A term proposed by Simon Waters, hybrid thinking is concerned with a shift from a modernist context for the production and consumption of electroacoustic music to a more fluid and socially aware paradigm. The development of digital technologies (which imply a shift towards a 'sampling culture'), cultural pluralism and relativism, shifts in power and economic structures and other phenomena create a hybrid musical culture. In this hybrid culture, boundaries between art forms, musical genres, relations between disciplines and relations between producers and consumers of music are blurred in creatively enabling ways.

Terme proposé par Simon Waters désignant le développement d'un contexte moderniste permettant la production et l'utilisation de la musique électroacoustique à un paradigme plus ouvert et centré sur des préoccupations sociales. Le développement des technologies numériques (impliquant un basculement vers une culture de l'échantillon), le pluralisme et le relativisme culturel, les structures économiques et les changements de pouvoir ainsi que d'autres phénomènes créés une culture musicale hybride. Dans ce type de culture, les frontières entre les formes artistiques, les genres musicaux, les relations entre les disciplines et les relations entre les producteurs et les consommateurs sont brouillés et permettent de nouvelles voies de création.

Termine proposto da Simon Waters per indicare la trasformazione del contesto modernista di produzione e fruizione della musica elettroacustica in un paradigma più fluido e socialmente consapevole. Una cultura musicale ibrida è provocata e caratterizzata dallo sviluppo delle tecnologie numeriche (e una forte virata verso una cultura del campionamento, “sampling culture”), dal pluralismo e dal relativismo culturale, dai cambiamenti delle strutture di potere ed economiche, e molto altro. In questo tipo di cultura, le frontiere tra le forme artistiche, i generi musicali, le relazioni tra le discipline e le relazioni tra i produttori e i consumatori diventano confuse e permettono nuove forme di creatività.

El Pensamiento Híbrido, término propuesto por Simon Waters, se ocupa de un cambio del contexto modernista para la producción y consumo de música electroacústica hacia un paradigma más fluído y con conciencia social. El desarrollo de tecnologías digitales (que implican un cambio hacia la "cultura del sampling"), el relativismo y pluralismo cultural, los cambios en el poder y las estructuras económicas, y otros fenómenos, crean una cultura musical híbrida. En esta cultura híbrida, la creatividad permite desdibujar los límites entre las formas de arte, los géneros musicales, y las relaciones entre las disciplinas, y entre los productores y consumidores de música.
