Syllabus
  • - Music and new media - a marriage of convenience?
  • - Technological conditionality of music - music of machines and instruments.
  • - Digitality of music and music encoding (from Neum to MP3, the possibility of visual representation).
  • - Modularity of music (music as a kit, the impact of mobile technology).
  • - Music as a hypertext (redefining the author concept - performer - audience).
  • - Music interactivity - interface changes (J. Cage, G. Levin, D. Long, T. Dvorak, etc.).
  • - Multimediality (music in the context of other media),
  • - Space music - music in space / space in music.
  • - Aesthetics of Music in New Media (functional × absolute, authentic × eclectic, high x low).
  • - Artwork in the age of its digital reproducibility.
  • - Music mobility - metamorphosis of the memory.
  • - Materialization of sound - music as a physical object.
