Meccanica Azione Sonora: Composing Networked Music

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents Meccanica Azione Sonora, an electro-acoustic trio formed by Federico Costanza, Marco Gasperini, Alessio Rossato and their former research into the development of new musical syntaxes, prompted by the use of technologies (digital signal processing, live-electronics, network audio communication, non-standard sound diffusion systems, etc.). We will present a compositional strategy named here functional music. The use of this term must be considered in opposition to its current use indicating a music that is used with a specific (mainly practical) purpose. To begin with, we shall give a definition of functional music and then exemplify it through the description of several of our compositions in which this compositional attitude has been developed.
