Summary/Abstract: The early 21st century has proven to be an exciting time for live electronic musical performance. One of the new trends being explored are multi-media performances integrating musical, visual and other performance elements within one conceptually organized system. As computers increase in power while decreasing in size, new approaches to physical interfaces can be explored, including more intuitive performance instruments. Technological change is only one side of an equation that is equally driven by new musical ideas. As in the past, music is only as good as its aesthetic ideas. The relationship between music making and technology is, for some, a controversial topic. On the other hand, accessibility and innovation create a folk-like culture, where designers, composers and performers share new discoveries and together craft new evolving traditions. The results may be a cultural change in the means by which music is conceptualized, performed and enjoyed by listeners.
