Fuga y ciframiento. Algunas reflexiones en torno a la música y el lenguaje

Abstract

What does music have that it pushes us to talk about it? Is music something that is beyond human language? What is the difference between "mother tongue", "language", and "discourse"? We try to find music in everything that permits encoding, insist on giving it a value or precise coordinates in documents, files or more recently, in codes and networks, but there will always be something in music that escapes from language. A certain thing that will elude the very discourse that we were compelled to enunciate by music. I mean the real unattainable that is the fuel for creativity.
