using Intermediaries to compose music like:

marking,
picturing,
writing,
computing,
techniquing,
are:

Digital MATTER
or how it is important for us to count our sensations

 

We are used to use writing -> to distinguish -> and to describe our musical intentions [1]

This means 4 things:

• 1st, we cannot conceive music without outside measured signs,

• 2d, we don't like to have our works forgotten,

• 3rd, our brain is handicapped. Without intermediaries we cannot communicate.

• 4th, we like external objects: toys.

The score is a souvenir of an assembling and processing of quantified musical sensations [2].
The music in this way seems to be a structural result of small quantities.
A digital thinking by counting our fingers (a digit is a finger).

But listening music is a feeling of qualities, a continuum, a continuity.
What can we do against this paradox?

NOTHING,

either we conceive music through intermediaries or we conceive music by playing music.
Writing-music has nothing to do with Playing-music

-> they are different musical activities

but complementary for a composer.

We do not know to conceive continuum tools to make music.
We do not know to make music without tools.

By writing music we are connected with the world of structured-mind-sensations,
and we keep distance and we are disconnected with sound-sensations.
By playing music free from educated technique we are an explorer in sound-sensations
also connected with the world of structured-mind-sensation:
