Description

  • Content Description: Recording of Xavier Garcia's "Pourquoi t'as jeté ta pantoufle?" ("Why did you throw your slipper?"). Garcia asks the listener to do two things when listening to the piece: to pervert your listening and to find drama where there is none. To is done through both concrete listening (identifying the surrounding sound world, hearing external noise and understanding the "clues" -- this sound is read as the index of a causality.) and abstract "reduced" listening (listening to the thing for itself, detached from its causal context -- a sounds characteristics, height, dynamics, articulations). Therefore, in the piece there is always a constant misunderstanding between listening to the counterpoint of different "ways" and listening to a casual reference anecdote. In addition, the ambiguity lies in the fact that the sound data that constitutes the anecdotal reference is also one of the melodic paths of counterpoint. The piece was realized in the G.R.M. studios in February and March 1981.
