About the Publication

It is our pleasure to present to you the Proceedings of the International Conference on the Multimodal Experience of Music (ISBN 978-0-9571022-4-8), held from 23-25 March 2015 in Sheffield, UK. The conference was the first of its kind and brought together researchers from a diversity of disciplines with a shared interest in ways in which different modalities including vision, touch, hearing and kinematics interact when listening to, imagining, composing, editing or performing music.

The book was originally edited by R. Timmers, N. Dibben, Z. Eitan, R. Granot, T. Metcalfe, A. Schiavio, and V. Williamson. The current version has been prepared by Serena Dewar.
