Sound Studies Lectures | Mo 18. Januar 2010 | G. Douglas Barrett

Listening to Language: Text Scores, Recording Technology and Experimental Music

In much of the experimental music being created today notation has turned to a use of written language in which the score can be said to contain not simply a description of sounds to be performed, but rather, a prompt to action, an invitation or proposal for the performance or observation of sounds, the execution of actions, the realization of situations, thoughts, or the condition of non-action.
Contextualized by the music and writings of American composer John Cage, and in light of technological shifts introduced by the ability to record sound, I look at several contemporary works of experimental music which use language as their primary means of notation.
