Musinfo Association was founded in 2003 following the creation of the research group Musinfo (the first group created in the AFIM) with a vocation for reflection, publication and teaching on the theme of formalization of music (calculation of music).

This theme specifically applies to the use of scientific tools in the fields:

• assistance to composition
• artificial Intelligence
• algorithms in the field of composition
• sound synthesis
• analysis and processing of sounds
• musicological analysis.

In addition to these areas research interests and activities of Musinfo are:

• development of computer music in France;
• research and study of sound and music from the point of view of art, science and technology;
• research on gestural or automatic sound production and its organization;
• development, teaching and promotion of computer music;
• developing links and relationships with other sciences  and disciplines in France and abroad;
• the creation and promotion of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, artistic, scientific and technological sound and music projects locally, nationally and internationally.
