Editorial

This editorial introduces the inaugural edition of the Journal of Music Production Research ( JMPR ), a newly established double-blind, peer-reviewed journal that sits at the intersection of arts and science. The editorial outlines the close relationship of the journal to the Society of Music Production Research (SMPR) and describes its evolution from a DIY venture to a partnership with Intellect. It discusses how the inaugural edition brings together six diverse articles that span the range of JMPR ’s arts to science continuum, including topics such as immersive audio, brain–computing interfaces for music production and machine aesthetics.
