TwoSet Violin: collective musical experiences deriving from affinity and connectivity

Through their YouTube channel, the Australian duo TwoSet Violin are a benchmark in the dissemination of musical practice. Their many fans include professional musicians, amateurs, and the general public. This study aims to know audience connection with these violinists, as well as affinity among their followers. A qualitative methodology is therefore established, based on deep non-participatory netnography, drawing on selection of the most appropriate comments on videos in which followers send compositions to be interpreted by these Youtubers. Results show a clear link between all who interact, recognizing the value of compositions by others and offering support and advice, despite diversity in training and musical interests. We provide a discussion and conclusion on the interaction model and generation of collective experiences arising from the connectivity environment involved in the Fan Compositions playlist, in relation to other studies based on similar environments.
