How Musicians and Digitisation Fuse by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA for Continuum

Digitisation does not replace the musician. It changes the size of the body.

A performer used to end at skin, instrument and room. Now the body can include sensors, software, sampled memory, a second voice that is not a throat, a stage that is a screen, and a partner that does not breathe. The interesting work happens when those extra organs start thinking with the human rather than sitting beside them as gadgets.
Performance: the instrument becomes a nervous system

Live performance is where fusion is hardest to fake, because time cannot be hidden.

A violinist still bows. A singer still breathes. But the bow can also trigger grain clouds. The breath can open a filter. A wrist tilt can detune a choir of copies of the same voice. Gloves, rings, floor pads and cameras turn gesture into score. The performer is no longer only playing notes. They are conducting a second body that answers in milliseconds.
