This paper addresses the emerging concept of cyberization of music through
a particular focus on the changing representation of music. In this context, the
first part presents a historical overview on the representation of music for a
better understanding of today’s digitalization of music. The second part revolves
around the intertwining relationship between technology and society and its
impact on cultural preferences and taste in music. The last part focuses
particularly on the emerging concept of cyberization of music and questions the
ways it transformed the musical representation. The evaluations expose an
ever-changing musical representation in our contemporary era, with a lack of
live interaction where music followers tend to be influenced by the shared view
of the others. Since there is no single and absolute correct way of analyzing
the cyberspace for it has become an overarching term used to describe a
multitude of aspects of the new communication technologies, the evaluations herein
wishes to contribute to the interpretation of music on cyberspace.
