Music as a Spatiotemporal Turntable: Exploring the body as an Utopia through Space and Sound


I investigate how sound, in a performative context, becomes a catalyst for the body’s engagement within a space.
This exploration transcends mere auditory perception to illustrate how the body dynamically responds and navigates the sonic landscape, creating a performative dialogue with its surroundings.

The role of hearing is a very rich and complex one — as linguist Roland Barthes points out, sounds act on our minds in three ways: as ‘indices’ (the alarming sound of an explosion), ‘signs’ (the literal meaning of a word), and ‘signifiers’ (unconscious associations triggered by a word like end’). And hearing is also very much a social activity too-according to Labelle: the rich undulations of auditory material do much to unfix  delineations between the private and the public. Sound operates by forming links, groupings and conjunctions that accentuate individual identity as a relational project...[and] weave an individual into a larger social fabric... contributing to the meaning of shared spaces.
