We are pleased to announce the 2009 Summer School in Sound and Music
Computing & SID Training School on Interactions with Environmental
Sounds (http://www.smcnetwork.org/summerschool/porto2009)
It will take place in Casa Da Música, Porto, Portugal, July 18th-21st,
2009, just before the 6th Sound and Music Computing Conference
(http://smc2009.smcnetwork.org/).
The theme of this summer school is Interacting with Sounds of Porto.
This summer school will explore the potential of recording,
processing, sharing and interacting with city sounds.
During 4 days, the program will include lectures, as well as hands-on
practical sessions under the supervision of tutors who will provide
one-to-one mentoring on artistic and/or scientific projects focused on
interactions with sounds that reflect the city of Porto and its
activities.
Speed talks and poster sessions will also be organized for students to
present and receive feedback on their current research, and to foster
scientific cross-fertilization.
