Dear NIME community,
11th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

We would like to remind you that the deadline for submissions to this
year’s NIME conference is only 3 weeks away. The core purpose of the
NIME conference is to present the latest results in design,
development, performance and analysis of/for/with new
interfaces/instruments for musical use. In 2011 we will put an extra
emphasis on performance aspects related to NIME, something which will
also be addressed in a symposium, workshops and master classes in the
days leading up to the conference.
We invite for the following types of submissions (see below for

CALL FOR PAPERS
We welcome submissions on all above mentioned (and other) topics
related to scientific research, development and artistic use of new
interfaces for musical expression. There are three different paper
submission categories:
– Full paper (up to 6 pages in proceedings, longer oral presentation,
optional demonstration)
– Short paper/poster (up to 4 pages in proceedings, shorter oral
presentation or poster, optional demonstration)
– Demonstration (up to 2 pages in proceedings)

international experts. Accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceedings (with an ISSN).

CALL FOR PERFORMANCES
We welcome submission of pieces for three different types of
performance venues:
– Concert hall performance
– Club performance
– Foyer “stunt” performance
Any type of NIME performance pieces are welcome, but we would
particularly like to encourage the use of motion capture techniques in
performance. For this we can make available several different types of
motion capture systems (Qualisys, XSens, Optitrack, Mega). Network
pieces and mobile music pieces are also encouraged. Within reasonable
limits, we may be able to provide musicians to perform pieces.
All submissions will be subject to peer review by at least three
international experts. Documentation of the pieces will be made
available on the NIME web page after the conference.

CALL FOR PERFORMANCE PLUS PAPER
To support more cross-disciplinary work between scientific and
artistic research, we highly encourage submissions of performance
pieces related to papers. Here the scientific presentation may be the
basis for the artistic presentation, or vice versa.
Submissions within this category will have to be done for both the
piece and the paper, with a clear note that paper and piece belongs
together. Evaluation will be based on the combined quality of both
submissions.
CALL FOR INSTALLATIONS
We call for installations to be presented during the NIME conference.
These may be foyer location installations or room-based installations.
Within reasonable limits, we may be able to provide speakers,
projectors, etc. for the installations.

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
We call for half-day (3 hours) or full-day (3+3 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.
Workshop proposers 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 specialised interest or interdisciplinary
topic in depth with greater time for discourse, debate, collaboration.
Admission to workshops and tutorials will be charged separately from
the main conference. Proposer(s) are responsible for publishing any
workshop proceedings (if desired) and should engage in the promotion
of their event amongst own networks. Workshops may be cancelled or
combined if there is inadequate participation.
