!netmusucsb Reading "Where Are We? Extended music practice on the internet". I was really taken by the parts that talked about the importance of the aggregate environment of a music performance in the perception of that music. In my music and as a concert producer, I've put a lot of consideration into the infinity of aspects of a concert that integrate into the music itself. I thought the extension of that line of thought into the equally limitless number of aspects that affect a network performance was compelling. There is a great tradition of experimental music that, rather than ignoring or mitigating the distracting factors present at a music performance, exploits them (Cage's 4'33" is an obvious example). I'm also imagining a version of Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting In A Room" performed collaboratively over a network. I am sitting in many rooms?
