Moldover’s Octamasher as a Modern Participatory Musical Instrument: Technology As Keeper of the Groove, Artist as Designer of the Experience “This article, from 2010, summarizes the implications of Controllerism on modern music, society, and the market, from a musicological and technological standpoint.

Following the relatively short history of recorded and reproduced music and the advent of digital technology, Clements asserts that Controllerism is a logical return to the roots of music-making, where the artist (as ‘Shaman’, thanks Brian Eno) curates the experience of those who participate actively in the process of selecting, performing, and responding to the art.
