New Interfaces for Musical Expression, also known as NIME, is an international
conference A conference is a meeting of two or more experts to discuss and exchange opinions or new information about a particular topic. Conferences can be used as a form of group decision-making, although discussion, not always decisions, are the main ...
dedicated to scientific research on the development of new technologies and their role in
musical expression Musical expression is the art of playing or singing with a personal response to the music. At a practical level, this means making appropriate use of dynamics, phrasing, timbre and articulation to bring the music to life. Composers may specify ...
and artistic performance.


History

The conference began as a workshop (NIME 01) at the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) in 2001 in
Seattle, Washington Seattle ( ) is a port, seaport city on the West Coast of the United States. It is the county seat, seat of King County, Washington, King County, Washington (state), Washington. With a 2020 population of 737,015, it is the largest city in bo ...
, with the concert and demonstration sessions being held at the Experience Music Project museum. Since then, international conferences have been held annually around the world:


Areas of application

The following is a partial list of topics covered by the NIME conference: * Design reports on novel controllers and interfaces for musical expression * Performance experience reports on live performance and composition using novel controllers * Controllers for virtuosic performers, novices, education and entertainment * Perceptual & cognitive issues in the design of musical controllers * Movement, visual and physical expression with sonic expressivity * Musical mapping algorithms and intelligent controllers * Novel controllers for collaborative performance * Interface protocols for musical control (e.g.
Open Sound Control Open Sound Control (OSC) is a protocol for networking sound synthesizers, computers, and other multimedia devices for purposes such as musical performance or show control. OSC's advantages include interoperability, accuracy, flexibility and enh ...
) * Artistic, cultural, and social impact of new performance interfaces * Real-time gestural control in musical performance * Mapping strategies and their influence on digital musical instrument design * Sensor and
actuator An actuator is a component of a machine that is responsible for moving and controlling a mechanism or system, for example by opening a valve. In simple terms, it is a "mover". An actuator requires a control device (controlled by control signal) a ...
technologies for musical applications * Haptic and force feedback devices for musical control *
Real-time computing Real-time computing (RTC) is the computer science term for hardware and software systems subject to a "real-time constraint", for example from event to system response. Real-time programs must guarantee response within specified time constra ...
tools and interactive systems * Pedagogical applications of new interfaces - Courses and curricula
