| Long abstract | In this chapter, we provide a summary of the Xenakis Networked Performance Marathon project, a computer music and dance performance marathon comprising sixteen pieces with worldwide live participation over the internet, dedicated to the memory of Iannis Xenakis. The project’s aim was to explore collaborative performance practices using the internet, through the use of alternative protocols and technologies such as UDP-based OpenSoundControl and experimental, low-cost wearable sensors systems for motion capture. We describe the hardware and software used in the project, as well as the original development work required to incorporate these tools in our work setup. We compare various hardware systems employed, focusing on the Zigbee-based Sense Stage system versus a Bluetooth-based PineTime smartwatch-based system. Finally, we outline the pieces performed in this project, giving summaries of their inspiration and objectives. The performances span a wide spectrum of approaches and techniques. They demonstrate the potential of current technology for networked collaborative performance and show its impact on the aesthetic of experimental musical and dance art forms. |

Martin Carlé
(author)Martin Carlé lives as a musicologist, media theorist and Emacs org-mode enthusiast. His cultural objective is to leverage Literate Programming techniques as a performative methodology for experimental media arts, reproducible research and a sustainable computer literacy. While running a music recording studio and an audio consultant company, he studied systematic musicology, popular music and media history at the Humboldt-University Berlin (HUB). There he received his doctoral degree with a thesis on the epistemology of ancient Greek music theory and the respective musical notation systems. Within the frame of the German Research Society (DFG), he worked at the Helmholtz Institute for Culture Techniques and taught as assistant professor at the department of Media Studies (HUB). Ongoing international collaborations include the French ANR project “PROGRAMme.” He is currently working as a Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Hub of Arts Laboratories at the Audio & Visual Arts Department of Ionian University, Corfu Greece.

He is experienced in live coding for audiovisual performances as well as in the development of microcomputer sensor systems for artistic and academic purposes. He teaches Computer Sound Design, and he is Post-Doctoral Researcher in HAL (Hub of Art Laboratories) at the Department of Audiovisual Arts of the Ionian University, Greece. He has published papers, music and participated with his works in various conferences and festivals in Europe and Japan.
Takumi Ikeda
(author)Takumi Ikeda is a self-taught computer musician and composer. He appears in live performances and composes contemporary music with his programs. Many performers have featured his works. Recently he has been working on baritone and computer, trombone with nine-axis sensor, piano and soundtrack, choral pieces, pieces with video scores, and scores for improvisers. In 2016, Ikeda created the soundtrack for Kei Shichiri's film Music as Film, followed by a screening with live music with performers. His CDs were released in 2020 (de dicto 00) and 2022 (ftarricl-663).
