Designing for Style in New Musical Interactions

In this paper we discuss the concept of style, focusing in particular on methods of designing new instruments that facilitate the cultivation and recognition of style. We distinguish between style and structure of an interaction and discuss the significance of this formulation within the context of NIME. Two workshops that were conducted to explore style in interaction design are described, from which we identify elements of style that can inform and influence the design process. From these, we suggest steps toward designing for style in new musical interactions.
