General Information / Informations générales

The 2017 symposium is the eleventh annual iteration of this important opportunity for exchange between diverse EA communities. In recent years, a number of themes have emerged, among them: creative and collaborative practices, curation, research and analysis, algorithmic processes, videomusic and intermedia practices, electronic ensembles and live coding.

As in preceding years, the symposium leads directly into the main concert weekend of the annual Sound Travels Festival of Sound Art. This 19th edition of Sound Travels explores emerging trends alongside established traditions in electroacoustic music. At the heart of TIES 2017 will be a Keynote Lecture by Chantal Dumas, one of Sound Travels’ featured artists. TIES and Sound Travels events will be presented using NAISA’s real-time spatialization system.

All symposium contributions will be webcast live, and selected text proceedings will be published in a forthcoming issue of the CEC’s online journal for electroacoustics, eContact!

We look forward to seeing you, your colleagues, collaborators and students in Toronto in August!
