Noiseborder is an umbrella for a wide range of activities relating to new music at the University of Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Noiseborder-supported projects include creative work, performance series, educational programming, and research. Noiseborder draws on the expertise of a core group of faculty, students, and community members interested in musical experimentation and collaboration, and emphasizes diverse musics, emerging technologies and new performance practices. Noiseborder is ultimately about creating a rich environment for new music at the University of Windsor, an environment that is stimulating for university students, young people interested in the university, faculty, and guest artists.

Noiseborder represents a collaboration between the University of Windsor’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and Centre for Teaching and Learning. Noiseborder makes its home in the suite of television and sound recording studios operated by the CTL, and draws support from a range of institutional, individual, and corporate partners. Noiseborder is under the direction of Dr. Brent Lee.

The Noiseborder Multimedia Performance Lab is supported by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation.
