The SMC Conference is the forum for international exchanges around the

core interdisciplinary topics of Sound and Music Computing,

and features workshops, lectures, posters, demos, concerts, sound installations, and

satellite events. The SMC Summer School, which takes place just before the

conference, aims at giving young researchers the opportunity to

interactively learn about core topics in this interdisciplinary field from experts,

and to build a network of international contacts.

The specific theme of SMC 2012 is “Illusions”, and

that of the SMC Summer School is “Multimodality”.
