CURIOSITY, PLAY, INNOVATION - A 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF CREATIVITY IN MUSIC, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY
Please visit this page in the upcoming weeks and months as we will periodically be updating its contents.
The International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) 2025 will be held in Boston, USA from June 8-14, 2025. We invite submissions in all areas related to computer and electronic music. This year’s conference theme is “Curiosity, Play, Innovation – A 50th Anniversary Celebration of Creativity in Music, Science, and Technology,” honoring 50 years of ICMC and the legacy of its founder, David Wessel.
All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review process. Accepted papers will be published in the official conference proceedings. Additionally, all accepted works will be featured in a program booklet distributed to conference attendees and available online.
ICMC 2025 will be held in a hybrid format. Paper authors who cannot physically attend may present remotely. Composers and Sound Artists whose works are fixed and not performative, may also present remotely. Due to the technical requirements and experiential nature of performative works, installations, soundwalks, and accepted submissions for the innovation showcase (which combines poster presentations and live demonstrations) it is expected that contributors attend the conference in person.
Registration is required of all persons whose work is accepted and intended for presentation at ICMC BOSTON 2025. Registration fees cover admission to all events at the conference.
