Offering a practitioner\u2019s perspective, the book places interactive sound and music within a broader aesthetic context relating to key texts and discussion within musicology and wider art practices. Each chapter takes the reader through a key debate surrounding interactive sound and music, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is it actually interactive and does it actually matter?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do audience expectations change in an interactive space?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do you compose for multiple possibilities?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is interactive sound and music ever finished?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where now for interactive sound and music?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucy Ann Harrison is a composer, sound designer and academic based at the University of Westminster, UK where she currently serves as Assistant Head of School for the Westminster School of the Arts.
