ABSTRACT
A ‘digital musician’ is typically an amalgamation of performer, composer, engineer and informed listener, all to a certain extent. It is highly likely that each individual will have more skills in one of these areas than the others. The ‘sound designer’, the ‘sonic artist’ and the ‘digital musician’ have overlapping skill sets and, for the purposes of this book, are practically the same. As Ronald Herrema points out, what all these people share is ‘an understanding of the manipulation of sound in time, how that relates to gesture and how it relates to drama, or the dramaturgy of the work’.2
