I arranged in cooperation NMH an international workshop on hyperimprovisation where the theme was; own practise with real-time improvisation and augmented instruments. The seminar took place at NMH during Ultima festival from 15-17 September 2009.

I have during the conference met some of the best international performers working in my field. I made a presentation of my project during this conference and got a lot of important feedback. I had the possibility to discuss musical, aesthetical and technical questions more informally with the participants during the seminar. To put the music, improvisation own practise and interaction with the computer as the main topic has been missing in many conferences such as NIME and ICMC etc.

I hope to arrange this seminar on annual basis and refine and sharpen the topic.

I have got written feedback from the participants and this feedback will be important for forthcoming seminars.

Participants: Victoria Johnson, Cléo Palacio-Quintin, Øyvind Brandtsegg, Peter Tornquist, Hans Tammen, Jan Schacher, Alex Gunia, Bjørnar Habbestad,
Tanja Orning, Natasha Barrett, Kjell Tore Innervik, Alexander Refsum Jensenius.
