The Third Brazilian Symposium on Computer Music was held on August 5, 6, and 7, 1996 in Recife, at the Federal University of Pernambuco, during the 16th Annual Congress of SBC (Brazilian Computer Society), this year hosted by the Department of Computer Science at UFPE from the 4th to 9th of August.
The symposium is organized by NUCOM, the Computer Music interest group of SBC. The objective of the symposium was to present ongoing research on computer systems for music, as well as to present new computer music compositions. The symposium was primarily aimed at promoting interchange among Brazilian researchers, practitioners and artists, and their counterparts worldwide. The first two symposium have established this meeting as a significant international event.
The symposium was aimed at the scientific and academic computer music community, but was also of interest to researchers in other related areas. The objective of the symposium was to present the results of research and to stimulate the communication between researchers and artists dedicated to computer music. It also provides ad opportunity to exchange information with the international community regarding perspectives on research and the teaching of interdisciplinary subjects involving computer music.
