Networked music: Low and high tech

Abstract

This article gathers some performances and research efforts that are devoted to networked music. Brief descriptions are used to present the ideas and opportunities that are continually arising and intriguing many musicians even though the prospect itself is difficult because of infrastructural needs and politics. There are more and more intrepid travelers willing to suffer the 'head banging' and communication difficulties that are part of this emerging field. © 2009 Taylor & Francis.
