Music as an invitation: liveness in digital piano performances through participating audiences (HORIZON)
This project has explored creative processes in online collaboration with groups of women and teenage girls for the development of online piano performances. The objective of this study is to investigate, in a qualitative approach, the impact of participatory proposals on the sense of liveness when experiencing music in a remote and digital context. Here, liveness is understood as 鈥榯he feeling of being connected to other people鈥.

About the research project
Since the pandemic, the practice of online concerts has increased significantly. Whilst such practice offers many possibilities - such as the reach of remote audiences and the use of multimedia tools combined in the music performance 鈥 it also presents challenges to the relationship between performer and audience due to the lack of physical co-presence.
By inviting audiences to take active part in the creative process of a music performance, this project inquires about how the affective aspect created through the collaborative process may enhance the feeling of 鈥渂eing connected鈥 whilst watching a music performance through the internet.
The first year of research included the development of a pre-recorded online concert with a group of 14 women from 7 countries. The participants attended a series of online workshops where, through conversations facilitated by the research-leader and following a Participatory Action Research methodology, the group decided which creative strategies they were to carry out.
