In today's context, music is increasingly intertwined with the society of information, communication, and technology, where the digital revolution has profoundly transformed the processes of musical creation, distribution, and consumption. This transformation has redefined not only the role of composers and performers but also the modalities of interaction between artists and audiences.
Technological advancements have introduced new tools for music composition and production, significantly expanding expressive possibilities. Music notation software has radically altered practices of writing, reading, and arranging music, contributing to the emergence of hybrid compositional languages. At the same time, Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) now represent the operational core of musical production, offering integrated environments for recording, editing, and post-production, and overcoming the limitations of traditional analog systems.
Musical performance has likewise evolved into a domain of technical and creative experimentation. Interaction with electronic devices, control software, and real-time processing systems expands performance practices. The integration of spatial dimensions and interactive models allows for a redefinition of performative acts within a technologically mediated musical perspective.
