New Interfaces for Musical Expression

New Interfaces for Musical Expression, also known as NIME, is an international conference dedicated to scientific research on the development of new technologies and their role in musical expression and artistic performance. The conference began as a workshop (NIME 01) at the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) in 2001 in Seattle, Washington, with the concert and demonstration sessions being held at the Experience Music Project museum. Since then, international conferences have been held annually around the world: The following is a partial list of topics covered by the NIME conference: Design reports on novel controllers and interfaces for musical expression Performance experience reports on live performance and composition using novel controllers Controllers for virtuosic performers, novices, education and entertainment Perceptual & cognitive issues in the design of musical controllers Movement, visual and physical expression with sonic expressivity Musical mapping algorithms and intelligent controllers Novel controllers for collaborative performance Interface protocols for musical control (e.g.
