  NIME 2007
NYC is a hotbed of activity in music, art and technology, with numerous people and organizations involved in areas directly and indirectly relevant to NIME.
NYC is home to a vibrant community of new electronic instrument makers, performers and composers, as well as venues and organizations eager to present their work.
NIME 2007 is sponsored by Harvestworks, the New York University Music Technology Program and LEMUR: League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots, with support from New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program and the Columbia University Computer Music Center.

 New Interfaces for Musical Expression
The design and evaluation of alternative musical controllers, currently the leading edge of an ongoing dialogue between technology and musical culture, involve many of the issues normally covered at CHI conferences.
This workshop will explore the impact of new interface technologies on musical expression and exploration, discuss practical concerns involved in the design of effective musical interfaces, and attempt to identify major issues involved in the interplay between technological change and innovation in musical culture.
NIME workshop consisted of a highly interactive one and a half-day long forum which will included presentations, demos and roundtable discussion.

 Usability News - Feature: Striking a Collaborative Chord
The New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference series started as a workshop at CHI 2001 (Seattle, USA), an origin which has shaped the focus of subsequent conferences.
Related to these issues, Sergi Jorda presented a paper on learning curves for new interfaces which highlights one of the interesting aspects of designing expressive interfaces - that there is a difference between efficiency of use and learnability, and these need careful consideration given the target user group.
There were a whole host of other interfaces and devices at the NIME conference which I haven't the space to outline but which highlight the wide range of possibilities there are to supporting creativity with computers.

 FRONT — a new musical interface [GP designpartners]
speaking of music is a matter of playing, to play with the input device, to be comfortable with it, to explore something new.
american composer, emigrated to new york in 1915; his highly original style was based on complex acoustic and theoretical principles which broke down the distinctions between music and noise, dissonance and consonance.

  Electronic musical instrument Summary
But beyond the voice, other musical instruments have been developed over the millennia because of a desire to extend the range of sounds that are possible for the listener to hear.
As interesting as the new sounds of the theremin and the ondes martenot were, there existed an unfulfilled need to create electric instruments that duplicated the sounds of traditional acoustic instruments.
Specialized conferences, notably the International Conference on New interfaces for musical expression, have organized to report cutting edge work, as well as to provide a showcase for artists who perform or create music with new electronic music instruments.

 International Workshop on NEW INTERFACES FOR MUSICAL EXPRESSION
As electronic music instruments liberate the action of musical control from the sound production mechanisms, their form doesn't need to be limited by the corresponding constraints and is free to move in many other directions.
Inserting a computer into the loop between the musical controller and synthesizer also enables any kind of gesture to be software mapped onto essentially any musical response, from the most delicate and intimate control of a virtuoso playing a fine instrument to the limited, high-level direction of a child stomping through an interactive installation.
This workshop will explore the new directions that musical interfaces are taking, addressing current research and evolving issues through presented papers, discussions, and performances with technologists and artists working at the cutting edge.

 CMDAS 21: New Digital Musical Instruments
Apart from a few papers scattered in various journals and the proceedings of the relatively new NIME (New Interfaces for Musical Expression) conference proceedings, there is no concise literature on this fascinating new topic.
This book is an attempt to document such developments and inform researchers and musicians interested in designing new digital musical instruments with control and interaction beyond the conventional keyboard paradigm.
Eduardo Reck Miranda is a full professor of computer music at the University of Plymouth, where he heads the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) and is director of the Master in Interactive Intelligent Systems course.

 New Interface Delivers Song Driving - Technology - RedOrbit   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Expression Synthesis Project (ESP) interface, devised by a team led by Elaine Chew of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, could be in the hands of consumers within two years.
Chew presented ESP May 28 at the New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) 2005 conference at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
To guide the musical performance, Chew and her colleagues used information from the score to create a "road" that corresponds to the structure of the piece.

 Paul Lehrman's NIME05 report
One way is to go to their conference: "New Interfaces for Musical Expression," or "NIME." This year’s NIME was the fifth, and it was held on the gorgeous seaside campus of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
NIME is not a trade show, and so there were few commercial products on display, but there was one that drew a lot of attention: Lemur, a marvelously versatile combination touch surface and LCD screen made by a French company called JazzMutant.
The music was created by a motion-capture system, with various musical parameters being controlled in real time by the dancer’s position in space and by specific physical gestures that the system was trained to recognize.

 Circumference Cycles
The music created with The Circumference is both rhythmic and harmonic, resulting in a sound that is a blend of the tones of the glass and the “guitar” strings combined and resonating sympathetically.
Strollo and Blaine are composing the music for the instrument and Stanaway is continuing to develop the distinctive visual and sculptural elements of the piece.
As a musical interactivist at Interval Research, she led a development team in the creation of a collaborative audiovisual instrument known as the Jam-O-Drum, now on permanent exhibit at the Experience Music Project in Seattle and part of the ETC curriculum.

 Tomorrow's Musicians & What They'll Be Playing
The New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference has been running for five years, and is a great place to see and discuss new ideas that may provide the musical controllers of the future.
But making new instruments is risky: you have to design them, build them, and perhaps hardest of all, teach people how to play them —and not lose your shirt in the process.
The NIME conference is not for everybody—but all of us who work with music and electronics will be hearing from the people who were there in years to come.

 Expressive Musical Instruments Give a Peek Into Future Music
And Buxton, who had left the music world to work on projects such as Alias/Wavefront (which garnered him a Scientific and Engineering Academy Award), is back, delivering one of the keynote speeches and still preaching the same gospel.
In the days when electronic music was brand new, he explained, concert performances would too often comprise someone walking onto a stage, pushing a button on a tape deck and walking off.
Perhaps what comes out of NIME will not be as earthshaking as what I saw at Digicon '83, but it eventually may be just as influential, in more subtle ways, as the science of computer/human interface design becomes more important in all of our activities.
