The Schulich School of Music at McGill University, together with the Centre for Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT), will be hosting the 2009 International Computer Music Conference (ICMC 2009) in Montreal, Canada from 16–21 August 2009. Our keynote speaker will be Paul Lansky from Princeton University.
The 2009 ICMC will return to a more intimate format with a single paper track and only two concerts per day (late afternoon and late evening).
We look forward to seeing you in Montreal!

Banquet
Our banquet this year will be a four-course meal at the Montréal Sofitel Hotel. If you are attending, please choose a main course option in your registration (see the menu). Included in the price is a 1-2 hour open bar.
Workshop
The GENESIS workshop is intended for anyone interested in discovering, or better understanding, how mass-interaction modeling can be used as a tool for musical creation. Composers, musicians, teachers and scientists are welcome. A series of tutorials adapted on a per-person basis to the participants’ skills will be presented. Hence, no preliminary knowledge in physical modeling or computer science is required. Works based on GENESIS will be demonstrated, emphasizing in particular a compositional approach. Finally, attendees will be able to start a draft personal project with the software, with the help of the workshop’s staff.
Fee: $50 (maximum of 20 participants)
