Abstract
The research analyzes the main electronic and digital ensembles for electric guitar in the last decades. Through this, the sense of augmentation of the instru- ment is deepened, with special emphasis on its integration with the computer. A first section of the research is the interpretation of a series of case studies using Ableton Live software with MAX/MSP, together with a MIDI controller that homogenizes and allows performing the case studies selected for the the- sis: Electric Counterpoint (Steve Reich 1987), La cite des saules (Dufourt 1997), Trash TV Trance (Romitelli 2002) and Not I (Prins 2007). A second section is the development of an augmentation proposal for e-guitar that consists of a separation in the hands-feet interface to be able to control effects, volumetric balances and samples and loops. Finally, a reflection is articulated around the augmentation in the electric guitar and its relationship with the concepts of post digital, Smart instruments, modular flexibility and obsolescence.
