Do androids dream of computer music?

The Australasian Computer Music Association invites composers, performers, academics, engineers and technologists to present research and creative works exploring interdisciplinary perspectives on music making, with a special focus on emerging technologies, automation and robotics in music. This conference aims to expand our current understandings of automated and semi-autonomous music making and its impact in the broader cultural landscape.

In association with ACMC 2017, the OzAsia Festival 2017 will present the Australian premiere of ‘Scary Beauty’, an extraordinary new android opera with music by Keiichiro Shibuya.
