalberto@mixteco.utm.mx
• Emilio Lluis-Puebla: emiliolluis@ciencias.unam.mx
If you have sent your submission for the special
session on artificial intelligence to Michael Franklin,
please resend it to one of the scientific program committee
members whose emails are given above.
IMPORTANT: MCM 2022 will carry out a blind peer-review of the
papers submitted. Authors must send two versions of their
papers:
- The full version including all
author names and affiliations. The name's file should contain the name of
the main author. For example, TITLE-AUTHOR
- A blinded manuscript without any
author's names and affiliations in the text or on the title page
- The manuscript will be reviewed by two
reviewers.
Authors should consult Springer’s authors’
instructions https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines and use the proceedings templates, either
for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Templates
and instructions can be downloaded via the Internet Explorer. Springer
encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper,
acting on behalf of all authors of that paper, must complete and sign a
Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form
should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have
been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot
be made.
Poster size can be A0 or 70 cm x 100 cm, printed on
photographic paper, and should be installed by the author.
Notification acceptance: MARCH 5th, 2022
Long and short papers
Long and short paper submissions should take the form
of complete papers; each paper submission should include an abstract of up to
150 words. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in an edited volume in
the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science, as were the proceedings of
previous MCM conferences. These memoirs will be available in hard copy during
the conference.
At the final plenary session
of MCM 2019, it was decided that it is important to increase outreach efforts.
In response, at MCM 2022 we will put on a public outreach event at the Museum
of Design Atlanta (MODA). The goals will be to (1) engage the general public in our areas of interest and (2) demonstrate
to each other how effective outreach activities can be implemented.
This event, called Math+Music@MODA, will take place
on Thursday, June 23rd, 2022, from 1:00PM to 4:00PM, and will not conflict with
any scheduled conference session. We are looking for volunteers to design
and facilitate activities that can quickly engage visitors as they stop at
various stations placed around the museum. The activities should help
visitors (with no particular background in math
or music) appreciate the role that mathematics and computation can play in
enhancing their personal enjoyment and/or understanding of music.
Ideally, visitors will leave
each activity with a physical artifact or web link that they can use to share
their experience with others. For example, a pamphlet explaining the main
points of the activity, or online access to an audio/video/midi file of music
they created in the activity. This could potentially increase our reach to
family and friends of visitors as well.
If you have an idea for an
activity that you would like to facilitate, please email Jeremy Kastine at jeremy.kastine@life.edu and jdkastine@gmail.com addressing the following.
*A brief description of the
activity.
*Is this activity adaptable to
visitors of all ages? All levels of music background? All levels of math
background?
*What materials/equipment
would be necessary? What would you be able to bring with you, and what would
need to be provided on-site?
*How much physical space is
needed?
*Could the activity work well
outdoors in the plaza in front of MODA (weather permitting)?
*How much noise will the
activity make?
*How much time do you
anticipate each visitor spending with your activity?
We will be able to accommodate
6-12 activities. Submissions received by January 15th, 2022, will receive
full consideration. Submissions will continue to be accepted after that point
until a full program of activities has been accepted.
