::::digital COMPUTER MUSIC made out of computer hardware parts::::

_pre-recorded audio from computer hardware manipulations [using
computer hardware as musical instruments] processed and
de-constructed live, digitally_

For this venue I will be studying the idea of a virtual-sound-city by
recording audio pieces, utilizing computer hardware as the only physical
'musical instruments' to produce the recorded sound. These recordings
of hardware manipulations will be processed afterwards through various
popular music software engines in a series of long length private and
public performances which will be webcast in real time, through the
Reverie server during the months of December and January 2004/2005.

The webcast performances will be abstract audio net-installations
and they will be focused primarily on the concept rather than on
schematic or structured musical compositions. These web installations
and audio investigations will question the parameters of virtual
reality in present times by approaching the physical necessities
(in this case the computer hardware) of digital communication,
and combining both computer sound elements digital + physical
in the streamed work.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In this project the now common phrase "computer music"
is re-contextualized by referring to the fact, that the
primary sound will belong to the computer hardware's
physical properties: computer music made out of
computer parts.
