See Bangarama, iTheremin and Rhizomatic and Tag der Informatik 2004!

The theme for the DIS2 SS04 final projects this year was New Interfaces for Musical Expression. Students were asked to create a new computer music instrument using Max/MSP over the span of about 4 weeks.

The first annual DIS2 final project competition was held on Thursday, July 15. Congratulations to all participants for a job extremely well done!
