Mobilemusical instruments that take advantage of the unique interface elements andextreme portability of either standard smartphone platforms or custom-made hardware

devices to revolutionize how and where music is made.

Roboticsmechanical devices that play an existing acoustic instrument or containsuch an instrument within their design, facilitating the performance of novel music and/or

creating novel collaborations with other musicians while they demonstrate the potential

for musicianship in the robotic realm.

Repurposed musical instruments that are inspired by existing non-musicalobjects, building upon their design to show the latent musicality we regularly encounter

but might not otherwise notice.

Augmented musical instruments inspired by existing acoustic instruments,building upon their existing design, playing technique and performance practice with new

elements that extend their expressive capabilities.Controllers novel hardware interfaces that can be readily connected to othersoftware or hardware via a standard protocol, immediately expanding the expressive

performance capabilities of anything with which they are linked.

Transfiguration (T Controllerists) Turning something into something else: using

pre-recorded loops and patterns to mash together, effect and generally mangle in any way tocreate a track or live set. Examples: Ean Golden, Nosaj Thing, Daedelus.

Conjuration(C Controllerists) Creating something out of nothing: using virtualinstruments or a collection of sounds/one shots/noises to create a track or set, either by live

looping and overdubbing or by playing the whole thing from beginning to end. Examples:

Edison, Jeremy Ellis(when using the Maschine exclusively), Colfax.

Hybrid(H Controllerists) Heavily relying on both Conjuration and Transfiguration tocreate a live track or set. Although C Controllerists might use some occasional slices and T

Controllerists might use one shots sometimes, H Controllerists use both approaches to an

extent that letting go of either would mean not having a live set at all. Examples: Audiosurfer,

Soul Glitch.

Theres also an InstrumentApproach(resulting in TI, CI and HI Controllerists) toeach of these types, which basically means using an external audio source (an electric guitar,

a didgeridoo, a hardware synth, an MPC, beatboxing, a plastic water bottle, etc) in

conjunction with the audio created by the software. Examples:Moldover (after the light

theremin album), Tim Exile.
