«From vibrating space to resonant listening: space and listening as aesthetic-creative and performative fields, in sound creations for the public sphere»

Our study is based on some concrete questions in relation to space, listening, and the resulting articulation of both issues. This is reflected in the aesthetic implications of this occurrence in the field of creation already referred to; whether as a creative act (the spatial); as an experience of contemplation-perception (listening); and as an expanded perspective of the creator-work-spectator interrelation (poetics of public space) which, in this work, points towards a relational, non-linear conception of radical interdependence between these three components of the musical act.

The latter implies speaking in terms of a nesting in which the poetics and aesthetics deployed by this encounter converge, and which are projected in the multiple event of creating, experiencing, listening, and giving meaning to a sound creation that occurs in the public-urban space.

For this purpose, this paper has made a selection of three works corresponding to three conceptual approaches of three creators who are currently active in their artistic production, and that are sufficiently demonstrative in their conceptual, creative and performative strength to be elucidated by means of an analytical-conceptual study.
