Becoming Music: Sonority and the Musical Act, Affection. Diagrams Notes Concerning Sonorous Semiosis and Corporal Experience of Time.

Abstract

The text offers an examination of the intelligiqility of music holding on to the idea ofthe musical as an enunciation act. The musical experience stand s out for its affection force, where it is necessary to take joto account the temporal nature of affections. We review here Igor Stravinsky's figure of speculation that consigns to an act of sense the discernment of musicality which cannot arrear in the sonorous quality itselfbut implies a recognition of an ostensive impulse from which metaphorical and reflective series are produced and directed towards intelligibility.

We propose an understanding of the musical as a force that is distant from the notion of code since signification is not derived from any previous structure. Music is the fulfillment of an act of sense in which potential signification of sonority is experienced through a passional perceived flux.
