> 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.
