디지털 복제시대의 예술음악 듣기 -21세기의 예술음악 청취문화 연구-

This study explores the listening culture of art music led by the digital technology in the 21st century. Digital technology changes the paradigm of listening and shows the new ontology in art music. Music had been mainly preserved in a physical medium to overcome its intangibility in the 20th century. Furthermore, digital technology on the basis of intangibility has made music overcome not only the restriction of time and space, but also the physical restriction. The listening culture of art music based on this change of media environment in the 21st century could be discussed in three aspects. First, the concept of traditional ‘musical works’ focused on the composer and score in art music has changed into a more open meaning. The listener understands art music focusing on subtle differences between multifarious performances. Secondly, audio-visual medium mediated by digital video clips provides unique perceptual experience and reconstructs the experience of time and space in a concert hall. The listener experiences expanded musical events in more active ways through hyperreality mediated by a screen. Thirdly, the virtual concert hall such as Digital concert hall and Second Life exhibits interactivity in art music with rapid development of listening environment. In short, Interactivity in the virtual concert hall is meaningful in that it presents everyday listening practices intensively on the digital virtual space. These three characteristics have been expanding the border of art music. They have also blurred the boundary of ‘the musical work and the audience,’ ‘listening and seeing,’ and of ‘a stage and an audience.’ Active communication between listeners has changed music from the object of contemplation to performative behaviors.
