Following the success of the 2010 edition, Electronic Generations continues its inquiry on the development of electronic music and on the way this repertoire has challenged and still continues to insistently challenge musicological research.
Due to new electronic means, the composer's private study has been substituted by recording and production studios, or even garages. The solitude of the writing table of the demiurgeous composer runs counter to the joint creation of the group, the équipe or the band. In this context, musical textuality, one of the foundations of analytical musicology, has yielded to a new form of processal creative orality, registered in the continuum of human and/or technological memories.
In so-called "mixed" electronic music, the cultural universes of literacy and orality, that remind the musicological antinomy of "text vs act", coexist and interact, creating a an extremely complex system in which the artistic outcome cannot be confined into a single paradigm nor considered as simply the sum of multiple ones. The artistic result must be viewed as an emergence of the system, a form of magical and mysterious epiphany that arises from the ever-changing relationship between man, the artistic idea and technology.
The third edition of Electronic Generations aims at exchanging views on the fine line between the different "dimensions" of mixed music. It will face the "open frontier" whose border posts are enveiled, both in the "classical" genre and its "popular" counterpart, in the reciprocal influences between electronic production and the traditional musical composition and their joint participation in the act of composition and performance.
