Controllerism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Controllerism is the art and practice of using musical software controllers (e.g.
MIDI,
OSC,
Joystick, etc) to build upon, mix, scratch, remix, effect, modify, or otherwise create music, usually by a
Digital DJ or "Controllerist". Controllerism developed at the peak of USB midi controller market during the turn of the century. Often on the side of Virtuoso performance art, Controllerism is also a nod to traditional musicianship and instrumental-ism paired with modern computer sequencing software such as
Ableton Live [1] and
Native Instruments Traktor [2]. However a working knowledge of Scale and Chords is not necessarily required as the performers typically focus their efforts more on sequencing events, software effect and instrument manipulations using buttons, knobs, faders, keys, foot switches and pedals than on instrumental notes played in real time. The term was coined by
Moldover [3] [4] in 2007 and popularized by
Ean Golden[5] to describe the process while paying homage to and giving respect to the art of
turntablism.
