Main Article Content
Abstract
In the article it is stressed that in the present day we are faced with the emergence of a new milieu of interaction in virtual space which offers new perspectives for musical activity. The author demonstrates that musical performance by means of the web alters to a considerable degree not only the functional correlation of composer-performer-improviser, but also the very principles of working with musical material. In correspondence to how researchers and musicians accept the “rules of the game” of the global web, the article formulates three various approaches, realized in various degrees in contemporary musical practice, to solving the arising “acoustic” and “instrumental” problems.
Keywords: mass media, internet-media, web music, web musical performance
