Abstract

This work intends to, first, study the electric guitar as composition and improvisation interface through the use of new technology in experimental music; in a second moment, proposes a composition using some technological devices attached to the electric guitar. These tools were chosen after an extensive mapping individual trial and through its sound processing capabilities when addressed with the instrument. The compositional material was subsequently constructed from observations and author\'s reflections on the use of the instrument as an interface in dialogue with the new technologies available in mobile computing. The work also brings an auto-ethnography record of the research period of a few digital tools selected when in use with the electric guitar and the writing process and recording of the piece proposed, and its subsequent analysis. In its conclusion, therefore presents the observations and reflections from this interaction of the instrument and its new forms of instrumentness when attached to the computer. (AU)
