Memories and Feelings of Sound - Simon Emmerson (Reino Unido)
My chapter ‘Feeling sound’ was published in 2018. I realised recently that I had never presented this live with music examples. So I thought that for CMMAS 2021 I would do so. My aim is to encourage a vocabulary of describing responses to electroacoustic sound - to describe the sensation - what it feels like. How do we describe the sound’s impact upon us? The aim is not to define a vocabulary but to encourage a discussion. We may then begin to understand this music’s meaning to us. I have taken a series of memories of some of the earliest electroacoustic concerts I attended from 1969-1975. Remembering the profound effects these had on me: works by Roger Smalley, Stockhausen, Cage & Tudor, Denis Smalley, Philip Glass.
