CHAMBER GENRES IN THE DIGITAL ERA :THE INFLUENCE OF ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES ON THE CLASSICAL TRADITION OF ENSEMBLE PERFORMANCE

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of electronic technology on the development of chamber music genres and ensemble performance in the digital age.
Research methodology. The most significant academic works in the field of chamber music, chamber ensemble performance and chamber instrumental genres covering the issues of this article were reviewed.
Results. As a result of the research, it can be stated that modern chamber music has undergone significant transformations under the influence of electronic and digital technologies. They have become an important tool for updating this genre, expanding its capabilities and adapting it to the requirements of the modern listener. Traditional chamber music, which has always been distinguished by intimacy and dialogicity, is harmoniously combined with new technical means, allowing the creation of unique sound textures. The integration of electronics and digital instruments not only complements traditional performance practices, but also opens new prospects for interaction between performers and listeners. The experimental nature of modern chamber music is also important, contributing to the formation of new genre forms. Thus, modern chamber music demonstrates the ability to adapt, maintains a connection with traditions, and opens new horizons for creativity.
Novelty. This article first considers electroacoustic compositions as examples of chamber music. It is proven that the use of electronic and digital technologies expands the genre palette of chamber works.
Practical significance. The article opens a new perspective on the genre specificity of modern chamber works written for various instrumental or vocal-instrumental ensembles in combination with electronic sound technologies.
