LOCALITY
Further to the post below... in response to comments from Chris.
I`m not saying that the concept of local is in question... just the virtual idea of community is expanding that. I agree in the sense that cyberspace is cold and isolationist... but in a sense our interaction in this format is generating a small sense of community on this basic level. Otherwise the process of actual articulation of performance is still very much implicated in states of local production and consumption (especially in the formative stages). Further to this I make mention of the physical barriers faced by artists based in Australia.
Outside of that of course, when it comes to niche musics such as more experimental types of electronic music... possibly due to the partiality to all things computer... the Internet would serve an more immediate presence in reaching and establishing a community in a global sense, that for involved participants would for intensive purposes feel like a local environment(?).
Otherwise I forgot to mention Brisbane electronic stalwarts...
