Abstract
One characteristic of new information and communications technologies is that they make possible new technical uses at an instrumental level and new technological practices that affect intersubjective relationships, behaviours and models... Computer culture, or cyberculture, is no exception. With original device that has given rise to it, now widespread and improved, we have socially generated conditions for a radical change in even most stable practices, concepts and cultural foundations. Most authors that have looked at cultural sensorium have tended to look at speed and acceleration of images and text, ignoring role of sound and silence, in other words, of music, electronically generated. However, in digital era in which computers govern our daily lives, it would be an unpardonable sin not to consider electronic, digitalised music as most appropriate soundtrack for this new context. For these reasons, in this paper we will look at some of cultural changes that characterise cyberculture and attempt to establish connections between image revolution and revolution in electronically generated music. The ultimate objective of our incursion into this field is to examine how technoperception of electronic sound affects senses in the era of intelligent machine.
