Notto Thelle and I are giving the presentation Digitally based music: Archiving, migration and performance at the Norwegian Musical Heritage Conference 2016.
We will discuss the robustness of media and storage formats, and issues of preservation and migration of works onto a sustainable technological base, all in the performance perspective of what is needed to maintain the heritage of technology-based music in this period of rapid change. The presentation falls in three parts: 1) Archiving (Representation, media issues), 2) Instruments, hardware and software (migration), 3) Performance (practices, role merging).
The webpage for the conference is here, and the program is located here.
