Media, virtuality, and participation in musical creativity of the Young Cracow Composers

Abstract

Disciplinary background A. The starting point for the subject of Media, Virtuality, and Participation in Musical Creativity of the Young Cracow Composers will be the widely understood study of the art of composition and musical reflection: musicology / composition / music theory including many humanist-oriented interdisciplinary organic contexts. Disciplinary background B. The selected compositions will be presented in the broad context of contemporary generative art and performative strategies such as visualisation, theatricalization and semantisation, or performative categories such as vocality (tonality), corporeality and spatiality. The paper will therefore also fit into the realm of performance studies. Abstract The main aim of the paper will be to present selected works of young composers (in collaboration with performers, dancers or choreographers), among whom the neo-avant-garde aesthetics, post-internet art, new conceptualism or the idea of conscious music or relational music are currently in vogue, and most often, again, multimedia performance (after its peak in the 1960s and 1970s) as a frequent and laden medium of expression.
