NIME 2009 (New Interfaces for Musical Expression) is coming to CMU June 4-6 and the last day to get the early registration deadline is tomorrow. From CMU’s Kristi Ries:

   NIME 2009 will feature a variety of workshops, papers, posters, demonstrations, and performances both on and off-campus. Researchers and musicians from all over the world will gather in Pittsburgh to share their knowledge and late-breaking work on new musical interface design, in a series of presentations, installations and concerts.
              Other events include a keynote speech by acclaimed electronic media artist Paul DeMarinisand an international teleconference with computer music pioneers William Buxton, John Chowning, Roger Linn, and Max Mathews.
            The conference also coincides with the introduction of Carnegie Mellon’s innovative new undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Music and Technology, which welcome their first incoming classes this fall.
            Students can register for the conference at the early registration rate of $150 for students by May 1. After May 1, regular student registration will be $200. Early general registration is $300 and after May 1 increases to $400. 
            In addition to the conference, the university also is hosting daylong workshops, all of which take place on campus June 3. Topics for workshop presentations include Sound Synthesis and Algorithmic Composition Using Nyquist and Audacity, Mapping Sensors to Pd via Firmata, Interactivity by Code: SuperCollider, Handmade Electronic Music — The Art of Hardware Hacking, Max MSP, and Sensor interfacing with I-CubeX. 

So if you’re planning on attending now’s the time to register. Looks like a tremendously informative conference.
