Criação e criatividade: o modo de operar a música segundo a psicanálise do século XXI

Abstract

Is there a specific music of the twenty-first century? The axis of proposals will present the work of John Cage, character who generated the musical thought that is still effective nowadays; the one reduced to a minimal structure. The work Silence, 1961, exposes his matrix: the absence of silence, and the noise as sound. This research begins with the informational/communicational moment experienced in the music in the last decades, with the intention of positioning and describing these characteristics. According to Cage, what was agreed to be named as music was in transition for an art of organization of sounds. With the objective of thinking that transition and its consequences, some concepts of the New Psychoanalysis (MD Magno), especially, Haver (There is), Instinct, Prosthesis, Creation, Creativity and ART (in the sense of art and anticulation). The use of the verb “Haver”, relates with the present form in Portuguese language. This idea can be translated by the expression “there is”. The significance of “Haver” transcends the ideas transmitted by the verbs “to exist”, “to have” and “to be”. For the New Psychoanalysis, “Haver” means that there is everything before the possibility of describes the conception of any existence. The word Creation concerns to the possibility of transcending the categories in current usage, and consequently, turning it available for the experimentation of new ways into the musical field, whereas Creativity lists the forms of manipulating, softening and disseminating, information and the ways derived from the Creation. Beyond the frustrated search for the Absolut Silence, Cage was forwarded to the possibility of all sounds. Therefore, when he faced with the impossible silence, he could listen to the Music of Everything, or, The Music of “Haver”. This perspective opens for the field of the Concrete Music (Pierre Schaeffer) and for the sound synthesis of the end of the 1960s (Stockhausen), which remain referred to the collage of sounds and the creation through the electric prostheses. The operant ways to do the music seems to be the same created in the twentieth century, but its sense, increasingly, tends to include itself in the Generalized Articulation (ART) available in the twenty-first century.
