Abstract:
This workshop covers the emerging field of music intended for performance over networks, including both advanced research networks and the public Internet. The discussion will cover experimentally determined limits for delay between locations, and methods for performance both above and below these thresholds. Representatives of several different dedicated systems and projects will be present, each with many years’ experience in the networked music scene. Soundjack and the Jamlink hardware interface will be discussed as examples of realistic interaction over networks, while JackTrip and the Digital Musician Link will show methods for overcoming long latencies on long-distance network links. There will also be a discussion of artistic strategies for overcoming excessive delay in performance.
