Vortrag mit Katrin Losleben in der Ringvorlesung "Sound in Artistic Research" an der Universität der Künste in Berlin am 22. Januar 2024
‘Becoming-with’ in the Sonic.
Music and bodies ‘become’ through the co-creational processes of sound and different human and non-human bodies within social contexts. To understand better the relation of musicians, traditionally understood as those who produce sounds, and the sounds themselves, we conducted micro-phenomenological in-depth interviews with six cellists. This novel method allowed us to zoom-in to the moment of creation of sound. Extending recent understanding of music as “ontological politics”, and drawing on Karen Barad’s accounts of intra-action, we theorize how sounds, materials and bodies ‘become-with’ each other, and iteratively co-constitute the musician-persona, the sound and the instruments.
