Hi Ruth, Thanks for your kind words, it's interesting to watch something gather pace like this.
We have generally played to quite small collocated audiences, I think the most a couple of weeks ago here in Sydney of 30 or so. The New York performance last month there were almost as many people either listening to the strream or lurking or visible in VisitorsStudio as there were in the space. This was partly due to a last minute change of venue but it is intriguing to see. how significant the networked audience has become to a group like us.. ZKM's radio station is interesting too, I think like me, more and more people are turning to the diversity of what's available to listen to online. I have heard a lot of really quality work on DEGEM in between our broadcasts. There is definitely something in what you say about the audience changing the music through their hearing it and sometimes sharing it with others. it has faint echoes of Barthes, hearing hearing is a physiological phenomenon and listening a psychological act. I think networked audiences fall into this second category as they imagine the virtual and physical spaces converging in sound.
