Ear Music


by Daisuke TERAUCHI

This work is realized by sounds created by touching one's ear.

The members of the audience, through their own listening inclinations, become performers.

Therefore, this music can be heard by only the performer themselves. Recording is also impossible.

The manner of touching the ear and the duration of this work are free. An infinite variety of sound color is possible depending on the  various ways of touching the ear.

The objective of this work is to encourage each performer to devise unique performing techniques in order to create interesting music.

This work was premiered at the creative music festival in Hiroshima on August 23, 2003. On the occasion of a premiere, it was performed by all members of the audience after Daisuke Terauchi explained the performance method.  In the event that this work is performed in a situation similar to that explained above it is best to decide on the duration beforehand.

There is another variation to this work entitled "Ear Music II" which involves the performing of the composition by others rather than themselves which will be premiered in the future
