The article deals with the relationship between Transhumanism and multimedia music.
Multimedia music with breaking all stereotypes foresees the main idea of
Transhumanism—transition to a new evolutionary phase. The importance of research
is determined by filling the gap that exists in multimedia music research. The purpose of
the study is to determine the parameters by which multimedia music corresponds to
Transhumanism. The goal is related to solving the following tasks: on what processes the
technological progress is based; what constitutes a renewed consciousness; what are the
features of multimedia music; to determine the features of a new type of composer’s
thinking; In the article, there are used historical, divinatory, comparative, and critical
scientific research methods. Since multimedia composition is studied for the first time
in relation to Transhumanism, the method of divination research is used, which implies
intuitive access to the central principle embedded in the work. The object of the article—
multimedia music will be discussed in the example of Eka Chabashvili’s multimedia
project “Voice”. Based on the set goals and objectives, the process of analysis will be
conducted in two phases: to analyze technological progress and novelties, as well as the
transformation of consciousness that will lead us to the next stage of evolution; and to
analyze how multimedia corresponds to these processes. It is the research on these issues
that constitutes the scientific novelty of the article. In the conclusions, it is emphasized
that we are in an era of scientific-technological progress that leads to Transhumanism.
The evolution of humanity is not only related to technological changes but also to the
transformation of consciousness. Multimedia music is ideally suited to reflect these
changes for the following reasons: Transhumanism is based on the idea of human
evolution. Multimedia music with new compositional approaches also transforms
consciousness and prepares us for a new stage of humankind’s evolution in its turn; there
occurs an unprecedented integration of scientific branches, and multimedia music is also
a synthetic genre. Multimedia music also destroys stereotypes of compositional thinking.
The recommendation is to integrate multimedia music samples into musical education
and concert programs.
