INTRODUCTION  TO THE COLLOQUIUM
The Colloquium on Musical Informatics is an international 
biennial meeting of researchers in computer applications to music, 
organised by the Italian Association of Musical Informatics and by 
local partners. Previous editions (held in Pisa, Milano, Padova, 
Pisa, Ancona, Napoli, Roma, Cagliari, Genova) showed an increasing 
interest in this area, proved by the number and the quality of 
scientific contributions and the appearance of computer music 
systems providing tools for new aesthetic solutions. The special 
topic of this 10th edition is musical informatics and hypermedia 
systems. Contributions to the Colloquium can be of the following 
kinds: scientific papers, posters, demonstrations, compositions. 
Proceedings of the Colloquium will be edited.

CONTRIBUTIONS
Papers, posters and demonstrations can be submitted to the 
Organising Committee of X C.M.I. sending:
a) an extended abstract in English of two pages approx., type-
   written or printed;
b) a cover page with the following information: title of 
   contribution, authors, affiliation, address, kind of contribution 
   (paper, poster, demo), technical requirements for presentation, 
   addresses for contacts (mail address, E-mail, phone, fax).
Standard equipments (personal computer + MIDI synthesiser + sound 
amplification and diffusion) will be available, shared for all 
demonstrations. Any other equipment will be provided by 
participants, who must get in touch with the Organising 
Committee.
 
Compositions can be submitted to the Organising Committee of X 
C.M.I. sending:
a) written description of the most relevant musical, technical and 
methodological features, in English of two pages approx., type-
written or printed;
b) a cover page with the following information: title of the 
composition, authors, affiliation, address, duration, composition 
date, date and place of tape realisation, equipment used, assistants 
and technical executors, tape velocity and tail/head (for open-reel 
tapes only), address for contacts (mail address, E-mail, phone, 
fax);
c) tape registration of composition; tapes should be open-reel 
(1/4", two-tracks) or DAT, recorded without noise reduction 
devices.
The Organising Committee of X C.M.I. assures the public execution 
of the musical tapes selected by the Musical Committee. However, 
for live performances it will be possible to take advantage of 
instrumentalists of the Chamber Ensemble of the University of 
Milan (Director M! Angelo Paccagnini). Composers who are 
interested in live performances can contact M! Angelo Paccagnini 
directly.
