NIME: New Interfaces for Musical Expression
Creating new performance tools for digital music.

It's that time again for the eighth annual NIME concert, where performers play a series of newly designed electronic instruments that aim to keep the “live” in the live performance of digital music.

This year's NIME concert will feature such innovations as a musically enhanced sewing machine, sonified floor tiles, performative knitting needles, turntablism for live instrumentalists, electronically controlled cartoon antics, novel realizations of the rock guitar, and a host of other exciting approaches to the creation of music.

8pm-11pm (Doors 7pm)
Where: Southpaw
125 Fifth Avenue
