The Journal of New Music Research (JNMR) was founded (previously under the title Interface) in 1972. JNMR seeks to establish an interdisciplinary foundation for the creation and study of music by means of the most advanced technologies, by publishing material which is both scientifically rigorous and musically relevant. JNMR draws on disciplines ranging from musicology (music theory, aesthetics, sociology), psychology (from psychoacoustics to cognitive psychology - with emphasis on modelling), acoustics (including sound engineering), computer science (from signal processing to artificial intelligence), philosophy (epistemology and methodology) to brain sciences.

Major issues covered in the Journal include (but are not limited to): AI and Music; Algorithmic Composition; Cognitive Musicology; Digital Sound Analysis, Processing and Synthesis; Electro-Acoustic Music; Formal Music Theory; Interactive Systems; Multimedia Systems; Music Analysis; Music Information Retrieval; Music Perception and Cognition
