CALL FOR PROPOSALS AND MUSIC
JIM'98, Journ=E9es d'Informatique Musicale

The JIM aims to gather researchers in computer music and musicians who use
computers as a means of expression or as a tool for composition, in order to
present the most advanced researches and their development prospects.

They are organised by CNRS-LMA (Daniel Arfib) and the Atelier d'Exploration
Harmonique (AEH) with the help of ADERIM. JIM'98 will happen this year in a
residence at the Agelonde Center in la Londe-les-Maures in the south of
France along the mediterranean sea. This site is situated nearby the
railways station of Toulon and Hy=E8res and also nearby the airport of
Hy=E8res. This will allow a good conviviality in superb suroundings. The
price will be in accordance with all budgets.

new music". JIM'98 call for music works that use microtonality (just
intonation, alternative tunings). Authors have to send a cassette, a DAT or
a CD acoompgnied with a written document specifying the title, its length
and the tuning system used. A committee will select the best propositions in
this domain
