Tomoko Sauvage Musique Hydromantique
Styles: musique concrète, aleatory music, ambient, field recording
Others: Jacob Kirkegaard, Cecilia Lopez, Richard Chartier, Sabisha Friedberg
What is a musical instrument? Is it a self-contained object that produces noise solely according to its own inner constitution and logic (at least when operated by a musician)? Or is it a borderless, fluid medium between its surroundings and the ears of its receiver, simply one of many channels through which a particular environment manifests itself aurally?
