This research monograph explores the rapidly expanding field of
networked music making and the ways in which musicians of different
cultures improvise together online. It draws on extensive research to
uncover the creative and cognitive approaches that geographically
dispersed musicians develop to interact in displaced tele-improvisatory
collaboration. It presents a multimodal analysis of three
tele-improvisatory performances that examine how cross-cultural
musician's express and perceive intentionality in these interactions, as
well as their experiences of distributed agency and tele-presence.
Tele-Improvisation: Intercultural Interaction in the Online Global
Music Jam Session will provide essential reading for musician's,
postgraduate students, researchers and educators, working in the areas
of telematic performance, musicology, music cognition, intercultural
communication, distance collaboration and learning, digital humanities,
Computer Supported Cooperative Work and HCI.
