La hipertextualidad del espacio musical

Abstract

As a cultural technology music can be considered a specific extension of the human race. Both, verbal (the written word in its bookish expression) and visuals signs (images on diverse technological supports) are changing according to various paradigms: generic-composing, technical-instrumental, and perceptional. All kinds of semiotic discourses including music show changes in their architecture, tending towards hipertextuality. In music traditional melodic archetypes break, creating new possibilities of heterogeneous forms of sounds structured as hypertexts. New models would be characterized by disorder and fragmentation. In cyber media, music looks for the original forms of sound and rises as a reaction to technological changes occurred in our times.
