> Music and Performativity
>
> "Ideas behind 'performativity' provide a crucial piece-in-the-puzzle
> in my
> theoretical work concerning 'materiality' in musical composition, or
> what
> constitutes 'music' in our general understanding of the category. And
> consequently, how this theory affects my own compositional thinking
> and the
> direction it has taken me so far, into the domain of 'installation
> art'.
>
> I will start by introducing the notion of 'phraseological reading', or
> simply the notion of 'phrase', to expound my theory which attempts to
> rationalise the value(s) which we invest in the surface, in other
> words,
> identity of an 'ephemeral' practice. This in turn places an emphasis
> on the
> activity of listening, which intrinsically links back to the
> 'performative'
> in music."
