theory, biology, composition, computing, cultural studies, education,
ethnology, history, linguistics, literary studies, mathematics, medicine,
music theory and analysis, perception, performance, philosophy,
physiology, prehistory, psychoacoustics, psychology, semiotics, sociology,
statistics, and therapy. CIM especially promotes collaborations between
sciences and humanities, between theory and practice, as well as
interdisciplinary combinations that are new, unusual, creative, or
otherwise especially promising.

•        Theme for CIM09 : Music and its instruments
CIM09 – will focus on relationships between music and the instruments used
for its production.
How is the music of a given culture determined or influenced by the nature
of its musical instruments? How do instruments influence repertoires? How
are instruments that have been developed in the context of given musical
styles used in new styles? Conversely, what issues arise when old
instruments are revived, or new instruments adapted, for the performance
of early music?
