The '''International Computer Music Conference''' (ICMC) is a yearly international conference for computer music researchers and composers. It is the annual conference of the [[International Computer Music Association]] (ICMA).

==History==
In 1986, the [[Institute of Sonology]] institute was moved to the [[Royal Conservatory of The Hague]], hosting the International Computer Music Conference there during its inaugural year.<ref>Sani, N. and Bernardini, N. (1987), "1986 International Computer Music Conference, Den Haag: Review in Two Parts", ''[[Perspectives of New Music]]'', 25 (1/2): 618–637</ref>

Each year there is a specific theme. For example, in 2007, the theme was "Immersed Music" and immersive media. ICMC 2007 took place in Copenhagen. On August 28, there was an "Underwater/Water Concert" at the [[DGI-byen]] swimcenter,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.icmc2007.net/?page_id=184|title=鸭脖官网-鸭脖官方网站-鸭脖娱乐官网|website=Icmc2007.net|access-date=12 January 2021}}</ref> in the hundred-metre DGI-byen pool, as well as the various other pools of the Vandkulturhuset.

This "Immersed Music" theme of ICMC 2007 explored important issues in [[Musical instrument classification#Physics-based classification scheme|musical instrument classification]] and immersion.
