Current Calls for Submissions
Journal SEAMUS is actively seeking submissions of new articles for future issues, especially in the following areas:
- Articles: We invite paper presenters at recent SEAMUS national conferences to consider submitting your paper for publication as an article in Journal SEAMUS. SEAMUS composers are also invited to submit articles that connect the creative process behind their compositions with broader themes and methods. (See the Balighi article in Volume 35 for an example.)
- Reviews: We are seeking short reviews of the SEAMUS 2026 National Conference. Length and format is flexible; accompanying photos encouraged. See previous issues for examples.
- Tips and Tricks: We are interested in short articles on current trends in electroacoustic music and tutorials for our “Tips and Tricks” series. Articles can focus on any current software or hardware platform.
