contrastes (dispositifs d'écoute; c'est moi qui souligne)
"dispositifs d'écoute" refers to the interaction of the pieces with
the listener's immediate sound environment, and how that shapes the
overall listening experience.
"c'est moi qui souligne" is a literary expression used by authors
quoting someone else's text and highlighting a particular section: the
highlights/italics are mine. This
addresses the question of authorship
in the context of the listening situation described above: although
the listening experience is mediated by a sound environment
and
pre-existing conditions beyond my control, it is clear that adding
those particular sounds to an existing environment is a pre-determined
situation set out by
myself. Therefore my suggestively is ever
present; despite the many layers of chance operations at play in the
making of these pieces, and no matter how hard the
man who had nothing
to say tried to make sure sounds were only sounds.
