19th SBCM • 15-17 SET 25 • NICS_UNICAMP
É com profunda tristeza que a organização do Simpósio Brasileiro de Computação Musical – SBCM 2025 recebe a notícia do falecimento do compositor, multi-instrumentista, e improvisador da música brasileira Hermeto Pascoal.
Figura singular e revolucionária na música do século XX e XXI, Hermeto marcou gerações com sua capacidade incomparável de expandir os limites da criação musical. Sua obra atravessou gêneros, escolas e fronteiras estéticas, sempre com uma escuta generosa, inventiva e radicalmente livre.
Neste momento de despedida, o SBCM 2025 presta sua profunda homenagem à vida e obra de Hermeto Pascoal, reconhecendo sua contribuição monumental para a música brasileira e mundial e sua influência transformadora na criação musical.
Seu legado continuará a ressoar nas práticas musicais que buscam o novo, o espontâneo e o genuinamente humano.
Hermeto vive em cada som que ousa ser diferente. Obrigado por tudo, Campeão.

| Additional Fees (for scientific submissions) | Co-author | Co-author of a paper with at least one author already registered in any of the above categories and holding SBC membership If a paper has at least one author already registered in any main category as an SBC member, other co-authors who wish to attend the event pay the Co-author fee. | R$ 110,00 | Interaction between the two extra fees – These fees can apply simultaneously for different authors on the same paper. For example: Author A is registered as an SBC member and presents Paper 1 and Paper 2. For Paper 2, Author A pays the Extra Paper fee. If Paper 2 also has Co-author B, and B wishes to attend the event but is not registered in any main category, B pays the Co-author fee in addition to Author A’s Extra Paper fee. |
| Extra Paper | DOI fee for each additional paper by an author who is registered for the event and is an SBC member If the same registered SBC member author is presenting more than one paper, they do not need to pay another registration fee; instead, one author of each additional paper must pay the Extra Paper (DOI) fee. | R$ 110,00 | ||

SBCM is a biannual event organized by the Computer Music Interest Group (CECM) of the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC). It is an exciting and thriving venue for sharing ideas about recent developments in computer music, sound and music processing, music information retrieval, computational musicology, multimedia performance, and many other topics related to art, science, and technology. In 2025, the SBCM will be hosted by Interdiciplinary Nucleus of Sound Studies (NICS) at the UNIVERSITY OF CAMPINAS (UNICAMP).
Our intention is to promote a greater diversity of themes, observe innovative techniques and aesthetic orientations on sound as art and computing, in order to contribute to integration, inclusion and cultural diffusion.SBCM welcomes articles on all topics related to the intersection between computer science/engineering and music. At the time of submission, authors will be able to include other topics to facilitate the review process and welcome unlisted points.
* Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Music Information Retrieval;
* Software Development for Musical Applications;
* Computational Musicology;
* Musical Cognition and Computer Music;
* Real-Time Musical Systems for Improvisation and Telematic Performance;
* Machine Listening and Musical Creation;
* Audio Signal Processing, Sound Analysis, and Digital Audio Effects;
* Physical Modeling and Sound Synthesis;
* Sound Spatialization and Immersive Environments.

local@nics.unicamp.br -> Local Chair – Dante Pezzin (NICS)The organising committee is working on the following contributions formats:
* Full Papers: For Technical Papers are expected to present original research work, deal with research and outcomes involving subjects related to computer music’s broad territory. Music Papers centered on artistic and musical activities related to the conference theme, discussing artistic/creative processes description, aesthetics on digital music, computational musicology, or practice-based research approaches. Full Papers will be presented at the scientific track. At least one of the authors must register for the conference. They can have up to 8 pages and must be written in English and reviews will be double-blind.
* Performances and artworks are expected to explore the intersections of computing, music and other artistic and technological forms, including installations, telematic performances videos and interactive works. Submissions will be selected by the Artistic Committee and presented as part of the SBCM/ENCM Fest.
* Poster Session is an engaging platform designed for researchers and practitioners to showcase their innovative work in the field of music and computing. This session invites contributions from research groups, art collectives, studio practitioners, and other collaborative initiatives that highlight artistic and research activities conducted in laboratories, projects, research teams, universities, communities, or research centers focused on computers and music. Submissions may include research findings, creative projects, or activity reports. All submissions will be evaluated by the organizing committee, and selected works will be presented as part of the SBCM/ENCM Track.
All the submitted works will be published in the SBCM proceedings and in the SBC Open Library.
