Acousmatics is a way of staging the voice in which the carrier of the voice is deliberately kept invisible. The Larousse Dictionary defines acousmatics as a sound that we hear without being able to see its origin. With the invention of radiophony and telephony, acousmatics – voice without a body – have become pervasive to our everyday lives, only to be superseded by a more body-related form of audiovisual communication with the implementation of mobile telephony over the last few decades.
The “Acousmatic Lectures”, an ongoing project by the artist Mario Asef, used the framework of performances to addresses voice-related phenomena, especially those related to matters of seeing and not seeing. Asef hosted nine “Acousmatic lectures” at the Errant Sound Space in Berlin. Following the artist’s intention, these presentations were all of an academic nature. The lecturers /performers were scientists reporting from their respective field of expertise. This was arranged in order to be able to observe the effects of acousmatic settings beyond the influence of sensory effects of an artistic or aesthetic nature.
It is the intended purpose of this two-day conference at the Kunstraum of Leuphana University Lüneburg to discuss a variety of aspects related to the contemporary relevance of acousmatics. Experts from that field are invited to present statements regarding their respective views on the topic. What significance do “disembodied voices” hold today? Which relevance do acousmatics have for the study and practice of lecture performances? Which position is marked by acousmatics within the histories of music and sound? These and some related questions will be at the center of our interest in this conference.
Mario Asef, Sven Spieker, Clemens Krümmel, Sabina Sanio, Holger Schulze, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, Sabeth Buchmann, Alex Arteaga, Mai Wegener.
