The MTG is co-organizing the Sónar Innovation Challenge, the professional section of the festival
As part of Sónar+D, from 17 to 19 July, the Sónar Innovation Challenge is being held in Barcelona, coordinated by the Music Technology research group of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies, which has just celebrated its 25th anniversary.
Barcelona is hosting a new edition of Sónar+D Creativity, Technology and Business from 17 to 20 July. Within this space, as in previous years, the Music Technology research group (MTG) of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC) at UPF is co-organizing the Sónar Innovation Challenge from 17 to 19 July, a space that fosters collaboration between innovative technology companies and the creative community (programmers, designers, artists) to produce descriptive prototypes through challenges that can be approached from a technical and/or from an artistic perspective.
The sound of diversity
The goal of this challenge is to devise and implement a prototype that, given a set of data for a group of people (such as an organization, city, country or company), produces a soundscape or a musical identity that represents its diversity.
Personalizing physical spaces using social data
Personalization is a ubiquitous process in modern life. Our personal data are analysed to adapt digital content to our needs and desires, and to do so non-intrusively and ethically is a delicate task. This challenge proposes applying the same process to the physical spaces we live in and with which we interact daily.
Design the future of digital music services
The goal of this proposal is to design the future of digital music services using emerging technologies and consumer behavioural trends. The team must present a detailed vision of the future user experience for digital music services.
Affective computing for learning through games
The participant is challenged to create a game with an agent that detects affective states and adaptable free content in real time.

25 years researching music technology in Barcelona
In this talk, on Wednesday 17 July from 6:30 pm to 7:10 pm, Perfecto Herrera, a researcher of the Music Technology Group (MTG) will be taking a look at the history of and the work carried out by the MTG at UPF. Herrero’s preview states that: “the talk will be an exciting story of the challenges, successes and failures of a group of visionaries, scholars and crazy men and women (crazy about music, art, science, humans and technology), which began in a dark, lonely basement of a museum and became one of the world references for research in music technology”. The talk will involve the presentation of various demonstrations of prototypes and details will be revealed about research topics involving performers, composers and listeners.
