Platina : Transmetodologia radical e escutas poéticas musicais entre Porto Alegre e Montevidéu

Abstract

The thesis presents as axis the relations between production, placement and consumption of musicalities made in an artisanal, individual and homemade way, carried in Internet portals, mainly bandcamp, in dialogue with the indie rock musical genre. In this context, the specific clipping is to map productions made by subjects living in the cities of Porto Alegre and Montevideo, in the expectation of a comparative, non-exhaustive approximation around the notion of Platina Aesthetics (relative to the countries around the Prata river). The thesis proposes nexus among the songs of the territories through the notion of poetic listening, without resorting to the musical genres or established cultural movements, in order to create an unprecedented arrangement, between composers and their productions, narrating a platinum aesthetic from the edges. This listening is related to contemporary audibility regimes marked by fragmentation, precariousness, composition, decomposition, recomposition, sampler, montage, gambiarra and low definition. It is from the researcher's listening, situated at that time, that the musical dialogues emerge between Porto Alegre, Montevideo, with some counterpoints in Barcelona. The listening, as a historical sociocultural production, is epistemology, object and research technique, supported by the theories of Schaeffer (CHION, 1999) and Szendy (2003). Listening to listen and listen to the subjects to listen to themselves is the basic methodological procedure, based on participant observation (GUBER, 2004) and the aesthetics of Walter Benjamin (1994; 2010) read by Susan Buck-Morss (1981, 1995, 1996), where composition as method and dialectical images allow us to relativize the ethnographic interpretative character. The analysis is based on mediation theories of Martín-Barbero (2004) and his nocturnal map, through the mediating instances of institutionality, rituality, sociality and technicity. Mediations observed in field research in the cities of Porto Alegre, Montevideo, Rocha and Barcelona, with six male composers and two female composers, who were interviewed. In addition to this description, the paper presents a sound thesis, composed of six dialectical songs, materialization of poetic listening. Dialogue between science and art, starting from poetics, of Bachelard (1971, 1966, 1994) and the notions of sense and presence, by Gumbrecht (2010) and quotidian and capitalism, by Lefebvre (1991), radicalized by the epistemological principles of transmetology (MALDONADO, 2008; 2013; 2014). The results are presented in the report and in the dialectical musicalities. In the written part, between field contexts and potentialities of the poetic approach, stands out contradictions imposed by the new audibility regimes, which challenge musicians to produce in a sustainable way, in scenarios of dematerialization of musical support and appropriation of scrap as musical lifestyles. Ecological music tactics arise, as in Joseph Ibrahim, exhaustive and fruitful home practices like those of Saskia and Nosso Querido Figueiredo, in addition to the timid and cosmological readings of music as universal harmony, by Darvin Elisondo. It is necessary to question: how musicians reinvent values of use and exchange in face of the popularization of musical registers composition as ordinary ethics? Dialectical songs are poetic apprehensions of the field, which go back to conceptual experiences of the researcher performing his listening as an arrangement. They are not teleological or pedagogical, but open to the indeterminacy of the audibility regimes of listeners as readers.
