Proceedings of the 2024 International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME2024)Abstract:
This article presents two case studies featuring DMIs, the T- Stick and the Karlax, aiming to showcase various technical and performance obstacles encountered in existing and new compositions for novel instruments. The analysis covers different stages of a performance, including preparatory processes, practice sessions, and the actual performance, highlighting challenges faced and solutions implemented. The support obtained through communicating with composers is emphasized. Additionally, the discussion delves into technical considerations, score interpretations, and playing techniques specific to the two DMIs, contributing to a deeper understanding of performance practice. These case studies can inspire DMI designers when creating their instruments so that barriers to performance can be eliminated. Further- more, the findings underscore the necessity for composers to create documentation with comprehensive information, facilitating a thorough understanding for performers of both the instrument’s manipulations and their artistic vision.
