[Sorry for cross-posting, please distribute] We are happy to announce the next issue of the Linux Audio Conference (LAC), May 1-4, 2014 @ ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics, in Karlsruhe, Germnany. http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2014/ The Linux Audio Conference is an international conference that brings together musicians, sound artists, software developers and researchers, working with Linux as an open, stable, professional platform for audio and media research and music production. LAC includes paper sessions, workshops, and a diverse program of electronic music. *Call for Papers, Workshops, Music and Installations* We invite submissions of papers addressing all areas of audio processing and media creation based on Linux. Papers can focus on technical, artistic and scientific issues and should target developers or users. In our call for music, we are looking for works that have been produced or composed entirely/mostly using Linux. The online submission of papers, workshops, music and installations is now open at http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2014/participation The Deadline for all submissions is January 27th, 2014 (23:59 HAST). You are invited to register for participation on our conference website. There you will find up-to-date instructions, as well as important information about dates, travel, lodging, and so on. This year's conference is hosted by the ZKM | Institute for Music und Acoustics (IMA). The IMA is a forum for international discourse and exchange and combines artistic work with research and development in the context of electroacoustic music. By holding concerts, symposia and festivals on a regular basis it brings together composers, musicians, musicologists, music software developers and listeners interested in contemporary music. Artists in Residence and software developers work on their productions in studios at the institute. With digital sound synthesis, algorithmic composition, live-electronics up to radio plays, interactive sound installations and audiovisual productions their creations cover a broad range of what digital technology can inspire the musical fantasy to. The ZKM is proud to be the place of the LAC for the fifth time after having initiated the conference in 2003. http://www.zkm.de/musik We look forward to seeing you in Karlsruhe in May!
