Re: [microsound] microsonic materialism
There is certainly an interesting dichotomy between "material" and "abstract"
in eletronic music in particular but it exists in music in general. this has
to do with the relationship between the musical instrument and the music
itself.The electronic instrument does not depend on the musician's
outstanding physical ability, and has unlimited timbral variety. Therefor it
enables an extremely abstract view on sound and texture. Sounds that were
conceived in this way project, among other things, material qualities. The
reason for that is, that in the plane in which they were conceived, sound and
matter are one.
