Hypermusic (de Assis)

Hypermusic, as developed by Paulo de Assis, is an expanded concept of music that incorporates a multimodal array of elements beyond mere auditory experiences. Drawing from Timothy Morton's concept of hyperobjects - entities vastly distributed in time and space - it includes not just sound but also texts, images, ideas, and cultural references, forming a complex web that mirrors the interconnected and relational nature of the contemporary musical world.
