Talk:Interactive music

Merge proposal

This should probably be merged, in part or in whole, to dynamic music. The non-video game uses of the term might merit their own article, but as far a video game term goes, dynamic music is better than interactive music. Dynamic suggests that it changes according to certain events, while interactive suggests that an action must be specifically taken by the player or a person. This removes the possibility that something other than a player action - say, an enemy attack - could change the music. Dynamic is more a more all-encompassing term.

I agree, sort of. I think the video game-related content of this article should be merged into dynamic music, and I think the rest of the article should just be deleted. It's such a nebulous concept with no real meaning, that I don't think Wikipedia's the right place for it. As a quote in the article says, all music is somewhat interactive, and this interactivity isn't really a meaningful enough thing to have an article. The articles on musical improvisation, free jazz, and conductor (music) cover these ideas in a more intelligible way. Conical Johnson (talk) 00:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Since this has been proposed, supported, and not opposed in 5 months I am going ahead with the merge. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:49, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
