NIME gathers researchers and practitioners around lectures, = installations, concerts, and workshops. We are delighted to host NIME = 2014 at Goldsmiths, University of London, bringing NIME for the first = time to London and situating the conference within highly developed UK = research networks in music computing, media, design, and HCI, and = connecting NIME research to a thriving local music scene, art, and = interaction design communities. In its second decade, one can say that NIME, as a field, has = =E2=80=9Carrived.=E2=80=9D Sensing technology is ubiquitous in consumer = products like smart-phones and video game controllers. Computer-based = music performance is no longer contained in specialised genres, but has = become the norm in a broad range of musical styles. The success of = interactive music technologies puts in question the very need for NIME = to even exist.=20 The take-up of NIME techniques in all music causes the technology to = disappear and forces us to focus on the music. This represents a = double-edged sword. While the focus on musical quality is paramount, it = can only be built upon foundations of solid craft and excellent science. = In order to avoid re-inventing the wheel, and worse yet, repeating = mistakes, NIME needs to build a legacy of reproducible results, citable = references, and transferrable methods and techniques that can be = transmitted to students, broader groups of musicians, and amateurs eager = to engage in richer musical experiences. New instruments and interaction are at the heart of NIME. Lutherie and = composition combine to create the means to deliver compelling live = performances. This is an ideal, and is more often than not, assumed. In = between the science of interaction and the art of music-making are the = cultural and theoretical considerations about what comprises an exciting = performance.=20 With the theme Liveness, we draw upon Philip Auslander=E2=80=99s reading = of this seemingly simple word as a way to look at issues of = authenticity, experience, and the role that theatricality and = mediatization might play in reinforcing or detracting from a successful = performer/audience dynamic. We will build upon a productive history of collaboration between = Goldsmiths and Brunel University in the Brunel Electronic and Analogue = Music (BEAM) festival to bring added excitement to the NIME 2014 concert = and exhibition programme. We will partner with high profile venues such = as Caf=C3=A9 Oto and DIY communities like London Music Hackspace to open = up the NIME artistic programme to the general public and connect our = research community to the thriving music scene in London. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION On behalf of the NIME 2014 Committee, we would like to invite you to be = part of the 14th international conference on New Interfaces for Musical = Expression. We invite submission of new works in the following categories: =E2=80=A2 Papers and Posters =E2=80=A2 Performances and Installations =E2=80=A2 Workshops and Tutorials =E2=80=A2 Demonstrations and Demo-performances Important dates: =E2=80=A2 Artistic programme: Performances & Installation works Submissions due: December 1, 2013 Review Notification: February 1, 2014 =E2=80=A2 Scientific programme: Papers, Workshops, Demonstrations:=20 Draft submission (mandatory): January 31, 2014=20 Final submission: February 7, 2014 Review notification: March 28, 2014 Camera-ready paper deadline: April 18, 2014 An online submission system will open on November 1st, 2013 and its = address will be published here. N.B. Please note that the art programme deadline this year does not = coincide with the paper deadline. N.B. Please note the new system in the scientific programme for = mandatory draft submission followed by full submission. We have = implemented this new system to address the perennial deadline = extensions. This year, we will not offer extensions. The Draft = Submission deadline corresponds to previous years=E2=80=99 submission = deadline. On this date, the author must be registered on the online = submission system and have submitted a full draft manuscript of their = paper. You will then have one week (the time of prior years=E2=80=99 = extensions) to make minor edits to your manuscript. =20 SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME CALL FOR PAPERS We welcome submissions of original research on scientific and artistic = use of new interfaces for musical expression. A non-exhaustive list of = NIME related topics is found below. This list is inclusive, and = indicative. The thematic focus of this year=E2=80=99s edition is = Liveness, and is described in the introduction above. We also encourage = submissions that extend, stretch, or challenge the NIME topics and = themes.