El SMC (Sound and Music Computing) es una conferencia que se celebra en Pádua (Italia). Este año estará centrada en el tema «Creativity Rethinks Science» y han abierto una convocatoria para contribuciones musicales y ponencias, aunque si alguien está interesado en participar de otra manera la organización está abierta a otras propuestas.

Las conferencias pueden girar en torno a cualquier tema relacionado con la música y el sonido digital. En el caso de las piezas musicales buscan trabajos para tres eventos distintos:

1. Curator: Claudio Ambrosini.
This concert features live electronic works that explore novel techniques for the performance with traditional acoustic instruments in relation to the possibilities of interaction and live processing. We particularly encourage works for acoustic instruments and electronics that link musical gesture to digital processing, including the spatial dimension.

2. Curator: Ron Kuivila.
This concert features works that explore the correlations and anticorrelations of digital and analog electronic music systems. We particularly encourage works that define digital models of analog live electronic systems and «bent» electronic instruments, build hybrid systems that combine and interconnect analog and digital systems, or provide entirely new approaches to analog circuitry.

3. Curator: Marek Cho?oniewski.
This concert features works that reinvent for the 3rd millenium the traditional model of the orchestra. We particularly encourage submissions of works using laptops as main instruments for the production, reproduction and manipulation of sound, possibly with the addition of other interactive technologies, as well as soloists or small acoustic ensembles.
