CQB 1922_NUM

FR //

Derrière les schémas d’organisation se cachent les phénomènes qui les sous-tendent. Par exemple, le langage parlé nécessite la perception d’éléments fondamentaux (phonèmes) et la transcendance de ces mêmes éléments en une structure qui nous les fait oublier. Similairement, sur le plan de l’entendement, la musique est la négation du son au profit de son organisation. Cependant, un son qui serait complètement abandonné à son autonomie, plutôt que recueilli comme matériau d’une facture poétique, retournerait à la rumeur de la nature. C’est donc dire que, pour être perçu esthétiquement, le son a besoin de la musique autant que la musique a besoin du son. Musique d’art pour quintette à cordes articule cette tension dialectique entre son et musique, en quête d’un point d’équilibre.

EN //

Organizational structures hide the phenomena on which they are built. For example, spoken language requires both a certain perception of fundamental elements (phonemes), and a state of transcendence that enables us to forget these very elements. Similarly, in the aural sphere, music is the negation of sound for the benefit of its organization. Nevertheless, a sound that is completely left to its autonomous state (as opposed to it being collected for its potential as a poetic tool) goes back to the hum of nature. Thus, in order for it to be aesthetically perceivable, sound needs nature as much as music needs sound. Musique d’art pour quintette à cordes articulates this dialectical tension between sound and music; seeking balance.
