Phenomenology of sound

 

The phenomenolgy of space and its production through sonic interplay draws out of Merleau-Ponty's original thoughts about percpetionand how the "ambiguous, the shifting" nature of reality is "shaped by its context". (LaBelle p. 174)

 

• Every object is perceived as an object only in a context, which includes it.
• Every structure is perceived only as a structure of objects which composes it.

• Every object of perception is at the same time an OBJECT in so far as it is perceived as a unit locatable in a context, and a STRUCTURE in so far as it is itself composed of several objects (Michel Chion, Guide de Traitement des objet musicaux1983, p. 56).

Pierre Schaeffer calls this relationship object-structure chain, and may either go towards the infinitesimal, or inversely, towards the infinitely big.
