Abstract
ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of ‘wearing-in-performance’, the phenomenon of using digital, wearable technologies in musical performance. The research uses ethnographic methods, analysing interviews and statements made by musicians in the rehearsal and performance of Mensura (2022), a work of experimental concert music composed by the author, in order to scrutinise the phenomenological role of such technologies. The paper identifies three phenomena experienced by these musicians, namely connectedness; the meditative reconfiguring of space; and an augmenting of the body. It goes on to conclude that the experience of performing with wearable, haptic technologies is a dynamic gathering of entangled and networked phenomena.
