Introduction In 2014, the International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition (ICMPC) returns to the Asia-Pacific area, following the tradition of ICMPC 1 (Kyoto, 1989), ICMPC 5 (Seoul, 1998), ICMPC 7 (Sidney, 2002), and ICMPC 10 (Sapporo, 2008). The meeting of 2014 is the third joint conference of ICMPC and APSCOM. Previous two joint conferences were held in Australia (ICMPC- APSCOM 2002) and Japan (ICMPC-APSCOM 2010). Thus, we are proposing to host ICMPC 2014 in Seoul, South Korea, with the meeting to be co-hosted by Yonsei University, Korean Society for Music Theory (KSMT), and Korean Society for Music Perception and Cognition (KSMPC). Professor Moo Kyoung Song at Yonsei University will be the chair of the conference. Conference Organizer: Professor Moo Kyoung Song Moo Kyoung Song ([email protected]) at Yonsei University is the President of Korean Society for Music Theory (KSMT) and the President Elect of Korean Society for Music Perception and Cognition (KSMPC). He serves as Director of Graduate Studies, Head of Music Research Institute at Yonsei University. He received his master’s and doctoral degrees in music theory from University of Texas at Austin. Conference Co-organizer: Professor Kyungil Kim Kyungil Kim ([email protected]) is an Associate Professor in the psychology department at Ajou University. He received his Ph.D. from University of Texas at Austin, where he has worked on the Similarity and Cognition lab and the Pennebaker lab as a post- doctoral research fellow. In collaboration with Dr. Sun-Hee Chang, the President of APSCOM (presidency 2012–2014) Sun-Hee Chang ([email protected]) is a lecturer in music education. She received her Ed.D.C.T. from Teachers College, Columbia University. She has served as the president of KSMPC and Vice-president of APSCOM.

ICMPC-APSCOM 2014 4 After hosting ICMPC 5, KSMPC has grown in quantity and quality. The Korean society has organized numerous academic activities and also successfully held APSCOM2 in Seoul. With this rich experience of hosting international meetings, KSMPC will effectively organize ICMPC-APSCOM 2014. Locational benefits of Yonsei University also contribute to a successful conference in Seoul. Yonsei University has a large, quiet, and well-wooded campus in the middle of a metropolis of 12 million inhabitants, only 15 minutes away from the centers of government, business and culture. The campus is located in Sinchon, and three other colleges are nearby. Therefore, the Sinchon area has become the gathering place for young, hip college crowds. There are many trendy restaurants, shops and cafes. Yonsei University is well-positioned to accommodate a conference of ICMPC’s size. The tradition of ever rising academic standards of ICMPC meetings will be kept at ICMPC 2014. Yonsei University is a leading research university, well known in the filed of both music and psychology. Active participation of faculty members and students in music and psychology programs at Yonsei University will elevate the academic quality of ICMPC 2014. In addition, close cooperation with related societies, including Korean Society for biological psychology, Korean Society for Cognitive Science, and Korean Society for Brain and Neural Science, will enrich the diversity of the conference. Most of all, the co-host of KSMPC and KSMT will present an unprecedented opportunity to highlight a broad spectrum of music cognition and music theory. The conference will feature many eminent scholars from ESCOM and SMPC regions, as well as those in APSCOM area as keynote speakers. The participation of young researchers will be encouraged through granting various awards for students and junior researchers. The constitution of Program Committee will reflect both the international and interdisciplinary nature of ICMPC: Distinguished scholars in diverse research specialties from different continents will be invited to join the committee in order to form a close network among academic disciplines and geographical regions. Professor John Rink (University of Cambridge, UK) and Professor Robert Gjerdingen (Northwestern University, USA) will join the program committee. Given that the quality of a conference depends highly on the review process, many leading scholars who represent the finest scholarship of our day will be invited to the Scientific Advisory Board.

The Hangang (River) flows through, from east to west, in Seoul and it is surrounded by great mountains, and the city contains both history and tradition, as well as the latest IT technology, making it a kind of a city, which is quite rare anywhere on the globe. Seoul is a city of various culture and variation. The city has over 700 museums, including the National Museum of Korea and the National Folk Museum, which all contain countless number of ICMPC-APSCOM 2014 7 articles, a number of performance centers, such as the Sejong Center for Performing Arts, National Theater and more, and has over 400 galleries.
