Novel User Interfaces for Audio and Music Computing 
Friday May 28, 2010, 2-3pm 
Woolworth Music Building, Room 101 

Many tasks in digital music making, audio retrieval, and audio processing become chores, with only few occasions for inspiration and serendipity. This talk is a show & tell presentation of a range of prototypes of enhanced user interfaces developed by the presenter and his collaborators to bring back the fun, such as: 

* Acoustic and visual support for finding music and sounds 
* Improved visual feedback in music sequencers and digital audio workstations 
* Modified on-screen fader controls, modified mice, and color-changing buttons used as controllers for music software 
* Digital music making with the Wii remote controller, a loudspeaker, and other items, among them a bass guitar
