Preface

This book represents a first step in trying to define ubiquitous music (ubimus) as an interdisciplinary research area that lies at the intersection of music, computer science, education, creativity studies, psychology and engineering. The contributions gathered in this volume provide a snapshot of 7 years of community efforts. These efforts include permanent interactions through virtual forums, multi-institutional research projects and publications and yearly scientific and artistic meetings, the ubiquitous music workshops (ubimus).

Some of the texts included in this volume were originally presented at the III and IV ubimus workshops in São Paulo (2012) and Porto Alegre (2013), Brazil. Part of the contents of Chap. 1 were presented at the Congress of the Brazilian National Association of Postgraduate Studies and Research in Music (ANPPOM 2011), held in Uberlândia, MG, Brazil. Chapter 6 is an extended version of a paper delivered at the 2014 Linux Audio Conference in Karlsruhe, Germany, and featured as a lecture at the IV ubimus.

The book traces a particular path to introduce the reader to ubimus research, featuring theory, applications and technological development. The prologue and the two introductory chapters lay down the current theoretical principles that underpin the area. Several of these ideas bind together the subsequent contributions, providing a context for the artistic and educational applications presented in the book. The section on applications—comprising Chaps. 3, 4 and 5—furnish three examples of ubimus projects, spanning creative practice and socially aware educational usage. The last section examines specific support technologies required by ubimus activities, providing the methodological counterpart of the concepts discussed in the first section of the book.

We expect this work will not only appeal to practitioners of ubimus but becomea good resource for researchers and educators in all the correlate areas engaging creativity and computing. It is our hope that with this volume, the debate onn socially grounded views of creative practice will embrace both cutting-edge art and theoretical sound knowledge.
