Il suono che dialoga con le arti e la creatività diventa disciplina. La sua stessa natura lo rende un veicolo perfetto nell’interconnessione con i più diversi linguaggi. Come molti generi di arte contemporanea, l'arte del suono è di natura interdisciplinare, o assume forme ibride. La sound art può convergere in tematiche come l'acustica, la psicoacustica, l’elettronica, la noise music, nei supporti audio o nei suoni ambientali, nelle esplorazioni del corpo umano, in scultura, nei film o nei video e in una serie in continua espansione di soggetti/oggetti che sono parte della discussione permanente sull'arte contemporanea. Nell'arte occidentale primi esempi includono gli intonarumori di Luigi Russolo e i successivi esperimenti dadaisti, fino ai surrealisti dell'Internazionale Situazionista o gli happening di Fluxus. A causa della diversità della sound art e delle sue variabili espressive, estetiche, modali, spinge ancora oggi al dibattito se l'arte del suono rientra nel campo di dell'arte visiva, della musica sperimentale, o di entrambi. Altre linee artistiche da cui l'arte del suono emerge sono l’arte concettuale, il minimalismo, il site-specific, la poesia sonora, la parola, la poesia d'avanguardia, e il teatro sperimentale, la performance, l’installazione. In questo spazio vogliamo rappresentare le tante [illimitate?] potenzialità del suono senza porre freni alla ricerca, senza disegnare confini, assolutamente liberi. Questo spazio è un luogo dove la condivisione di idee, spunti, considerazioni e, soprattutto di proposte, saranno benvenute! Buon ascolto. Sound Art Zone

Performance artist Carolee Schneemann dies aged 79

Pierre Schaeffer an interview with the pioneer of musique concrete

Introduction: What is Musique Concrete and why is it so important today? Musique Concrete is music made of raw sounds: thunderstorms, steam-engines, waterfalls, steel foundries… The sounds are not produced by traditional acoustic musical instruments. They are captured on tape (originally, before tape, on disk) and manipulated to form sound-structures. The work method is therefore empirical. It starts from the …
