Welcome to mic.pt

The Call for Papers is now open for the 4^th MMTR, an initiative of MIC.PT curated by composer Isabel Soveral, which will take place on December 11^th at O’culto da Ajuda in Lisbon. Organised in collaboration with the Department of Communication and Art at the University of Aveiro (DeCA), the Institute of Ethnomusicology – Centre for Studies in Music and Dance (INET–md) and the INET–md Group for Creation, Performance and Artistic Research, coordinated by Henrique Portovedo, this event creates a space for critical reflection and the sharing of research in the fields of contemporary music creation, performance, music theory and technology, inviting researchers, composers, performers, sound artists and students to present papers that explore the multiple relationships between music, technology and critical thinking. The 4^th MMTR will focus on practices of spatialisation, electroacoustics and sound diffusion via loudspeaker systems, running in conjunction with Listening Spaces, a series of concerts dedicated to Portuguese electroacoustic music and the exploration of the Miso Music Portugal Loudspeaker Orchestra as an instrument for the diffusion, interpretation and composition of the sonic space. The Call for the 4^th MMTR is open until September 11^th, 2026.
