Discussion | Chords and Discords — Musical Patterns of Affinities

Tuesday, October 25, 2011, 6:30 pm

Free

The affinity tables established by chemists served as models for sentimental encounters. But the concordance and discordance resulting from affinities are closer to musical phenomena, where associations infinitely redistribute harmonic correlations. Pierre Bayard, author of How to Talk About Books You Haven’t Read, will discuss this topic with Wendy Lesser, author of Music for Silenced Voices: Shostakovich and His Fifteen Quartets, and François Noudelmann, who explores in Le toucher des philosophes (to be translated) the relationship that Barthes, Sartre and Nietzsche had to their own practise of the piano.

There will also be a performance, My Dog Is My Piano. Tocky von Arnim and Bettina von Arnim live together in the same house. They do not speak the same language, they are hardly alike and yet, they have assembled. In My Dog Is My Piano, Antonia Baehr sketches a subjective acoustic portrait of the affinity between her mother and her dog : can the house they share be read as the score of the stories of canine-human living together? What kind of language emerges from this  long  duet  of  everyday comings  and goings, of  these  choreographies of affinities?
