The Sixth Brazilian Symposium on Computer Music saw researchers from various countries discussing their experiences in a friendly and informal atmosphere. The Seventh Brazilian Symposium, chaired by Bernadete Zagonel (musica2000@uol.com.br), will be held in Curitiba, the capital of the Paraná state, from 17 to 20 July 2000, as part of the XX Congress of the Brazilian Computing Society. The Brazilian Symposia are organized by NUCOM, the computer music branch of the Brazilian Computing Society and pride themselves on their intercultural nature and selection policies.
Roger Dannenberg (USA) and Leigh Landy (UK) will deliver the keynote speeches. There will be paper presentations, concerts, tutorials and product demonstrations. Researchers, composers, educators, manufactures and all concerned with the interplay between music and technology are invited to submit papers, compositions, tutorial projects and product demonstration proposals.
Important Dates
Submission of Papers

This year we are giving particular emphasis to the musicologies (historical, systematic, ethno, critical etc) of digital musics (computer
music, electroacoustic music, soundscape, techno etc.). Papers reporting ongoing or concluded research should be submitted in a preliminary version of no more than 8 pages (Times Roman 12 and 1.5 interline space). Please state clearly in the front page which of the
above headings, if any, best describes your subject matter. Preliminary submissions in Portuguese will be accepted on the understanding that their authors will undertake to present the final version in English. You are kindly requested not to reveal your identity in your paper (avoid self reference etc.). Please send MS Word 97 compatible files as e.-mail attachments to the Chairs, Aluizio Arcela and Carlos Palombini: arcela@cic.unb.br and palombini@usa.net.
By agreement with the Editors, a selection of musicological papers will be published online in the Electronic Musicological Review and the Critical Musicology Journal, as appropriate. Since online publication is likely in all areas, authors are encouraged to take advantage of hypertext facilities.
*** Please note that, for the final camera-ready papers, conversion to the .PS or .PDF format is required.
