Intro

The SMC Conference is the forum for international exchanges around the core interdisciplinary topics of Sound and Music Computing. Prior to the Conference there will be the SMC Summer School.

The goal of this Summer School is to give an opportunity to young researchers interested in the field to learn about some of the core interdisciplinary topics and to share their own experiences with other young researchers, through the study of the soundscapes of Barcelona. For that, we will use Freesound.org, a huge collaborative database of sounds, released under the Creative Commons Sampling Plus license.

The creation and study of the soundscape of Barcelona will be divided into different subtopics, covering all the required aesthetic and technical aspects for soundscape analysis and creation. For that, the program of the summer school is divided into lectures and hand-on practical sessions.

The School caters to suit different student backgrounds and interests. If your background is an Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Music, Art, Sound recording, Design, etc., there is something new for you to learn at this Summer School.
