Abstract

Jean Luc Nancy Indices 21 7 and 3 w/AMAE/De Pinto and Jean Luc Nancy @ Helicotrema Recorded Audio Festival, Pinault Foundation, Punta Della Dogana/Palazzo Grassi, November 4th 2015.

21. A body is a difference. Since it is a difference from every other body-while minds are identical-it's never done with differing. It also differs from itself. How are we to ponder a baby and an old man next to one another?
7. The soul is extended everywhere along the body, says Descartes; it is entirely everywhere all along it, on its very surface, insinuated within it and slipped into it, infiltrated, impregnating, tentacular, inflating, modeling, omnipresent.
3. A body isn't empty. It's full of other bodies, pieces, organs, parts, tissues, knee-caps, rings, tubes, levers, and bellows. It's also full of itself: that's all it is.

The piece opens slowly with ethereal wisps of voice heralding Nancy’s performance before degraded strings piano and percussion enter into the mix in a. rhythmic cycle. The distorted timbres, rough edges, and small discontinuities in time, frequency and amplitude present in Nancy’s recordings are carried over into the soundworld.
