Simon Holland (PI) and Tom Mudd (Co-I, University of Edinburgh) have been awarded a new EPSRC grant to create network in Music and Human Computer Interaction (CHIME – Computer Human Interaction and Music nEtwork). Industrial collaborators include Generic Robotic, Playable Technology and TikTok; and charitable collaborators include Drake Music, Special Needs Music, and the Stables Theatre. Academic co-applicants include: Steve Benford, Nottingham; Alan Blackwell, Cambridge; Carola Boehm, Staffordshire; Lamberto Coccioli, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire; Rebecca Fiebrink, University of the Arts London; Andrew McPherson, Queen Mary; Atau Tanaka, Goldsmiths; Owen Green, Huddersfield; Thor Magnusson, Sussex; Eduardo Miranda, Plymouth; and Paul Stapleton and Maarten van Walstijn, Queen’s Belfast. The network aims to connect and assist researchers from diverse disciplines, whether just starting or established, whose interests span any combination of Music and Human Computer Interaction (also known as Music Interaction – MI). CHIME will create a new interdisciplinary Music Interaction community of researchers, industrials and charities to integrate and disseminate knowledge, training and expertise in a wide range of emerging innovative areas through workshops, training, visits and new collaborations. The project starts in April 2022 and has been awarded £46,929 to carry out this work over the next three years.
