Resumen
MAESO, Benito Eduardo Araújo y ALEXANDRE, Tarik Vivan. e-Music: an (un)heimlich harmony. Revista Convergências [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.31, pp.61-74. Epub 31-Mayo-2023. ISSN 2184-0180. https://doi.org/10.53681/c1514225187514391s.31.168.
Electronica is characterized by the use of electronical instruments and equipment to produce synthesized and unnatural sounds and harmonies. It was originated from the changes in the aesthetical and epistemological paradigms occurred in the end of XIXth and the beginning of XXth Centuries. Also, e-music reflects the representational crisis of the objects of Art. Using this background as a standpoint, this essay aims to investigate the production of contemporary art and, specifically, electronical music, under two keys: the technical images of Flusser and Benjamin and the Freudian concept of “unheimlich”. The question that drives this investigation can be resumed hereinafter: the sum of its characteristics (its layered construction, use of noises, samples, experimental and non-human resources) enables electronic music to generate sensations of discomfort or displacement to evoke a familiar and warm atmosphere? If so, it is necessary to establish relations between Aesthetics, Psychoanalysis and Philosophy of Technique.
