Sonic Commentary: Audio Series Volume 29

Abstract

20160 consists of 3 rolls of semitransparent paper, each sized 10 cm × 22 m, trisected from a found paper roll. Since January 2016 I have been inscribing the first roll with typewriters found on site. The first performative presentation took place in Ciudad de México on 9 February 2016. I’ve been tracing the world onto the roll—words and text found in poetry, philosophy and the world. In the act of writing, the world operates on the unveiled paper, impregnates it and so actualizes the score, and once the paper is rolled up again, its veiled transparency lets the world’s abundance manifested on the paper mingle into ever-new possible compounds. 20170 consists of approximately 400 sheets of old found paper. I’ve been inscribing the paper since April 2017. Wandering through the world and dwelling on their intrinsic realities, I insert the paper in the typewriter and find myself writing. Writing the score coincides with its actualization and allows for ever-new instances. There is no other time than that of the enunciation and every text is eternally written here and now.
