DMRN+20 one day workshop
DMRN+20 marks the 20th edition of DMRN. Moreover, this annual gathering has a history under other names, making it an institution that’s closer to 25 years old! This year, we celebrate that history and the ever-growing presence of music computing in and around London. In addition to the usual offering (top-notch research and a friendly, social atmosphere), we’ll also consider the past and future of DMRN, and the possible roles for a regionally organised network of this kind in the next few years. This event is hosted at KCL in collaboration with – but outside of – C4DM for the first time in many years, and takes the theme “Collaboration, Coordination, and Community”.
AIM has been a part of DMRN since 2018, with all cohorts presenting posters at the event. A few AIM students will surely be presenting this year as well.
Theme: “Collaboration, Coordination, and Community”.
This year’s theme is “Collaboration, Coordination, and Community”. You may like to include a nod to this theme in your submission (this is optional!) and/or in your chats with others at the event. For example, you might like to discuss research communities at both local (e.g., DMRN) and global (e.g., ISMIR) scales. Likewise, you might consider the wider music scholarship communities with which we sometimes have less interaction than we ought (e.g., ICMPC). And what about the much wider communities of musicians (professional and amateur) in London and beyond? What does successful collaborative, coordinated, and community-oriented work look like, and what might DMRN’s role be?
