Exploring the Ecologies of Music and Sound
Makis Solomos explores the ecologies of music and sound, inspired by Felix Guattari, for whom environmental destruction caused by capitalism goes hand in hand with deteriorating ways of living and feeling, and for whom an ecosophical stance, combining various ecological registers, offers a glimpse of emancipation, a position strengthened today by intersectional approaches. Solomos explores environmental, mental and social ecologies through the lens of the history of music and current artivisms – especially in the fields of acoustic ecology, contemporary music and sound art. Several theoretical and analytical debates are put forward, including a theory of sound milieus and the biopolitics of sound; the relationships between music and the living world; soundscape compositions, field recording, ecomusicology, and the creation of sound biotopes; the use of sound and music to violent ends as well as considering the social and political functions of music and the autonomy of art, sonic ecofeminism, degrowth in music, and much more.
Counterpoints
Multimedia experiments are everywhere in contemporary art, but the collaboration and conflict associated with multimedia is not a new phenomenon. From opera to the symphonic poem to paintings inspired by music, many attempts have been made to pair sounds with pictures and to combine the arts of time and space. Counterpoints explores this artistic evolution from ancient times to the present day. The book’s main focus is music and its relationship with painting, sculpture, and architecture. Philippe Junod draws on theoretical and practical examples to show how different art movements throughout history have embraced or rejected creative combinations. He explains how the Renaissance, neoclassicism, and certain brands of modernism tried to claim the purity of each mode of expression, while other movements such as romanticism, symbolism, and surrealism called for a fusion of the arts. Counterpoints is a unique cultural history, one that provides a critical understanding of a popular but previously unheralded art form.
Meta-Xenakis
Meta-Xenakis offers readers a comprehensive collection of insights into the history, works and legacy of Iannis Xenakis, one of the twentieth century’s most significant creative figures. It presents a transcontinental engagement with his life and output, focusing as much on the impact of the questions he posed as on the accomplishments of his body of work. This volume evolved out of the multi-modal, international Meta-Xenakis Consortium’s artistic and scholarly events commemorating his centenary. Informative and comprehensive, contributions span subjects including music composition, creative pedagogy, aesthetics, game theory, architecture, and the social and political contexts in which X...
From Music to Sound
From Music to Sound is an examination of the six musical histories whose convergence produces the emergence of sound, offering a plural, original history of new music and showing how music had begun a change of paradigm, moving from a culture centred on the note to a culture of sound. Each chapter follows a chronological progression and is illustrated with numerous musical examples. The chapters are composed of six parallel histories: timbre, which became a central category for musical composition; noise and the exploration of its musical potential; listening, the awareness of which opens to the generality of sound; deeper and deeper immersion in sound; the substitution of composing the soun...
Espaces de l'oeuvre, espaces de l'exposition
« Les mots ne sont pas innocents ; selon le contexte, ils peuvent jouer des rôles bien différents. Espace et Lieu, par exemple, peuvent parfois se comprendre comme des synonymes, même si l'un n'est que l'alter ego de l'autre, et vice versa. » Leur rapport avec les concepts d'œuvre et d'exposition s'est modifié au fur et à mesure des changements statutaires respectifs. Cet ouvrage vise ainsi à interroger le statut de l'espace d'exposition face aux propositions artistiques contemporaines. Il se développe autour des notions principales d'architecture muséale, d'œuvre et d'exposition, à partir des années 1960 et jusqu'à nos jours. Les études de cas (MAXXI, MAMCO, Fondation Trussa...
Edgard Varèse
Acteur essentiel de la philosophie du bruit et de la révolution électrique, Varèse a contribué au renouvellement des productions et des esthétiques du XXème siècle. Son oeuvre a constitué - et constitue encore - un véritable programme d'action pour des générations de compositeurs. Sont examinés en particulier dans ce volume les liens qu'ont tissés avec elle, Jolivet, Xenakis, Ligeti, Nono, Mamzoni, Risset, etc ... L'ensemble des contributions de ce volume embrasse une large part des thématiques initiées et développées par Varèse.
Música de la arquitectura
El presente volumen reúne por primera vez los escritos que Xenakis, una de las figuras más destacadas de la cultura europea de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, consagró a la arquitectura y a las relaciones entre esta disciplina y la música. El examen de sus archivos personales ha desvelado, entre otras cosas, la riqueza de este material -artículos, cartas, conferencias, escritos teóricos, reflexiones programáicas-, que completa los propios bocetos y proyectos arquitectónicos. Los originales de Xenakis (presentados y comentados por Sharon Kanach) se articulan en cuatro apartados: Los años Le Corbusier, La ciudad cósmica y otros escritos, Xenakis, arquitecto independiente y Los Politopos. La documentación se completa con un índice crítico ilustrado del conjunto de proyectos y obra realizada (Sven Sterken), una amplia bibliografía (Makis Solomos) y un cuadro cronológico.
