Abstract

Nightclubs are powerhouses in western culture for social listening and dancing to music. Here, mostly digital, pre-composed tunes are selected, mixed and played by a person called Disc Jockey. In another digital arena, the internet, a revolution is changing how people connect to each other and making every one a potential vocal agent of an invisible network that is slowly extending beyond their homes. This change is helping improve accessibility, learning, democracy and science, but music—protected by culture of broadcast not participation—remains untouched. This paper explains a project called Interactive Music 3.0 that is revisiting the role of the DJ and experimenting with a multi-disciplinary approach to foster participative musical expression inside nightclubs.
