In this book, scholars and artists explore the relation between
electronic music and bodily expression from perspectives including
aesthetics, philosophy of mind, phenomenology, dance and
interactive performance arts, sociology, computer music and sonic
arts, and music theory, transgressing disciplinary boundaries and
established beliefs. The historic decoupling of action and sound
generation might be seen to have distorted or even effaced the
expressive body, with the retention of performance qualities via
recoupling not equally retaining bodily expressivity. When, where,
and what is the body expressed in electronic music then? The
authors of this book reveal composers', performers', improvisers'
and listeners' bodies, as well as the works' and technologies'
figurative bodies as a rich source of expressive articulation.
Bringing together humanities' scholarship and musical arts
contingent upon new media, the contributors offer inspiring thought
and critical reflection for all those seriously engaged with the
aesthetics of electronic music, interactive performance, and the
body's role in aesthetic experience and expression. Performativity
is not only seen as being reclaimed in live electronic music,
interactive arts, and installations; it is also exposed as embodied
in the music and the listeners themselves.
