press kit web

TACET is a new research publication dedicated to experimental music.
Published annually and bilingually (French and English), its ambition is to create an interdisciplinary and international space of reflection for this music, in all its aesthetic diversity : from noise to improvisation, via electroacoustic, electronic, minimalist music,
silent, indeterminate, conceptual, sound poetry, free jazz, field recordings, sound art, etc. We should specify that the experimentation does not belong to a specific genre of music, but depends on the artistic approach that leads the practice.

TACET, as John Cage showed so well in 4’33’’, designates a moment of silence observed by an instrumentalist during the whole period of a movement. By extension, it becomes, as the title of this publication, a moment of introspection, of reflectivity and reflection, where music interrupts itself to give way to research and theoretical questioning.

TACET aims, in this way, on the side of experimental music, to contribute to the renewal of theoretical research by confronting and intersecting musicians’ speeches, studies coming from aesthetics and philosophy of art, from the critical renewal of musicology, from cultural studies and gender studies, from political thought, from social sciences and geography. In short, like the publication Source, edited by Larry Austin, at the end of the 1960s, it is there to form a space of scientific and heuristic experimentation on the different creative processes that nourish this music and its reception, and also, on larger sociocultural problems that affect it intimately. The publication does not have as its object to decrypt the supposed hidden meaning in works –such a hidden meaning does not exist, as Cornelius Cardew reminds us in a Wittgensteinian fashion–, but to interrogate modalities, the forms and how they relate to creativity in this music, its evolution, its transformation, and the relationships it maintains with the societies of which it is a part.

The publication will be developed according to four principal types of discursive movement: 1) Flux, bringing together an ensemble of in depth studies and articles responding to the principal question of each issue; 2) Influx, putting in tension the first flux by an ensemble of free reflection papers and of shorter format; 3) Afflux, inserts and points of discourse constituted by images, citations, archives and other documents, deploying themselves throughout the pages by association and resonating with the different texts; 4) Reflux, book critical reviews and work reports of recordings, performances and events relating to experimental music.For the details regarding each column, see our file instructions for authors.

A medio camino entre el antes y el después

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

(…) El primero era un señor que había sido entrevistado por Gould en la radio, sobre no sé que tema, quizá algo geográfico, la belleza del Gran Norte, algo por el estilo. Da igual. Vuelven a entrevistar a ese señor y se pone a contar que aquel día en la radio Gould le había dejado hablar, sin casi interrumpirle, durante todo el tiempo, y que mientras él hablaba le había dirigido, quiero decir (él quería decir) que daba vueltas a su alrededor moviendo los brazos como un director de orquesta, dándole tiempo, dirigiéndole como si fuera música lo que oía y no palabras. Y de hecho es como para apostar que lo que él oía -él: Gould, Glenn Gould- era música y no palabras, cuyos significados no debían importarle lo mas mínimo, pues era su sonido, y sólo eso, lo que le embelesaba.

Y entonces pensé en que deber ser la vida para alguien que ve la música en todas partes: que especie de babélico concierto. A la larga, insostenible. Pensé en la voz que anuncia los trenes de la estación, en la cisterna del inodoro, en los truenos de verano, en los frenazos que oyes por la ventana y luego te asomas a mirar, en el gas que sale cuando desenroscas el tapón de una botella de agua: todo música, para él. ¿Qué haces? Es como si te dejaran perdido en una partituta mahleriana. Antes o después te mueres. A medio camino entre el antes y el después.

Litoral (Seaboard)

(soundscapes-radio mix by José Manuel Costa and Ana Vega Toscano)
Spain is still a land with some unspoiled spaces and wild coasts. Maybe that’s the reason why a generation of field recorders has been extremely active in the last decade, generating complex sound maps of several regions or releasing a very appreciable corpus of soundscapes,. For this Art’s Birthday we propose a travel along the coasts of Spain, beginning in the north and along the shores of the Cantabrico, de Atlantic Ocean, the Gibraltar Strait and the Mediterranean Sea , in Valencia and Cataluña. This travel in 20 minutes has been realized through the Radio Clásica program Vía Límite, by José Manuel Costa, with material provided by Xabier Erkizia, Juanjo Palacios, Carlos Suárez, Chinowsky Garachana, Edu Comelles and José Manuel Berenguer.

MUSIKARI IZATEAREN ARAZOAK

Friday, January 6th, 2012

1

Berria egunkariak 2012ko urtarrilaren 5ean BI AHOTSETARA iritzi atalean argitaratu bezala:

Ez dira oso maiz topatzen egun gutxiren bueltan hain modu berezi eta antagonikoan gurutzatzen diren bi berri. Batek Kataluniako piano jotzaile batek bizilagunari ordaindu beharreko isunaren istorioa kontatzen du. Lau urtez eta zortzi orduz egunero pianoaren musika (artikuluaren arabera pianoaren zarata) sufritu eta gero, aski dela pentsatu du bizilagunak, eta kalte-ordainak eskatu dizkio dagoeneko bizilagun ohi duen pianistari. Musikaren munduan karrera egin nahi duen bizilagunen bat dutenek dakite kontu hau zein serioa izatera irits daitekeen. Arazoa ez da soilik etengabe musika entzuteak suposatzen duen tormentua, etengabe errepikatzen den musika pieza (edo zati) berak sortzen duen nekea baizik. Epaileak arrazoi eman dio entzuleari, eta kalte-ordainak eskatu dizkio musikariari eta haren gurasoei. Musikariak bere lanbidea izugarri exijentea dela argudiatuz defendatu du bere burua.

Bigarren berriak egunero 24 urtez eta zortzi orduz musika egitea lanbide izan duen musikariaren eskari profesionala kontatzen du. Hainbertze orduz bere lanabes izan duen tronboiak eta lan egiten zuen orkestrak batez beste sortzen duten 80 dezibeleko bolumenak —metro gutxi batzuetara pasatzen den autoak edo ontzi garbitzaile batek sortzen duenaren parekoa— eragindako osasun kalteen ordainak eskatzen ditu. Musikaren munduan karrera egin nahi dutenek ongi dakite kontu hau zein serioa izatera irits daitekeen, arazoa ez baita etengabe musika jotzeak suposatzen duen tormentua, hainbertze ematen dizun horrek hainbertze kentzen dizula jakiteak suposatzen duen trantzea onartzea baizik. Aseguru etxea kexu da, gorreria ezin delako hain erraz probatu, baina epaileak gaixotasun profesionala onartu dio entzuleari, eta kalte-ordainak eskatu dizkio aseguruari. Musikariak ez du argudiatu bere lanbidea exijentea denik.

Bi kasuetan legeak entzulea onartu du biktima moduan, eta musika jo du erruduntzat. Musikariaren patua izango da orduan biktima eta borrero izatea aldi berean.
