This paper explores various technologies available to the modern composer and utilized
in recent modern opera, providing creative approaches to producing aural, visual, and
theatrical performance environments. It also explores my own use of digital technology in
Transient Delete. Transient Delete is a digital miniature-opera that explores different aspects of
a community of post-human cyborgs. The story follows Imera, a newly converted cyborg as she
acclimates herself to this new cybernetic existence. During this process she meets several other
cybernetic entities that are there to help guide her through her metamorphosis.
