Abstract

The rapid evolution of electronics, digital media, advancedmaterials, and other areas of technology, is opening upunprecedented opportunities for musical interface inventors anddesigners. The possibilities afforded by these new technologiescarry with them the challenges of a complex and often confusingarray of choices for musical composers and performers. New musicaltechnologies are at least partly responsible for the currentexplosion of new musical forms, some of which are controversial andchallenge traditional definitions of music. Alternative musicalcontrollers, currently the leading edge of the ongoing dialoguebetween technology and musical culture, involve many of the issuescovered at past CHI meetings. This workshop brings togetherinterface experts interested in musical controllers and musiciansand composers involved in the development of new musicalinterfaces.Click here to view the NIME '01 complete Table of contents.
