Interneternity is a dynamic musical composition built into the World Wide Web. The Internet changed the way that we listen to music, but music itself remains essentially unchanged. Can we create music that uses the Internet for more than a distribution medium? Can we make music that could not exist without the Internet?
Interneternity is an experimental integration of music composition and the World Wide Web. Instead of releasing this music as a static file, it was released in the form of a website. When the site launched, users could play the composition continuously from beginning to end. But each new connection to the web server changes the musical structure in some small way…and eventually the original composition is unrecognizable.
Certain interactions with the site may extend its lifetime, while certain interactions nudge the music towards inevitable disintegration. Will you get to hear the piece before it is broken forever?
