The Computer Music Seminar this year investigated remote location ensemble performance with computer-based media. These pieces are unedited recordings of live performances of pieces by all members of the class that culminated the semester. The pandemic has made the normal social roles and rituals of live music performance more difficult. Musicians however have perservered, playing together on the internet and making music that could never have existed in another way. Instrumentation includes both live computer music software (SuperCollider and MaxMSP) and electronic hardware instruments (Symbolic Sound Kyma), along with homemade sound installations, and voice. The performance “space” was provided by SonoBus (a free and easy to use application for streaming high-quality, low-latency peer-to-peer audio between devices over the internet or a local network http:sonobus.net ) and Zoom (video). Thanks to all the inventors who have made playing music together possible despite difficult circumstances!
