• W3146511944 abstract "DETERRITORIALIZE YOURSELF! (FOUR META-MUSICAL VIGNETTES FOR JOHN RAHN) CHRIS STOVER MADE MY FIRST DEEP DIVE INTO BOTH Deleuze and Guattari and J.K. Randall’s work at around the same time, and through the same source: John Rahn’s seminars on analytical personae and critical theory at the University of Washington in the mid-2000s. It was also in one of these seminars that I first began thinking seriously about how one might go about critically, analytically, theoretically, and politically engaging musical improvisation, as well as, more generally, how to think musically: that is, how to make thinking about music be more like music.1 In order to clarify this last point, we might read four statements of John’s alongside one another: 1. All discourse is “committed” to forming the world that it is about, so that it behooves the musician to make discourse about music like music, at least in the essential quality of rich particularity , and perhaps in all five of Nelson Goodman’s “symptoms of the aesthetic” . . . : semantic density, syntactical density, relative repleteness, exemplification, and multiple and complex reference.2 I 256 Perspectives of New Music 2. At the in-time extreme is an obsessive concern for the way in which, at every musical time, events immediately following that time grow out of events preceding that time. Such an explanation would consist of as many explanations as there are moments of musical time in a piece . . . plus an explanation of the way all soexperienced piece-moments integrate into the entire piece.3 3. [following a select list of Heraclitus aphorisms] Musicians, he is speaking to us! The vagabonds of the night, the magicians, the bacchantes, the inspired! Clearly this is a different voice. . . . Music flows, and swirls madly.4 4. The advantage of semigroups and monoids over groups as a general model for machines is that not all machines can run backwards. Indeed, if we want to model musical acts as taking place in irreversible time, we will need to escape groups and inhabit monoids.5 Among many other take-aways, these maxims suggest to me a temporal effervescence, a commitment to understanding (and describing) music from within the ongoing practice of its enactment, a productive conflation of rational and mystical, and an attitude toward transformational thinking that escapes both the ontological fixity of Being and the formalist apparatus of homomorphic group functions.6 It is important to note that John in no way is taking a hard line with any of the positions articulated or implied in these quotes; each is intended as an image of thought, a provocation to get us thinking about how we think about music, to imagine other perspectives and refine the ones we’re already engaged in. Time and change (and discourse about time and change): these are the themes that have animated the way I think about doing music theory. What follows are four loosely related meta-musical vignettes, nominally about theorizing music-improvisation (and, to a degree, about Deleuze), but ducking and weaving through many ancillary themes, all rhizomatically connected, but also all forming a single quasi-improvisational narrative. 1. IMPROVISATION AND BECOMING-OTHER It is not so much working together to make something new out of the old but, rather, the more solitary act of “standing-within” the Deterritorialize Yourself! 257 old, occupying it in such a way that its own opening onto being or “thrust into the Open” is preserved. If there is a collaborative dimension to improvisation it is not empathic but closer to what Heidegger describes as the “unsociability” of “Being-with.”7 Improvised musical expression is an ongoing process of becomingother . We can speak of the becoming-other of music as a purely sonic phenomenon, as the way in which the sonic materiality of a collective musical expression (the music, in its process of becoming) transforms over time. In Deleuzian terms, this proceeds by way of a series of actualizations of the virtual openness of what at any moment could be, and which every moment opens onto. Another way to say this is that the event of an action enacts a becoming-actual of some bundle of virtual forces, all already there..." @default.
