Modern technology – primarily the computer and the electronic sound-producing devices that can be connected to it – is playing an increasingly important role in the music and composition of our time. Many view this development with trepidation, fearing that machines will sooner or later entirely take over the role of creative human beings, and that music as we know it will cease to exist. There are many attempts underway around the world to arrest this process and to bring about a healthy relati...onship between the creative artist, the instrumentalist and the listener. It is in the spirit of these latter endeavours that an initiative was conceived by the US-based Hungarian harpist Erzsébet Gaál and the American percussionist Scott Deal to combine a concert with a presentation under the title of The Wired Musician. This new kind of musical performance, which already has an established tradition in America, bears the name of “telematic art”. The presentation and course will aim to clarify this concept, explaining the essence of the interactive and creative relationship between human and computer, presenting examples of the public interconnection between acoustic and computer-generated music, the modes and possibilities of interactive connections between performer and listener, challenges that arise when accomplishing these tasks, and many other related themes and ideas.
