| Abstract | |
This survey critically looks at a series of sound and musical practices that take advantage of information networks to create collaborative contexts. These practices give rise to a repertoire of works (compositions, performances, websites, installations among others) called Network Music. These works can be located between the late 1990s and the late 2000s; however, a number of musical antecedents are also discussed. The repertoire is distinguished by not following a particular style or musical language, but by strengthening and reshaping the traditional links among composers, performers and listeners through electronic connections. Network Music practices are covered in four different parts. The first chapter deals with theoretical aspects confronting current concepts in twentieth-century music with modes of communication on the Internet. Immediacy is proposed as a cohesive element that gathers concepts such as live and online. The second chapter part examines the repertoire of musical works on the Internet, highlighting some aspects incorporated from Art-Telecom productions. Two strands are identified in producing Network Music, according to the emphasis on communication or compositional aspects. The text discusses strategies and methods for music creation within remote interaction settings enphasizing the subject of distance. The third chapter covers musical performance aspects and focuses on the topic of collaboration. Concepts, resources and methodologies are suggested to the musician who intends to accomplish performances with remote partners via the Internet. The final chapter discusses the NetConcert project carried out during the research period as a member of the ECA/USP Mobile group. (AU) | |
