Second international conference on computational and cognitive musicology

CCCM2024 at Utrecht University, 17-18 October 2024

This conference, co-organised with the IMS Study group on digital musicology, celebrates two events: the recent foundation of the Music Information Computing group at Utrecht's Department of Information and Computing Sciences, and Frans Wiering’s official retirement (though unofficially he has no intention to already end his career).

The first International Colloquium of Computational and Cognitive Musicology took place in Athens in 2023. In the second edition of this series, we seek to strengthen the ties between musicology and the development of interactive technologies for a wide range of applications, such as for music analysis, encoding, visualisation, cultural heritage, education, wellbeing and inclusion. The special theme of this conference is Early Music Computing. Furthermore, presentations cover topics such as:

  • Music information retrieval for musicology
  • Computational music analysis
  • Music encoding and digital editions
  • Computational ethnomusicology
  • Music information computing for education, health, wellbeing and inclusion
