The latent and unstable nature of networked performances, where the delayed transmission and uncertain, unstable, and compressed reception of transferred information demands scoring conceptualizations that consider the loss of the presence information traditionally expected by musicians when performing together in a shared space and time. The focus...

The potential richness of audio technology on the internet springs from advancements integral to developments driven by the primary concerns of commerce and science, giving rise to operable and affordable bandwidth in newly-accessible geographical areas as well as the growing sophistication of codecs, browser technology and audio frameworks.

Networked music is no longer a future genre: the global quarantine event of 2020 launched the concept of performing together over the Internet into the mainstream.

Iorwerth’s new volume on networked music is ideal for those interested in introducing Networked Music Performance (NMP) into their curriculum; it is also suitable for musicians interested in learning more about how they can improve their practice of working with other musicians online with both file-based and streaming workflows. The book serves as...

In this article we present the Networked Music Performance Library, which documents research and practice in the field of networked music performance. The library was developed in response to the skyrocketing interest in networked music due to social distancing and travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In this article, we discus...

When musicians cannot travel to another location where other musicians are, they generally assume that this means they cannot perform music together—even while the technology exists to allow them to do so. The perception that Internet technology is not suited for music performance is due to a lack of exposure on navigating the limitations specific...

Performing music together over a public network while being located at a distance from each other necessarily means performing under a particular set of technical and performative constraints. These constraints are antithetical to-and make cumbersome-the performance of tightly synchronised music, which traditionally depends on the conditions of tra...
