Interazione e Gestualità

The term 'interaction' has been introduced in the computer music community for labeling the new approach for making electro-acoustic music in respect to the classic off-line post-production approach to compose. However, in the wider world of contemporary art which makes use of technology, 'interactivity' is commonly used and more popular for what concerns multimedia installations. The meaning is toward the interaction between people from public and the installation itself rather than between the artist/performer and a computer system. So, in order to avoid misunderstandings that often arise, the ' gesturally-controlled real-time interactive computer music' or more simply 'gesture controlled performance' has been introduced. Interactive electro-acoustic music proposes a complete new scenario not even for the new sound palettes introduced but, rather, for the new kind of relationships experienced by the audience between what-is-going-on-on-stage and the final musical result.
