Seguimiento Continuo de Infinitos Puntos..., by Sebastián Jatz:

listening as a way of interrogating the place where the music occurs

Abstract

The article focuses on the aesthetic and epistemological analysis of a piece by the composer Sebastián Jatz, written exclusively with words, which tensioned, in 2011, the discourses and practices in the field of written music production of Chilean experimental music. The research proposes that the verbal notation of that work dismisses a descriptive functionality referring to sound materials, to give way to a form of prescription for the action that enunciates conditions of possibility that allow the deployment of a type of listening that operates as a question towards the contingency of the place where it is performed.
