November 2024: There are some new AUMI videos to see in the
AUMI Media page.!
AUMI for iOS 2.2.2 is now (April 22, 2024) in the App Store!.
There are many redesigns and fixes in version 2.2.2!
It fixes the fact that 2.2.1 needed iOS 17 to run, but 2.2.2 works down to iOS 12.5.7! Look for better camera support, motion smoothing, the exciting "Take 5" rhythm, a few more tunings, and more! Click here:
for more information about AUMI 2.2.2
The Instructions have also been spruced up so take a look at the
AUMI 2.2.1 Instructions PDF file. (2.2.2 pdf to come soon)

AUMI Book Update! (July 2021)
The AUMI Editorial Collective has submitted a book manuscript, Improvising Across Abilities: Pauline Oliveros and the Adaptive Use Musical Instrument (AUMI) to a book series entitled Music & Social Justice at University of Michigan Press. Our call for chapters-of-all-shapes-and-sizes yielded a wealth of essays, poems, artwork, and media. The manuscript we submitted contains 33 chapters, as well as accompanying media files—audio and video. We hope to hear from the press this fall, and will share updates at that time. Many thanks to all of the musicians, dancers, composers, poets, theatre artists, visual artists, programmers, developers, and designers; all the occupational and music therapists and teachers, communities, librarians, disability advocates, and activists for social justice who work with AUMI and who contributed to this exciting volume. We look forward to sharing more widely the work you have shared with us.
