Deusonica Podcast (link)
Performance paradigms are changing. As society becomes increasingly connected by technology the traditional concert format evolves into forms that are less dependent on scheduling and public gathering. Podcasts allow listers and viewers to create the physical context for each concert, thus enabling them to directly participate in the creation of the "concert experience."

The Deusonica Podcast explores the idea of the internet as a performance hall, both virtual and portable. Works are created by musician/composer Drew Schnurr in collaboration with other artists. Podcast concerts include sonic improvisations, contemporary music, experimental sound design, new digital media, and visual arts.
