“…The potential for new forms and genres suggests exciting opportunities for research, particularly in generating and transmitting ‘vital information’ by musical and technological means. Nevejan ( 2007 ) suggests that “when in trouble, one needs good information and good communication; i.e. one needs ‘vital information’” (p. 175), which is information that “supports survival for a specific person in a specific place at a specific time” (Nevejan 2007 , p. 175).…”

Vital information in networked music is crucial in facilitating synchronisation, in contrast to the traditional performance setting, where ensemble musicians rely on low-latency audio and visual communication.…”

“…These dimensions are useful for understanding the constraints, artificial or otherwise, which are created when presence is mediated by technology. Nevejan’s ( 2007 ) research shows that such relationships can be measured and categorised, and through this process, we can create vital information and expose new aesthetic strategies by the exploitation of the fabrications, synthesises and synchronisations of presence as influenced by digital mediation.…”

“…Critical information must be created and exchanged in ways other than the traditional cues used by musicians in composite space. Nevejan ( 2007 ) states that “for information to be vital, it has to touch upon our natural presence physically or socially. Mediated presence, which generates vital information, will also ultimately have this effect” (p. 174).…”

Aesthetic and technical strategies for networked music performance

Networked music is no longer a future genre: the global quarantine event of 2020 launched the concept of performing together over the Internet into the mainstream. While the demand for performing at a distance may be a new imperative, musicians find themselves faced with technological and performative processes that do not appear to be suitable for performing music together online, due particularly to network latency which disrupts the ability for musicians to synchronize. The research presented in this paper investigates and challenges the reasons why networked music is not readily embraced by musicians and describes how that might change, by way of interviews with practitioners and an in-depth review of the technical constraints. Limitations that might cause frustration are in fact shown to have creative strategies that give rise to aesthetic approaches, distinct to the platform. By exploiting the constraints, in tandem with developing technology designed specifically for remote performance, aesthetic implications arise that not only accommodate the inconveniences of latency and acoustic feedback but can help us adapt and transform how we engage in real-time online, towards a future where we can imagine performing together over even more dramatic distances such as high-latency, low-bandwidth locations outside of urban areas—or even over galactic distances.
