Acousmatic Music: Towards an Art of Performance

This paper presents the results of a research conducted since 2015 on the recording, archiving and study of acousmatic music performance. Based on the analysis of three interpretations of the same work, it presents the development of new methods of musical analysis and the redefinition of the electroacoustic work as a network of agents, objects, and concepts inscribed in a temporality that goes beyond the moment of the performance. It also highlights the interaction between the different members of the research project: the artistic research informs the musicological one, which in turn animates the musical practice. The musicology of artistic creation can thus be considered as a performative discipline.
