Journals, conferences and trade fairs relevant to music computing: for reading around the topic and, for newcomers, for ideas of where to submit work. “Link rot” is a well-known and persistent problem. Links on this page are checked automatically every week, but change is constant, so 100% accuracy is impossible.

Names highlight a keyword (bold) that is used for sorting. Words common to many titles (“International”, “Conference”, regions like “Australasian” or “European”, and publishers like “ACM” and “IEEE”) are de-emphasised. We do not distinguish journals from conferences: in computer science the difference is slight, as most conferences have extensive peer review and full written proceedings.

Music Computing Journals and Conferences

Music computing journals and conferences to explore further. This sub-list is curated broadly according to the criterion ‘are there clearly musical and computational terms in the title?’, as a proxy for ‘is this primarily about music computing?’. Here ‘musical terms’ include ‘composition’ and similar, as far as ‘audio’ and ‘acoustics’, but not ‘sound’ or ‘signal’ alone.

Wider Venues

Wider journals and conferences that do not meet the above criterion but are relevant.

These institutions may or may not still be operational, but the URLs are dead and there is not an obvious replacement. There may be proceedings available via third parties, but the URLs are no longer live (and so are not linked here).
