englischThe music-making devices in this series can be very varied; even video games like “Guitar Hero” or “Rocksmith” are part of aural culture and contribute their own strategies and instruments. Playing can have two meanings here: first, the best possible fit between action and the programmed goal of the game, and second, the rules of musical playing, which are not programmed but form part of a cultural praxis; the aim of this play is an aesthetic process, not the achievement of a pre-defined score. Jan Torge Claussen offers a detailed expansion of this viewpoint. Focusing on “Guitar Games” the author discusses issues around the making and learning of music in the context of the latest technological potential of digital culture.
