Encouraged by the NSF to organize a workshop on musicinformationretrieval, and helped along by a University of Massachusetts proposal that was funded to accomplish this, the first ISMIR Conference took place October 2000 in Plymouth, Massachusetts in the US.
The opening keynote, entitled "Variations on the Theme of Musical Similarity", was given by Douglas Hofstadter, Professor of Cognitive Science, and Director of the Center for Research on Concepts and Cognition, Indiana University.
Nevertheless, because MIR is a discipline that draws from a broad cross-section, there was an opportunity to learn a great deal from the papers presented by authors from different types of organizations and research specialties.
