Re: [microsound] sound art / music

[Daniel Neumann <neumann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Peter,

your respond leads towards what I think is the definition of the difference. 
Music is made for performance, with a time flow from A to B to X. Sound Art 
is to be percived as a spacial experience. My ear roaming through the 
arrangement of sound like my eye would on a canvas. Alan Licht puts Sound 
Art as: "An installed sound environment that is defined by the space (and/or 
acoustic space) rather than time and can be exhibited as a visual artwork 
would be." (in his book "Sound Art - beyond music, between categories", p. 
16).

I've been thinking about this a lot lately...and for me I think it
has something to do with a different approach to time. Much sound art
avoids the temporal shaping of its material that one would see in a
more "musical" context.
