Telematic Music Performance at Monash University

A technique, described as 'telematic music', removed time and space barriers this April connecting six musicians through the use of a standard high-speed broadband connection. The result was one of the world's most distant telematic musical performances to date.

Monash University's Monash Undergraduate Research Projects Abroad (MURPA) internship program and the Monash e-Research Centre enabled Faculty of Information Technology honours student, Mr Edgar Kautzner, to deliver a live violin performance in Melbourne as part of an ensemble of six musicians, divided geographically by an astounding 15,000 kilometres.
