Why Live? -- Performance in the Age of Digital Reproduction

Downloads and file exchanges have altered the economics of music of 
consumption, but have they also rendered the concert hall obsolete? Or 
have the isolation of ear buds and the ephemerality of digital files 
actually served to highlight the social significance and sweaty 
substantiality of live performance? Or are we witnessing the birth of a 
new “live” virtually social but vitally sweat-free?

For LMJ 18 we solicit writing on the significance or irrelevance of 
contemporary performance practice and its alternatives.
