“Image, Archetype, Duration and the Collective.”

Beginning from Diotima’s discussion of the “name” at the end of the Symposium, Michael Pisaro will discuss how distinct and limited sonic and/or score images serve as the guiding principle in certain experimental works, including a couple recent pieces. In the end this concept will be connected to collective action as a performance problem ; one with perhaps a larger reach than the score itself.
