We organised an elven day intense course in materiality for musical expressions to explore underlying principles of New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) in higher education. We grounded the course in different aspects of materiality and gathered interdisciplinary student teams from three Nordic universities. Electronic music instrument makers participated in providing the course. In ele...

the sensors, the logic, the artistic debate, the technical debate, the circuits, the theories about perception, the new war driven technologies, the ability or dis-ability to communicate, the conferences, the endless experimentation with system tweaks, the touch and sound, the reoccurring state of disbelief, the craving for the stage, the difficult and great collaborations, composing the now, t...

The topics covered by presenters at the workshop demonstrated a wide variety of advances in the creation, expression and interpretation of music and musical instrumentation. Here, we briefly summarize some of the participants' approaches to interface design and performance with alternative controllers that were discussed at the workshop. The complete selection of papers can be found at the work...

This paper reviews the mobile music projects that have been presented at NIME in the past ten years in order to assess whether the changes in technology have affected the activities of mobile music research. An overview of mobile music projects is presented using the categories that describe the main activities: projects that explore the influence of and make use of location; applications that ...

NIME research realizes a vision of performance by means of computational expression, linking body and space to sound and imagery through eclectic forms of sensing and interaction. This vision could dramatically impact computer science education, simultaneously modernizing the field and drawing in diverse new participants. We describe our work creating a NIME-inspired computer music toolkit for ...

The configurability and networking abilities of digital musical instruments increases the possibilities for collaboration in musical performances. Computer music ensembles such as laptop orchestras are becoming increasingly common and provide laboratories for the exploration of these possibilities. However, much of the literature regarding the creation of DMIs has been focused on individual exp...

abstract       this study shows that how each composer creates a colorful choral folksong picture, gives an individual  interpretation and new life to a folk melody, and also makes an independent musical work. the present article studies the choral arrangement of the iranian folk songs as a creative musical genre of the modern iranian music. the importance of this genre involves in several chal...

This paper presents a brief review of current literature detailing some of the issues and trends in composition and performance with interactive music systems. Of particular interest is how musicians interact with a separate machine entity that exercises agency over the creative process. The use of real-world metaphors as a strategy for increasing audience engagement is also discussed. The comp...

OpenSound Control (“OSC”) is a protocol for communication among computers, sound synthesizers, and other multimedia devices that is optimized for modern networking technology. OSC has achieved wide use in the field of computer-based new interfaces for musical expression for wide-area and local-area networked distributed music systems, inter-process communication, and even within a single applic...

This paper is an overview of the current state of a course on New Interfaces for Musical Expression taught at Stanford University. It gives an overview of the various technologies and methodologies used to teach the interdisciplinary work of new musical interfaces.
