Abstract

The progressive distancing of music and art from certain reference frameworks since the late 19th century led to their gradual turning towards its own resources for artistic production, towards a kind of interiority. In music, certain contradictions arise when, in attention to sound, the operation involves an approach to acoustics, electronics, and computing, that is, a deconfinement of the limits of the musical field itself. Through a look at the work In Basso, the following text presents an approach to musical composition based on attention to instrumental resources and their acoustic characteristics, exploring practical possibilities to generate a relationship between resource and musical discourse. The contradictions and aesthetic consequences of an artistic act that seems to distance itself from creative subjectivity are also evaluated.
