Click::RAND#2 reinterprets an historical relationship between a book of random digits and the electromechanical relay. These artefacts are used as the input and output media of the work to express a series of compositional forms through an indeterminate sound sculpture.

This paper investigates how scores have been used by the NIME community. In particular, we primarily looked at the role that scores play in performance ecologies, using ARCAA, a recent framework created to investigate artifact ecologies in computer music performances.

We review the last four years of research on NIME evaluation and compare results to previous works showing stable patterns and newer directions of research focusing on dynamic factors such as hedonic and cognitive aspects of UX.

Musical grid interfaces have been part of the musical controller and instrument landscape for several decades. This paper gives an overview of the past design developments and future opportunities of these musical interfaces.

In this empirical case study, interaction logs and survey data are collected from children who composed music with Codetta. Their behaviour is analysed to discover correlates against a socially-validated creativity metric, using Amabile's Consensual Assessment Technique.

In this paper, we investigate the exploration of 3D textures in the design of Mixed and Virtual Reality instruments, focusing on the selection mechanisms and how they might impact musical interaction.

Overview and analysis of Teaching Interfaces for Musical Expression designed for the Girls Electronic Arts Retreat.

Developing an interactive 3D model based on Grisey’s 'Talea'

Passing on tacit knowledge of DMI making and the challenges of documentation

This paper presents the results from an online survey focusing on electronic music-making and imagined ideal interfaces for music creation.

What makes a mapping work well? Results from two mapping design studies.

An investigation into the application of Transformer Neural networks to the task of automated generation of symbolic musical rhythm

An example of a performance strategy for hyperinstruments that uses the existing virtuosity on the acoustic instrument to facilitate easy access to its features.

This paper presents the design of a customisable virtual companion for live performance that allows for retrieving sounds from the cloud based on a situated musical action defined by the live coder.

Speculātor is an audio-reactive soundscape augmentation artifact that is purpose-built following a practice-driven iterative development process for use in a series of installations that target music-like qualities present in insect vocalizations.

This article describes a software tool designed for real-time rhythmic control in sampling synthesis.

A review of interactive sound installations led to the elaboration of a taxonomy combining three perspectives: Artistic Intention, Interaction and System Design. A dynamic visualization of the taxonomy is provided as a web application.

Our findings suggest that the CDR has an impact on the sense of presence, on the perceived difficulty of controlling the sound and on the distance covered by the hand. From these results, we derive a set of insights and guidelines for the design of IVMIs.

A new DMI seeks to find musicality in the laws of chaos physics.

Creating Inclusive Musical Instruments Made for Playing Together

This paper describes Oopsy, which provides a streamlined process for editing digital signal processing algorithms using Max/MSP's gen~, and placing them in the context of embedded hardware and modular synthesizers using Electro-smith Daisy platform.

The paper presents a novel design for a robotic violinist that can perform Carnatic music including continuous pitch embellishments called gamakas.

Exploring affordances in Virtual Reality for disabled musicians.

NIME 2021 paper "Human noise at the fingertip: Positional (non)control under varying haptic × musical conditions"

A discussion about the concepts of Gambiarra and Techno-Vernacular Creativity in the context of increasing cultural diversity in NIME Research

A broad experiment in Human-In-The-Loop music making with a plethora of AIs

Input devices common to new music interfaces are investigated in a user study based on information theory

In the work we present here, we focus on the development on our AI-terity instrument. Our main contribution in this paper is the new deep learning architecture that we implemented, autonomous features that we built in relation to the deep leaning model and the improved 3D model.

Exploration of a musical mapping space using a novel bend shape sensor. Main finding is that high fidelity shape sensing enables complex intermediate mappings for interpretable control leading to expressive musical control.

Aeolis: A virtual software instrument producing pitched tones using subtractive synthesis, with soundscape recordings as input.
