INTRODUCTION TO THE COLLOQUIUM
The Colloquium on Musical Informatics is an international
biennial meeting of researchers in computer applications to music,
organised by the Italian Association of Musical Informatics and by
local partners. Previous editions (held in Pisa, Milano, Padova,
Pisa, Ancona, Napoli, Roma, Cagliari, Genova) showed an increasing
interest in this area, proved by the number and the quality of
scientific contributions and the appearance of computer music
systems providing tools for new aesthetic solutions. The special
topic of this 10th edition is musical informatics and hypermedia
systems. Contributions to the Colloquium can be of the following
kinds: scientific papers, posters, demonstrations, compositions.
Proceedings of the Colloquium will be edited.

contribution, authors, affiliation, address, kind of contribution
(paper, poster, demo), technical requirements for presentation,
addresses for contacts (mail address, E-mail, phone, fax).
Standard equipments (personal computer + MIDI synthesiser + sound
amplification and diffusion) will be available, shared for all
demonstrations. Any other equipment will be provided by
participants, who must get in touch with the Organising
Committee.
Compositions can be submitted to the Organising Committee of X
C.M.I. sending:
a) written description of the most relevant musical, technical and
methodological features, in English of two pages approx., type-
written or printed;
b) a cover page with the following information: title of the
composition, authors, affiliation, address, duration, composition
date, date and place of tape realisation, equipment used, assistants
and technical executors, tape velocity and tail/head (for open-reel
tapes only), address for contacts (mail address, E-mail, phone,
fax);
c) tape registration of composition; tapes should be open-reel
(1/4", two-tracks) or DAT, recorded without noise reduction
devices.
The Organising Committee of X C.M.I. assures the public execution
of the musical tapes selected by the Musical Committee. However,
for live performances it will be possible to take advantage of
instrumentalists of the Chamber Ensemble of the University of
Milan (Director M! Angelo Paccagnini). Composers who are
interested in live performances can contact M! Angelo Paccagnini
directly.
