Listening to Yourself through the Otherself: OnBackground Noise Studyand other works
Agostino Di Scipio · Organised Sound · 2011
In this paper I describe a work of mine,Background Noise Study, as a starting point to raise questions of broader relevance for current artistic practices. Issues are presented in terms varying from technical and specific, to more philosophical and general (system-theory, biocybernetics, ecology). Excursions are made into the music-theoretical (understanding of key issues in the sound arts, such as ‘space’, ‘performance’, ‘form’ or ‘timbre’) and the political (politics of sound, biopolitics of performance and listening).
