How can acousmatic music communicate its intention to the listener? Ess

Acousmatic music can be challenging to communicate its invention to the listener. Unlike traditional music their is no score, no system and no pre-segmented separate units like notes (Anderson, 2007 p. 2). Acousmatic music uses what is heard without seeing or knowing the somatogenic origin of the sound as a compositional tool (Contr, WWW). It is a type of electroacoustic music, which exists in a recorded format, transmitted and perceived, during performances, via the loudspeaker (Anderson, p. 2). Rather than sense conventional musical forms acousmatic music may rely unaccompanied on intercourse. Communication primarily focuses on linguistic communication. There are different forms of language when introduced to electroacoustic music. Language can be understood through audience, perception and appointment or understanding (Adkins, 1999 p. 2 Delalande, 1998 pp. 26 - 49 Nudds, 2007 p.7 Seddon, 2005 p. 1). These will be looked at to see if they can wait on in communicating the figure of acousmatic music to the listener. Understanding language beforehand may help in better understanding listening, perception and identification. Language is the bearer of importation and is a universal medium of communication (Evans, 1973 p. 42 Stenlund, 1990 p. 14). With in electroacoustic music, language is utilize as a tool for establishing an aesthetic (Keane, 1986 p. 118). Pierre Schaeffer considers it as being presupposed (Windsor, 1995 1.1.1). Although, both lecture about language they talk about different aspects of language in relation with electroacoustic music. Schaeffer talks about the creation of music, Keane talks about the exercise before making music. Schaeffers theory of language may mask the communication between composer and liste... ...eanes suggestion of explaining and expressing the blueprint to the listener through speech or literature (communication) seems like the most plausible way of making trusted the listener will know the composers inten t. This way the listener could put the composers intention together whilst listening, which may make the listening experience more enjoyable. The more informed the listener is about the music the more pleasurable and meaning the listening experience (Burton, Cavalier, Hoffer, Hughes, 1997 p. 1). Although, there are listeners who want to make their own listening experience through their perception regardless of knowing the intention of the piece. The only listeners who enjoyed the pieces were the musically trained listeners. Their theory was listening to acousmatic music may help them in gaining a wider understanding on the subject as it is ambiguous.
