The instrument apparatus: a prepared clarinet perspective
(2022)
author(s): Chiara Percivati
published in: Research Catalogue
The text discusses one of the different ways in which prepared instruments come to us: the form of an apparatus. Following the distinction proposed by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (and by most other dictionaries analyzed), I will discuss the behavior of the instrument as an apparatus: 1. as a system or net; 2. in the Foucauldian sense, as a functional system of knowledge and power relations.
