Post-DMI musical Instruments

Published: 04 October 2016 Publication History

Abstract

What are the particularities of developing contemporary instruments? This text points out how the authors observed both a focal shift and persisting elements in the design of contemporary digital musical instruments (DMI's). Based on observations around selected instrument prototypes that were developed by students as well as the authors, four constituent aspects of the development process of hybrid instruments emerged: corporeality --- the role of the body, materiality --- the role of material, sound --- the instrument's sonic appearance, and control --- its behaviour.
