Strumming Bit Strings: Exploring Digital Instrumentality and Liveness in Electroacoustic Music through the Transformation of Guitar Sounds

Michael Lukaszuk

This exposition explores how different technologically mediated presentations of guitar sounds work as materials to form an acousmatic electroacoustic composition. By juxtaposing processed guitar recordings with computer-generated realizations of guitar sounds, this work considers how composition can be used to engage with changing interpretations of instrumentality and liveness that stem from new music technologies. This includes the notion that such concepts can be an integral part of a sound work that uses fixed media.
