表象、激进主义与音乐“后声”:作曲家对音乐治疗中未来音乐的看法

 摘要

 本文介绍了一位实验性作曲家对当代音乐治疗实践的看法。我首先介绍了我对这个领域的印象,通过采访执业音乐治疗师和相关文献调查收集资料。然后,文章首先引用了G. Douglas Barrett 激进的后声波音乐理论质疑了现有音乐在治疗中的未来,在将前卫美学工具化之前,想象一下音乐在音乐治疗中会变成什么。这一探索将特别关注于当代艺术中艺术客体的非实物化影响,以及当代音乐实践中一种类似的去中心化的声音可能带来的潜在好处。具体来说,理论框架的建立进一步压制了规范形式的权威性,并增加了以前被边缘化群体的贡献。其次,在检查这种美学对治疗环境的适当性之前,评论对两首近期的将声音去中心化的音乐作品进行了分析。最后,文章指出了许多历史的先例,说明音乐治疗关于严格(和根本)的自我检查的潜力,并研究如何扩大这些尝试。

Author Biography

Aaron Moorehouse, Bath Spa University, United Kingdom

Aaron Moorehouse is a PhD composer studying at Bath Spa University’s Open Scores Lab—a research group exploring novel approaches to scoring and new modes of musicmaking. His thesis investigates how music therapy frameworks may be used to draw attention to the psychosocial impacts of non-therapeutic music practices—subsequently illustrating that these impacts are present in any musical act, and encouraging composers to develop a vocabulary with which to address the psychosocial implications of their creative practices. Similarly, his own creative practice problematises the methods by which academic institutions draw distinctions between ethical and unethical creative practices (as well as the situations in which such distinctions are deemed necessary), and he often deliberately provokes hesitancy in order to uncover where these boundaries lie. Aaron’s work repeatedly manipulates and subverts various framing devices, and also makes frequent use of a multitude of other postmodern and postconceptual techniques—including fictocriticism and dematerialisation.
