Experimental Musical Instrument Extravaganza: NIME 04

New Interfaces for Musical Expression is an annual
conference where boffins from university media labs
around the world deliver papers on current projects
and show off all manner of nifty new experimental
musical instruments and midi controllers. The website
of this year?s conference, which was held in Shizuoka,
Japan, has a complete set of the papers, which cover
subjects like as optical turntables,
eye-movement-triggered music software,
Bluetooth-enabled taiko drumsticks, and something
called a SillyTone Squish Factory. (Warning: High
tech-speak content.) If these become too heavy-going,
you can always just head over to the video/image
gallery and enjoy clips of some of the performances.
These include a laptop and electronic sitar trio
(included in highlights clip), a live Gameboy
composition, the ever-faithful pairing of violinist
Mari Kimura and the GuitarBot, a two-person wind
instrument called a Tooka, and Uriko Fujii?s ?formula
for orgasm between human and technology? which
involves hair-bowing and a drum with a burst skin. 

enjoy,
PoM:A
