http://nime2010.org/On behalf of the NIME 2010 Committee, we invite you to be part of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression. The core purpose of NIME is to examine interfaces/instruments for musical expression. The ++ portion of the 2010 conference concerns projects/papers that collaborate with music or sound via multi-disciplinary, cross-disciplinary and multimodal expression. Projects that collaborate with other disciplines, extending the musical or sonic framework are invited, and vice-versa.
