Abstract

At first sight electronic music does not seem to be linked to certain places or bodies. Do the possibilities of digital sound processing, its instruments, its producing, distributing and receptive structures not only make any sound everywhere available but - at the same time - cut loose all its local ties? What we listen to cannot be localised because the specifics of local patterns are hardly represented, neither in the image of the sound nor in visual or haptic signs.
Is electronic music the true sound track of the widely discussed globalisation scenario? "Home - electronics" will track down the importance of local codes in electronic music.
