This paper presents a reflection on
sound experimentation and possible paradoxes between music, sound and language
in contemporary artistic production, from
the appropriation of new digital technologies. From the moment that an acoustic
instrument is connected to an interface
capable of processing its signal, we have
access to the intrinsic potentialities of the
sound. Combining investigative processes
that can perform the exchange of data and/
or signals between the acoustic instruments, electronic devices/circuits, mobile
computers, controllers, smartphones, wireless communication networks, sensors,
amplified objects, etc., experimentation
with mobile digital devices has opened up
an irreversible rift in sound making, greatly
expanding artistic possibilities. Sound experimentation, its creation and diffusion
are increasingly close to the skin, touch,
and are increasingly close to the human
body itself. By expanding the focus beyond
the traditional approaches on rhythm, melody and harmony, which are linked to a
certain period of Western music, and engaging on enhanced and deep listening
experiences, we realize the potential that
sound carries, with all its expressive nuances. Thus, the appropriation of new technologies enables the creation of a specific
type of performance and composition anchored in sound manipulation and a more
detailed listening experience that may be
dissociated from a specific referentiality.
