Composing in Cyberspace

Abstract

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 samples based on my own compositional work. They illuminate examples of an extended field of work, which seeks to distance itself from the much invoked „ivory tower”.
