On Sounds, Musical Language And Listening To Depths
This talk is an intellectual continuation of the two talks titled “Music and Psychoanalysis” and “Sounds in Silence” prepared for Psike Istanbul during the pandemic period. The presentation will begin with a fundamental myth that has had many artistic connotations over the centuries about listening to sound and depths. The understanding that music is one of the oldest languages in terms of ontological perspective, the question of what we hear through sound in sound and music will be discussed; the centrality of music and sound on the somato-psychic plane, the effect of what we hear on the body and mind – also including musical performance experiences – will be conveyed. In this continuation presentation, approaches that interpret early sound experiences such as Maiello (1995), Anzieu (1979) will be briefly touched upon, and more intensively, the approach of Pianist and psychoanalyst Grassi (2021), who sets out that a musical structure is at the basis of unconscious life, and the concept of musical language will be discussed. The structure of music will be discussed through some comparisons with the unconscious psychic functioning. For example, the rhythm between sound, silence and absence are the basic components of psychic functioning as well as music (Grassi, 2021). Finally, the reflections of sound and silence on psychoanalytic listening will be discussed by utilizing the sound expansions in music and poetry.
