The Interactive Telecommunications course at New York Univesity's Tisch School of the Arts is home to the New Interfaces for Musical Expression class that I co-teach with Gideon D'Arcangelo.

Music in performance is the primary subject of this class.   We will approach questions such as "What is performance?", "What makes a musical interface intuitive and emotionally immediate?" and "How do we create meaningful correlations between performance gestures and their musical consequences?"  Students design and prototype a musical instrument - a complete system encompassing musical controller, algorithm for mapping input to sound, and the sound output itself.  The class culminates in a musical performance where students demonstrate their instruments.

Please see the class website for more information.  The active journal of class proceedings is here.
