DAVID CROMBIE, ROGER LENOIR, NEIL MCKENZIEBridging the gap : music and communicationAbstractThe history of the relationship between technology and music has always been somewhat problematic, which is perhaps unsurprising when one considers the tensions inherent in any interface between creativity and technology. This paper argues that most of these problems stem from poor communication, a situation which arises because technologists and composers often seem to use different languages while essentially working towards common goals. But a common language actually does exist as the common elements in the analysis of computer programming and creative thinking are those of structure and form. For a sophisticated audience such as that found at this conference, there is considerable communication between high art and high technology, perhaps even unrivalled in many other areas of creativity and technology. This communication does, however, deteriorate as new ground is broken in either area. Development requires focus, and this intense focus often prevents us from seeing the broader picture.