=20 Acceptance criteria: The paper under consideration must propose an = original contribution to NIME research; it must cite prior related work = and should demonstrate rigorous research methodology. There are three different paper submission categories: =E2=80=A2 Full paper (up to 6 pages in proceedings, longer oral = presentation, optional demo) =E2=80=A2 Short paper/poster (up to 4 pages in proceedings, = shorter oral presentation or poster, optional demo) =E2=80=A2 Demo paper (up to 2 pages in proceedings, = demonstration) Submitted papers will be subject to a peer review process by an = international expert committee. All accepted papers will be published in = the conference proceedings, under an ISSN/ISBN reference, and will be = archived online after the conference to be tracked by citation tools. A = manuscript submitted for review cannot be already under review for = publication elsewhere, or be submitted for a second review elsewhere = while under review for NIME 2014. Authors of both full and short papers = are greatly encouraged to submit a video in support of their paper. A = video is mandatory for demonstration submission. Review process detailed here = http://www.nime.org/nime2014#reviewprocesspapers A best paper award will be presented to the individual(s) judged by the = scientific committee to have written the best paper appearing in the = conference proceedings. CALL FOR WORKSHOPS We invite submissions for half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours) = workshops and tutorials. These can be targeted towards specialist = techniques, platforms, hardware, software or pedagogical topics for the = advancement of fellow NIME-ers and people with experience related to the = topic. They can also be targeted towards visitors to the NIME community, = novices/newbies, interested student participants, people from other = fields, and members of the public getting to know the potential of NIME.=20= Tutorial proposals should clearly indicate the audience and assumed = knowledge of their intended participants to help us market to the = appropriate audience. Workshops and tutorials can relate to, but are not = limited to, the topics of the conference. This is a good opportunity to = explore a specialized interest or interdisciplinary topic in depth with = greater time for discourse, debate, and collaboration. ARTISTIC PROGRAMME CALL FOR PERFORMANCES & INSTALLATIONS We invite submission of proposals for performances and installations. = Proposed performances should have a clear connection with the substance = of the NIME conference. We expand the notion of NIME in the performance = programme, to include the exploration of existing interfaces into new = sounds, new methods or new ways of being physical. These performances = might re-insert the body into digital performance, or they might suggest = new modes of performing and the presentation of live music that go = beyond existing practices whilst exploiting the unique affordances of = interfaces and technologies.=20 We encourage submissions that explore:=20 =E2=80=A2 Novel and exploratory use of interfaces in performance=20= =E2=80=A2 Both old and new interfaces=20 =E2=80=A2 Use of innovative, imaginative and creative methods.=20= We invite you to consider fully what a performance can be: you should go = well beyond demonstrating the interface and we will consider any = performance that is in the realm of live, electronically-produced sound, = where an interface is central to the realisation of the music. Submitted proposals will be reviewed by an expert committee. Preference = will be given to submissions with strong evidence that the proposed = performance has already been realized or is technically feasible and = within the artists' capabilities. We particularly invite premieres from = performers with a track record, or with interfaces that have been well = tested.=20 CALL FOR DEMO-PERFORMANCES This year, we introduce a hybrid zone between the artistic and = scientific programme by creating a new category of = demonstration-performance. This is particularly apt for new interfaces = and performance sketches which are still in the testing or early = artistic phase. A lively demo session will allow you to set up your = piece or instrument and give short performances in an unstaged setting. TECHNICAL NOTES =E2=80=A2 Performance proposals in conjunction with paper submissions = are allowed, but each will be judged on its own merit.