Graph Theory: Linking Online Musical Exploration to Concert Hall Performance

Recent technological and aesthetic developments have challenged us to become more engaged and active cultural consumers who help create the content we enjoy: we curate the playlists we listen to, we compete in the online games we play, and we collaboratively filter the media we watch. Within this context, traditional concert performance, particularly of classical and contemporary art music, seems increasingly anachronistic. Audiences sit in a dark hall, often looking at a conductor whose back is turned toward them, afraid to cough or sneeze lest they disturb their neighbors. Graph Theory aims to bridge this experiential gap. Through its availability on the Internet, it seeks to creatively engage audiences outside of the concert hall; the project then incorporates their activities into the context of a live concert performance. Web site visitors, who need not have specialized musical training, use a visual interface to navigate among short, looping musical fragments to create their own unique path through the open-form composition for solo violin. Before each concert performance, the violinist visits the web site to print out a new copy of the score, which linearly orders the fragments based on the decisions made by site visitors.
