ABSTRACT
Networked musical performance, telematic concerts and laptop orchestras are a common sense about how music can be done over computer networks. This type of musical performances using computer networks are valuable and interesting but still strongly attached with western classical music tradition. This article presents another perspective of interaction and collaboration in computer music using networks: the ubimus perspective. Three installations are presented, examined and discussed in order to illustrate how it is possible to reconsider network music installations using relevant emerging notions from ubiquitous music such as metaphors, audience participation and sustainability.

Notes
1 Kurzwellen (Short Waves), from Karlheinz Stockhausen, for six players with shortwave receivers and live electronics (1968) and John Cage's Imaginary Landscape No 4 (1951) (Kostelanetz, Citation1986) are examples of compositions using radio receivers as musical instruments.

7 SCTP and DCCP are also transport protocols in the TCP/IP stack. For a comparison of these protocols in music context, see Schiavoni, Queiroz, and Wanderley (Citation2013).

11 Three filters were used: high-pass, low-pass and a voltage control filter.
12 Four types of convolutions based on FFT processing were used: phase, amplitude, cross and complex convolutions.
