About this exposition

This is a video registration of a lecture on the composition of the work "Source Signals 2" at Willem Twee, Den Bosch. After the LP Source Signals was released, I had been playing guitar at home almost on a daily basis, initially without a concrete plan. Gradually, however, an idea developed to compose an acousmatic multichannel work in which guitar playing would be the only source. I deliberately say ‘guitar playing’ and not just ‘guitar sounds’, because I’m interested in guitar sounds produced with musical intentions, expressed through playing skills that are developed through practice. Nevertheless, these ‘played’ sounds still had to function in a larger, abstract musical construction. So, the question was: where lies the threshold between listening to recorded guitar playing and the perception of a higher-level musical construction consisting of played guitar sounds?
