<div>[E] Biological technologies are computational systems driven by
physiological and corporeal processes of the body. Endogenous
mechanisms that would otherwise be imperceptible become manifest in
the form of data. The field of biotechnological music performance is
presented here through a set of fascinating articles describing
heterogeneous methodologies and idiosyncratic musical ideas. (July

informatiques pilotés par des processus physiologiques et corporels.
Des mécanismes endogènes autrement imperceptibles deviennent
apparents, sous forme de données. Composé d'une série d'articles
fascinants décrivant des méthodologies hétérogènes et des
idées musicales idiosyncrasiques, ce numéro est une introduction
au domaine de la performance musicale biotechnologique. (juillet
