Abstract:
Listeners have long been inspired to interact with commercial music and create new representations of popular releases. Vinyl offered many opportunities to reappropriate chart music, from scratching and tempo manipulation to mixing multiple songs. Nowadays, artists can engage their audience to interact with the music by offering mix stems for experimentation, a trend started by Nine Inch Nails in 2005 continuing to artists such as U2 in 2014. With the extended processing power of mobile devices, the opportunities for interactive music are limitless; both Bjork and Peter Gabriel have explored these new platforms in an interactive manner. In this session the presenters will offer a history and context of interactive music, demonstrate their own funded research activities, and discuss future possibilities.
