Submission deadline | May 1, 2023 |
Audio Mostly is an interdisciplinary conference on design and experience of interaction with sound that prides itself on embracing applied theory and reflective practice. Its annual gatherings bring together thinkers and doers from academia and industry that share an interest in sonic interaction and the use of audio for interface design. This remit covers product design, auditory display, computer games and virtual environments, new musical instruments, and education and workplace tools. It further includes fields such as the psychology of sound and music, cultural studies, system engineering, and everything in between in which sonic interaction plays a role.
AudioMostly'23 calls for Papers, Demos, Workshops, and Music & Installations on all of the above topics with a special focus on Embodied Sound in Virtual Realities (AR/VR/MR/XR).
Attendees will expect a full program including 4 days of paper, poster and demo sessions, talks, installations, and concerts. The event will take place onsite.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
AudioMostly'23 encourages the submission of contributions addressing the conference theme and the list of other topics (see HERE)
Submitted papers should provide a scientific contribution by reporting original research methods and results (original research paper), summarizing the current state-of-the-art on a topic (review paper), presenting an opinion about specific issues (position paper), or presenting practical situations in real-world contexts that can contribute to existing knowledge of the field (case study paper).

List of Topics
The AudioMostly conference series is interested in Sonic Interaction Design and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in general. The conference provides a space to reflect on the role of sound and music in our lives and how to understand, develop and design systems which relate to sound and music – we are particularly interested in this from a broad HCI perspective. We encourage the submission of original regular papers, posters, demos, workshops, music contributions and installations addressing the conference theme or other topics from the list provided below. We welcome multidisciplinary approaches involving fields such as music informatics, information and communication technologies, sound design, music performance, visualization, composition, perception, cognition, and aesthetics.
- Accessible technologies based on sound
- Acoustics and psychoacoustics
- AestheticsAffective computing applied to sound and music
- Art based research related to sound and music
- Artificial Intelligence, HCI and music
- Auditory display and sonification
- Auditory process monitoring
- Augmented and virtual reality with or for sound and music
- Binaural music production
- Communication
- Computational musicology
- Critical approaches to interaction, design, and sound
- Digital augmentation (e.g., musical instruments, stage, studio, audiences, performers, objects)
- Digital music libraries
- Embedded systems
- Ethnographic studies
- Game audio and music
- Gestural interaction with sound or musicImmersive and spatial audio
- Interactive sonic arts and artworks
- Intelligent music tutoring systems
- Interfaces for audio engineering and post-production
- Interfaces or synthesis models for sound design
- Live performing arts
- Multimodal data analysis including sound
- Music information retrieval & InteractionMusical Human-Computer Interaction
- New methods for the evaluation of user experiences of sound and music
- Participatory and co-design methodologies with or for audio
- Philosophical or sociological reflections on
- Audio Mostly related topics
- Psychology, cognition, perception
- Semantic web music and audio
- Spatial audio, interaction design and ambisonics
- Sonic Interaction Design
- Sonification and visualization
- Sound and image interaction: from production to perception
- Sound and soundscape studies
- Storytelling with data and sound
We envisage covering these topics from a variety of viewpoints: from design (HCI, sonic interaction design, sonification and multisensory interactions, extended reality) over engineering (signal processing, spatial audio, networking, artificial intelligence) to music and fine arts (composition; artistic research). AudioMostly'22 will mostly focus on Embodied Sound in Virtual Realities (AR/VR/MR/XR).
