> THIRD INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MOBILE MUSIC TECHNOLOGY
> 2-3 MARCH 2006, BRIGHTON, UK
> http://www.viktoria.se/fal/events/mobilemusic/
>
> Combining mobile technology and music promises exciting future
> developments in a rapidly emerging field. Devices such as mobile  
> phones,
> walkmans and iPods have already brought music to the ever-changing  
> social
> and geographic locations of their users and reshaped their  
> experience of
> the urban landscape. With new properties such as ad hoc networking,
> Internet connection, and context-awareness, mobile music technology  
> offers
> countless new artistic, commercial and socio-cultural opportunities  
> for
> music creation, listening and sharing. How can we push forward the  
> already
> successful combination of music and mobile technology? What new  
> forms of
> interaction with music lie ahead, as locative media and music use  
> merge
> into new forms of everyday experiences?
>
> Following two successful workshops that started to explore and  
> establish
> the emerging field of mobile music technology, this third edition  
> offers a
> unique opportunity to participate in the development of mobile  
> music and
> hands-on experience of the latest cutting-edge technology. The  
> programme
> will consist of presentations from invited speakers, in-depth  
> discussions
> about the crucial issues of mobile music technology, hands-on group
> activities and break-out sessions where participants can get valuable
> feedback on their work-inprogress projects. The invited speakers  
> include
> Michael Bull (University of Sussex, UK), often dubbed by the press as
> 'Professor iPod' for his iPod and car stereo user studies that reveal
> fascinating trends for mobile music.
>
> The workshop will take place at the University of Sussex in  
> Brighton, UK.
> Brighton is situated on the British 'Sunshine Coast' and easily
> accessible: only 30 minutes from London/Gatwick airport and 60 minutes

>
> Don't miss this chance to help shape the mobile music landscape of the
> future!
>
