Anything more than music? Reflections after Postmodernism

Abstract

In this essay I present some reflections from a diverse group of texts by authors who have thought about the twentieth century crisis and its implications for the debate about what the music is at this moment in the history. In the shadow of postmodernism I want to highlight some events that emerge as potential keys to think in conjunction the sonic arts, and the importance of the body through dance, gesture and a new vocalism or expanding the boundaries of acceptable sound artistically by John Cage, Pierre Schaeffer or Murray Schafer.
