Come see some Pd instruments in action: > NIME @ Exit Art > http://itp.nyu.edu/nime/show/ > 475 Tenth Avenue > New York, NY > > Monday, December 15, 2008 > Performances 8PM-11PM > Doors open at 7PM > > NIME: New Interfaces for Musical Expression. > NIME: creating new performance tools for digital music. > NIME: a graduate course at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications > Program (ITP). > > In the seventh annual NIME end-of-semester performance, students > will perform on a series of newly designed electronic instruments > that aim to keep the “live” in live performance of digital music. > The NIME performances are presented by ITP instructor Hans- > Christoph Steiner. > > Computer music is usually played with a keyboard and mouse. Laptop > musicians often sit at a desk and give performances that are little > more than watching someone engage in “office gestures.” The idea > behind NIME is to go beyond the mouse and keyboard, beyond even > piano keyboards and drum pads, and develop performance tools that > make the most out of the new opportunities that digital music > offers. NIME students answer questions like: > - "What will the next generation of musical instruments look like?" > - "What will they be able to do that traditional instruments can’t > already do?" > - "What aspects of traditional instruments will we want to retain > in digital instruments?" > > Over the course of this year’s 14-week course, students are > developing projects such as a collection of autonomous solar- > powered robots, a augmented flutist, plate-spinning sampler, sing- > along animatronics, and a host of others. > > NIME at ITP > http://itp.nyu.edu/nime > Hans-Christoph Steiner, +1-718-360-4872, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ITP > http://itp.nyu.edu > George Agudow +1-212-998-1891, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > EXIT ART > 475 Tenth Avenue (at 36th Street) > New York, NY 10018 > (212) 966-7745 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.exitart.org