=20 =E2=80=A2 Typical NIME performance pieces last for 5-15 minutes, but = shorter and longer performance proposals may exceptionally be taken into = consideration. =E2=80=A2 Within reasonable limits, we may be able to provide musicians = to perform pieces but this would be negotiated on a piece-by-piece = basis. =E2=80=A2 Documentation of the performances will be available online = after the conference unless this is impossible due to the nature of the = performance. SUBMISSION FORMAT You should submit a PDF document, maximum 4 pages. The proposal should = include the following: =E2=80=A2 Title and detailed description of the proposed performance. =E2=80=A2 A link to one primary video documentation of an example = performance with the relevant interface. (If video documentation is = inappropriate for your performance, please explain why and instead send = an audio file with accompanying photographs (these do not need to be to = marketing standard, they are more for explanation of how your = performance will look).=20 =E2=80=A2 Links to any relevant supplementary supporting media files = (audio and video). =E2=80=A2 Number of performers and the instruments and technologies that = will be used. =E2=80=A2 Names of all participants/submitters, with a short bio for = each (100 words). =E2=80=A2 Details of technical requirements for the venue. Diagrams of = the preferred stage setup and signal routing are recommended. =E2=80=A2 Evidence of the feasibility of the performance. Include = documentation and listings of past performances or related works = that demonstrate the submitter's capabilities to implement the proposed = performance.=09 =E2=80=A2 A list of any equipment that needs to be provided by the = conference organizers. =E2=80=A2 Any instrumental performers that would need to be provided by = the organizers. Note that the conference organizers may not be able to = accommodate your request. Please also note that the organizers cannot = provide funding to support performers' travel or accommodation at the = conference. TOPICS Core topics central to NIME include the following. In addition to = submissions that address specific themes of this year=E2=80=99s edition = of the conference, original contributions are encouraged in, but not = limited to, the following topics: - Novel controllers and interfaces for musical expression - Novel musical instruments - Augmented/hyper instruments - Novel controllers for collaborative performance - Sensor and actuator technologies - Haptic and force feedback devices - Motion, gesture and music - Interfaces for dance and physical expression - Multimodal expressive interfaces - Interfaces for musical expression for hearing or visually impaired = people=20 - Interactive game music - NIME intersecting with game design - Robotic music - Mobile music technology and performance paradigms - Biological and bio-inspired systems - Musical mapping strategies - Interactive sound and multimedia installations - Musical human-computer interaction - Interaction design and software tools - Interface protocols and data formats - Sonic interaction design - Perceptual and cognitive issues - Performance analysis - Performance rendering and generative algorithms - Machine learning in musical performance - Experiences with novel interfaces in live performance and composition - Surveys of past work and stimulating ideas for future research - Historical studies in twentieth-century instrument design - Artistic, cultural, and social impact of NIME technology - Novel interfaces in music education and entertainment - Reports on student projects in the framework of NIME related courses - Practice-based research approaches/methodologies/criticism - User studies/evaluations of NIME - Language and state in live interaction - Musicianship of new musical interfaces ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General co-chairs Atau Tanaka (Goldsmiths) Rebecca Fiebrink (Goldsmiths) Scientific co-chairs Baptiste Caramiaux (Goldsmiths) Koray Tahiro=C4=9Flu (Aalto University, Helsinki) Artistic co-chairs Sarah Nicolls (Brunel University) Adam Parkinson (Goldsmiths) Posters and demos co-chairs Marco Donnarumma (Goldsmiths) Alessandro Altavilla (Goldsmiths) Special Sessions co-chairs Marco Gillies (Goldsmiths) Alex McLean (University of Leeds) Jean-Baptiste Thiebaut (ROLI/Music Hackspace) Student Volunteer Coordinators Peter Mackenzie (Goldsmiths) Anna Weisling (Goldsmiths) Conference Producer Stephanie Horak (Goldsmiths) ------------------------------------- M.Koray Tahiro=C4=9Flu Department of Media, Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture http://sopi.media.taik.fi/ http://mlab.taik.fi/~korayt tel: +358 45 233 6272 ------------------------------------- M.Koray Tahiro=C4=9Flu Department of Media, Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture http://sopi.media.taik.fi/ http://mlab.taik.fi/~korayt tel: +358 45 233 6272 --Apple-Mail=_CF70C942-6015-40BC-8608-EC2636D3EF23 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html;
