Timbre of the place: A Deleuzoguattarian inquiry to assemble music and place
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the potentials of affects and music in terms of Deleuzoguattarian assemblage thinking. It adopts music as an emancipatory medium to comprehend the post-representative emergences and the togetherness of affective relationalities in place experiences. The study presents an experiential inquiry of composing the musical pieces of two contrasting places and deciphering the spatial stimuli of two contrasting musical pieces. The findings suggest that music, with its rich relational and affective qualities, can significantly contribute to the understanding of places as it transcends the traditional representational mediums, allowing for a deeper appreciation of urban environments’ complexities and self-organizing nature.
