NIME 2022 at the Augmented Instruments Lab

The Augmented Instruments Lab invite you to view NIME 2022 (28 June to 1 July) onsite with us at QMUL. As the conference is entirely virtual this year, we will be hosting colleagues and researchers for viewing, discussion, demos, and general in-person interaction during the conference period. The NIME programme runs from 12pm-12am (BST) each day. This a casual, free gathering open to anyone registered for the NIME conference. Please email us for details if you would like to attend.

As a lab we are thrilled to be presenting 6 papers (all available here):

• The M in NIME: Motivic analysis and the case for a musicology of NIME performances (Lia Mice and Andrew McPherson)
• Quantitative evaluation of aspects of embodiment in new digital musical instruments (Andrea Guidi and Andrew McPherson)
