Toward a post-phenomenology of extra-musical sound as compositional determinant
Article Abstract:
A musical language is developed from extra-musical study of auditory perception, recorded sound and architectural acoustics. The listener's phenomenological experience of the acoustic potential of both the room and the instrumental or electronic forces are treated as the determinants of content, discrete and semantic pitch choices, rhythm, tempo and form of the musical composition, enabling it to emerge as a space similar to the multidimensional space of everyday listening habits.
