ECMusic 2012 - International Workshop on Evolutionary Music

Music provides a perfect area of research for Evolutionary Computation. A number of problems are present and still open to new proposals, such as:
Generative Music Composition.
Evolutionary Music Modeling.
Rhythmic structure and Key analysis.
Music Transcription.
Music Improvisation.
Music Genre classification.
Music mood analysis.
Optimization of Music Performance.
Sound synthesis.
Machine learning methods for audio content analysis .
Automatic tagging of audio signals.
Content-based audio retrieval.
Music information retrieval.
Music recommendation.
User interfaces for music management and retrieval.
Intelligent audio effects.
Audio restoration.
Etc.
ECMusic 2012, the 2nd workshop on Evolutionary Computation and music, aims particularly at providing a place -both physical and virtual- where the research is not only shown but also performed. It follows the success of the first ECMusic, that was held in New Orleans in 2011 . Authors will thus be encouraged to send both regular papers describing new approaches and results, along with audio records allowing to appreciate the quality of the works. A CD will be compiled and distributed< among the audience with the results published in the workshop.
