Recension: "In New Digital Musical Instruments Eduardo Reck Miranda and Marcelo Mortensen Wanderley focus on musical instruments that use the computer as the main sound-generating device. Such instruments often consist of a gestural controller driving the musical parameters of a sound synthesizer in real-time." "Over the last few decades a community that remained largely marginalized by the academy and industry for a number of years has been the source of various interesting developments in this area. Apart from a few papers scattered in various journals and the proceedings of the relatively new NIME (New Interfaces for Musical Expression) conference, there is no concise literature on this fascinating new topic. This book is an attempts to introduce such developments and inform researchers and musicians interested in designing new digital instruments with control and interaction beyond the conventional keyboard paradigm."--Jacket
