Internet Music

Music in which the internet is integral either to its composition, or dissemination, or both. Currently, the main distinctive characteristics of internet music are:

  • Asynchronicity
  • Interactivity
  • Multi-user
  • Co-operation
  • Emergence

Whilst the last two may also be said to be characteristics of conventional music making, the medium of the internet requires a special notion of social intercourse and co-operation which is peculiar.

Musique par Internet

Musique dans laquelle Internet est intégré au processus de composition, de diffusion ou les deux à la fois. Actuellement, les principales caractéristiques de la musique par Internet sont :

  • asynchronicité ;
  • interactivité ;
  • multi-utilisateurs ;
  • coopération ;
  • émergence.

Les deux derniers termes sont aussi utilisés pour décrire les caractéristiques de la musique conventionnelle, toutefois, le médium Internet nécessite une notion particulière de rapports sociaux et de coopération.

Internet Music

Musica che integra l'utilizzo di Internet nel processo di composizione, di diffusione o di entrambe. Le sue principali caratteristiche sono: - l'asincronicità - l'interattività - la multi-utenza - la co-operazione - l'emersione (emergence).

Sebbene le ultime due caratteristiche siano applicabili anche alla musica convenzionale, nel caso della musica per Internet esse implicano accezioni particolari legate ai rapporti sociali e alla cooperazione.

Internet-Musik

Music in which the internet is integral either to its composition, or dissemination, or both. Currently, the main distinctive characteristics of internet music are:

  • Asynchronicity
  • Interactivity
  • Multi-user
  • Co-operation
  • Emergence

Whilst the last two may also be said to be characteristics of conventional music making, the medium of the internet requires a special notion of social intercourse and co-operation which is peculiar.

Internet Music ([La] Música en Internet)

  • Asincronicidad
  • Interactividad
  • Multiusuario
  • Cooperación
  • Emergencia

Puede decirse que, mientras las últimas dos también son características de formas convencionales de hacer música, Internet requiere una noción especial y particular de cooperación e intercambio social.
