Abstract

This paper delves into the ways in which the sideman/woman role can be reinvigorated to stay relevant in the current digital world. It examines different ways of using technological tools to expand and improve on the traditional roles of thesideman: practicing, transcription, self-recording, exercise design, memorization, creativity, recording in studios and in digital audio workstations, and sound design. It also considers the extramusical duties of the modern sideman, by discussing multimedia creation and soft skills.
