Tacet is a new research publication dedicated to
sound arts and
experimental music. Published annually and bilingually
(French, English), its ambition is to create an
interdisciplinary and international space of reflection
for this practices, in all its aesthetic diversity.
Tacet, as
John Cage showed so well in
4'33'', designates
a moment of silence observed by an instrumentalist
during the whole period of a movement. By
extension, it becomes, as the title of this publication,
a moment of introspection, of re flectivity and refl ection,
where music interrupts itself to give way to
research and theoretical questioning.
Tacet aims, in this way, on the side of sound arts and experimental
music, to contribute to the renewal of theoretical
research by confronting and intersecting artists and musicians'
speeches, studies coming from aesthetics and philosophy
of art, from the critical renewal of musicology,
from cultural studies and gender studies, from political
thought, from social sciences and geography.
Tacet is part of the
Ohcetecho series, dedicated to sound arts and experimental music, published by Les presses du réel (editorial board:
Matthieu Saladin and
Yvan Etienne).
