Eric Maestri, « COMPOSITION AS AN ACT AND EXISTENTIAL TRACE », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10670/1.6ad944...
In this paper, I use the words of philosophy to investigate my compositional practice. I turn specifically to Martin Heidegger's thought, as developed in the central part of Being and Time, in relation to the Being-in. From the reflections of the German philosopher, I develop an interpretive scheme to explain my compositional approaches, highlighting a specific aspect of my practice, which I define through the notions of compositional act, compositional instant, existential trace, and projection. In this paper, I discuss these notions and advance a hypothesis on musical language, presenting musical instruments as signs of the acoustic experience and the musical language as a reflection and presentation of this experience.
