5TH INTERNATIONAL MOBILE MUSIC WORKSHOP 2008
13-15 May 2008, Vienna, Austria
Call for Submissions: Deadline 10 February 2008
http://www.mobilemusicworkshop.org

The Mobile Music Workshop 2008 is the 5th in a series of annual
international gatherings that explore the creative, critical and
commercial potential of mobile music. They are inspired by the ever-
changing social, geographic, ecological, emotional context of using
mobile technology for creative ends. We are looking for new ideas and
ground-breaking projects on sound in mobile contexts. What new forms
of interaction with music and audio lie ahead as locative media,
ubiquitous networks, and music access merge into new forms of
experiences that shape the everyday? Can they change the way we think
about our mobile devices and about walking through the city?

The emerging field of Mobile Music sits at the intersection of
ubiquitous computing, portable audio technology and New Interfaces
for Musical Expression (NIME). It goes beyond today's personal music
players to include creative practices of mobile music making, sharing
and mixing. The mobile setting challenges existing notions of
interfaces and interaction, stretching music to new creative limits.
The workshop has been at the forefront of this innovative area since
2004. Past editions of the event have taken place in Amsterdam,
Brighton, Vancouver and G
