This article examines the connections between experimental composer Pauline Oliveros, the US somatics movement, and the new musicology. While scholars tend to position Oliveros’s work within the familiar framework of women’s liberation and queer activism, we should instead understand Oliveros as a somatic feminist for whom somatic practice was synonymous with women’s liberation. Oliveros helped instigate an influential movement to integrate somatic discourse and practice into US musical culture—including music scholarship. Scholars of the so-called new musicology concerned with issues of embodiment also applied somatic concepts in their work. Oliveros and the new musicology share a history rooted in US popular culture of the 1970s. Across this period and beyond, US composers, performers, and scholars alike worked within and alongside the somatics movement to legitimize the performing body as a source of musical knowledge.

In 2018 I was appointed to the position of Glasgow’s first UNESCO City of Music artist-in-residence. Over the course of a year I worked with numerous community groups and choirs across the city to collaboratively devise and realise a new choral/film work, titled Åčçëñtß, which was performed by an audience of over three hundred and fifty people at its premiere at the Glasgow Royal Concert Halls in 2019. Åčçëñtß explores accents as a sonorous social matter – staccatos and lilts, patterns of difference in our voices, as sonic markers of place and community – sounds that I have come to understand as resonating between our individual and collective identities. This paper presents some of the thoery orientating my compositional praxis, speaking nearby a reflective account of some of the compositional considerations and processes undertaken through the project. Through it I explore Karen Barad’s methodology of diffractive thought, Trinh T. Minh-ha’s notion of speaking nearby within the interval, Pauline Oliveros’ practice of Deep Listening, thinking towards how these might meet through my praxis to come close to Timothy Corrigan’s Refractive Cinema. Åčçëñtß speaks to the complexity of authorship and agency in distributed, collaborative composition and the motive relationships between sound and image, spectacle and spectator – between the individual and the communal.

O projeto Sideral foi desenvolvido pelos artistas Marcela Armas e Gilberto Esparza, como mais um acréscimo à série de esculturas eletrofônicas expostas por Esparza depois que ele recebeu o Golden Nica de 2015. Em seu esquema básico, o Concepción-Adargas, que é o título do trabalho que emana do Projeto Sideral, usa um meteorito de 3,3 toneladas, que atingiu em 1786 o estado de Chihuahua, México e agora é preservado pelo Instituto de Astronomia da Universidade Nacional Autônoma do México (UNAM). O campo magnético na superfície do meteorito é detectado e traduzido em sons que recriam as harmonias distantes de Buchla, de maneira semelhante à composição Licht de Stockhausen ou às canções contemplativas de Pauline Oliveros, por mais importantes que sejam em aspectos do som, é o companheiro de Armas e Esparza, Daniel Llermaly, que os transforma em termos semelhantes aos da música indígena Tarahumara, uma frequência semelhante conhecida pelos povos da região onde o meteorito atingiu.

El concepto de paisaje sonoro o soundscape acuñado por primera vez por el canadiense R. Murray Schafer en 1933 se basa en la defensa del valor del silencio y del sonido por sí mismo como fuente de creatividad. El objetivo principal del artículo es reflexionar sobre el concepto de paisaje sonoro como arte sonoro y reseñar las sinergias entre naturaleza y paisaje a través de la concepción de estos en la historia. Se plantea la paradoja del ruido como música y la incógnita del orden primigenio del sonido. Se incide en el valor emocional del paisaje sonoro y su utilidad como herramienta didáctica. Cuando se comprende la noción de Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016) con la escucha profunda y la falta de práctica de la escucha activa, se pone de manifiesto la pérdida de instintos naturales de los humanos. También se pone en valor la utilidad para monitorear la naturaleza, de estricta necesidad en los últimos tiempos. Y, en especial, se refleja el arte que proviene de ese marco natural. Para ello, se ha utilizado el análisis del discurso como metodología, apoyada en artistas sonoros como Murray Schafer o John Cage, pero también en José Val del Omar o en Llorenç Barber, músicos que abrieron nuevas formas y percepciones del sonido, por ende, ajenos a cánones clásicos y academicistas. Las conclusiones apuntan a que no es fácil encontrar el nuevo arte transversal en auditorios de programación regular, pero sí en festivales específicos y, en especial, a nuestro alrededor, en la naturaleza.
