New Interfaces for Musical Expression++
University of Technology Sydney, Australia
7-11th June 2010
On behalf of the NIME 2010 Committee, we invite you to be part of the
International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression. The
core purpose of NIME is to examine interfaces/instruments for musical
expression. The ++ portion of the 2010 conference concerns
projects/papers that link music or sound with multi-disciplinary,
cross-disciplinary and multimodal expression. Projects that collaborate
with other disciplines, extending the musical or sonic framework are
invited, and vice-versa.
