This research proposal establishes an explorative study into the interplay between computers, notation methods, and their collective impact on the creation and interpretation of instrumental and live electronic music. At the heart of this investigation lies a dual objective: first, to delineate the unique affordances of digital media in musical practices—affordances unattainable in purely acoustic settings; and second, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of notational strategies by observing the influence of computational tools and notational techniques across the spectrum of artistic production. This exploration mainly focuses on the conception and interpretation phases of music production. It aims to discern whether the notational framework provides ample and significant information for predicting musical outcomes and the complexity of integrating digital mediums. During the interpretation phase, it also examines the extent to which the score provides sufficient information for the performance of all its parts, independent of specific hardware or software requirements.
