The theme of this Research Companion is 'connectivity and the
global reach of electroacoustic music and sonic arts made with
technology'. The possible scope of such a companion in the field of
electronic music has changed radically over the last 30 years. The
definitions of the field itself are now broader - there is no clear
boundary between 'electronic music' and 'sound art'. Also, what was
previously an apparently simple divide between 'art' and 'popular'
practices is now not easy or helpful to make, and there is a rich
cluster of streams of practice with many histories, including world
music traditions. This leads in turn to a steady undermining of a
primarily Euro-American enterprise in the second half of the
twentieth century. Telecommunications technology, most importantly
the development of the internet in the final years of the century,
has made materials, practices and experiences ubiquitous and
apparently universally available - though some contributions to
this volume reassert the influence and importance of local cultural
practice. Research in this field is now increasingly
multi-disciplinary. Technological developments are embedded in
practices which may be musical, social, individual and collective.
The contributors to this companion embrace technological,
scientific, aesthetic, historical and social approaches and a host
of hybrids - but, most importantly, they try to show how these join
up. Thus the intention has been to allow a wide variety of new
practices to have voice - unified through ideas of 'reaching out'
and 'connecting together' - and in effect showing that there is
emerging a different kind of 'global music'.
