Abstract
An interwoven reading of Hans Joachim Hespos’ Weiβschatten and Jacques Derrida’s ‘Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences’ (Writing and Difference, 1967). I examine the impact that improvisation has on performance and consider how an information overload creates shifting layers of reference. I explore the ways in which Hespos combines information systems, and infinite, or ‘overabundant’, chains of signifiers, which allow the space for collaboration and performer agency, thereby keeping the performer/composer/audience interface in constant movement.
期刊介绍：
Contemporary Music Review provides a forum for musicians and musicologists to discuss recent musical currents in both breadth and depth. The main concern of the journal is the critical study of music today in all its aspects—its techniques of performance and composition, texts and contexts, aesthetics, technologies, and relationships with other disciplines and currents of thought. The journal may also serve as a vehicle to communicate documentary materials, interviews, and other items of interest to contemporary music scholars. All articles are subjected to rigorous peer review before publication. Proposals for themed issues are welcomed.
