ContinuuCon, the First Continuum Fingerboard Conference, took place June 9–11, 2016 in Asheville, NC.
The event focused on the Haken Audio Continuum – a highly expressive music synthesizer and controller – and featured concerts, workshops, lectures and more. Speakers included: Dr. Lippold Haken, inventor of the Continuum; and Edmund Eagan, developer of the Continuum’s synthesis engine EaganMatrix. And it featured performances by Eagan, Rob Schwimmer, Pallav Pandya, Wayne Kirby and others.

This was one of the most inspiring musical experiences I’ve had so far, and I’ve had a few. A really great group of people exploring technology and expression. Great stuff.
Maybe the first conference I’ve ever attended where every presentation was interesting and fully attended.
the last one was a very interesting talk, wish there was some info regarding the future of continuum though..
Humbling. Wonderful and moving. I must explore this new desire! Thank you.
