The Australasian Computer Music Conference
The Australasian Computer Music Conference (ACMC) provides a forum for new compositions, information sharing, and research about music technology and computer music, principally throughout Australia and New Zealand. The Australasian Computer Music Association is a community of composers, performers, teachers and technologists who have an interest in, and are making or supporting music making with computers. The main activity of ACMA is the annual conference, usually held in a capital city of Australia or New Zealand, which is an official forum for the members' activites, music and research.

Australasian Computer Music Conference 2009
July 2, 2009 – July 4, 2009The Queensland University of Technology, in association with the Australasian Computer Music Association, is pleased to host the Australasian Computer Music Conference for 2009.
Located in Brisbane, the Kelvin Grove campus of the Queensland University of Technology provides an excellent venue for the ACMC providing flexible performance spaces, conference facilities and local restaurants and bars, all within an easy walk of the Brisbane CBD.
The conference theme for the 2009 ACMC is "improvise". We hope that this theme will encourage new ideas and greater levels of participation in the conference. In sympathy with this theme we will be making some changes to the format of the 2009 conference hopefully encouraging a more participatory and inclusive conference. In particular we will be placing an emphasis on the off-ACMC evening events, which will be held on the Thursday and Friday nights. We will also be holding workshops throughout the conference and reducing the usual twice daily concerts to a single lunch time concert. We hope that the new format will provide attendees with more time to network and catchup as well as providing an emphasis on improvised and collaborative music making.
We look forward to seeing you all in Brisbane in July!
