The reactable: Tabletop Tangible Interfaces 
for Multithreaded Musical Performance
A lecture by Sergi Jordá
In recent years we have seen a proliferation of musical tables. Believing that this is not just the result of a tabletop trend, in this paper I first discuss the reasons that make tabletop interfaces promising musical interfaces. After that, I present the […]

A lecture by Alex Carôt
With the current Internet bandwidth capacities and machine processing performance the personal computer has become an affordable and flexible multimedia platform for high quality audio and video content. Beside the delivery of services such as TV, telephone and radio, the Internet can also be used for the exchange of musical information. […]

A Lecture by:
Julian Rohrhuber, Alberto de Campo, Renate Wieser,
Jan-Kees van Kampen, Echo Ho, and Hannes Hölzl.
Abstract:
Since its early computer era, network music has
been involved with algorithms, rules systems and
text terminals. We will address algorithmic
composition where it becomes collaborative live
coding in networks, and where both sounds and
program texts are an element of conversation. The
technical and aesthetic […]

A lecture by Nick Didkovsky
META is a computer program which automatically generates compositions for live ensemble. The software generates musical material from a set of user-defined parameters and provides real-time audition as well as automatic transcription to common music notation. Transcribed scores can be further edited by hand and exported to Finale (via MusicXML), Lilypond, […]

A lecture by Adam Siska
Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest
Although Quintet.net is an appropriate tool for networked, real-time performances, until now it could use only static score sources
(scores previously engraved with the Score Editor of the Quintet.net CDK). On the other hand, there were professional software to
produce musical data in real-time since a long time […]

Abstract by Chris Brown
What do we need to know about each other to play with each other in a network? Do we all have to speak (use) the same language (software?) Do we all have to adhere to an agreed upon protocol? Is that protocol specific to a piece, or could […]

A Lecture by Mark Trayle
Digital networks are a useful medium for musical collaborations remote and present, but can the network itself be a source of musical information? In a network-based musical project how can the performance terrain and the network interact and overlap? How can networks be enhanced to include people who donâ019t play laptop?  […]

A lecture by Karlheinz Essl
The artist’s field of work at all times reflects the prevailing
social and technological circumstances. Due to the explosive
development and availability of new technologies and information
structures the creative field of the composer is also changing: a
time of great upheaval is emerging. - This change will be
demonstrated through some specific examples based on […]

A Lecture by Anne La Berge
“Brokenheart” is a new work for the European Bridges Ensemble (EBE) ensemble and the Dutch LOOS ensemble. In the spring of 2007 I was asked by the EBE to create a work for the Music in the Global Village conference. Quite soon after Peter van Bergen, the director of LOOS, […]

A Lecture by Johannes Kretz
Descriptiption of content (20 minutes/4 pages)
The European concept of representing music with notes in a score is only one possibility among many. Computer music on one hand (especially when inspired by Ethnomusicological sources) and contemporary experimental DJing on the other hand both suggest the extension of those concepts and affect […]

A lecture by Georg Hajdu
This presentation will lay out some new ideas about the role of a conductor in network music performance. Typically, contemporary live electronic music is encountered in form of laptop performances. Here, much the same as in other interactive performance, the man-machine interaction consists of directly manipulating hardware and software. Mixed media […]

A lecture by Marek Choloniewski

GPS-Art is the global interactive instrument used for setting up and processing of audio and video material. It integrates elements of audio-visual installation to be used for intermedia communication. […]

No There .. There
Video Conferencing Software as a Performance Medium
A lecture by Scot Gresham-Lancaster
This paper surveys past performances in which the author collaborated with several other dancers, musicians, and media artists to present synchronized co-located performances at two or more sites. This work grew out of the author’s participation in the landmark computer music ensemble, “The […]

A lecture by Anthony De Ritis
…one of he most compelling examples of communicating the brand and values of an institution anywhere on the Web. By using motion, sound, and highly sophisticated (but beautifully simple) interactive teaching tools, the BSO’s Online Conservatory does more to sell the value of a big-city symphony than any brochure, sell […]

A lecture by Miklós Peternák


The appearance of technical media in every field of life caused major changes in art and culture as well. The followings will not aspire to provide any general analysis of this fact, rather I intend to present here two local initiative, both dedicated to the art and new technologies, from the […]

A Lecture by Golo Föllmer
The contribution reports about a long-term research on networked music practices (Föllmer 2004a & 2005a). Analyses of around 70 examples resulted in the identification of twelve types of net music, grouped into five clusters. A historical overview proposes a phase model in which the focus has shifted from an extreme focus […]

A lecture by Andrea Szigetvári
The notion of the ‘reduced timbre space’ has been provided to help developing systematized control of timbral dimensions. A demonstration of a MAX/MSP patch will follow realizing standard sound synthesis and processing techniques which parameters can be mapped with the help of a matrix. A compositional example is given showing, how […]
