Towards a Response-Able Electroacoustic Composition Practice: In Search of Sympoietic Multivalence

This paper proposes a relational model for electroacoustic composition practice. In the model, relationality focuses on perspectives of response-ability composer with more-than-human agents, within an entangled sympoietic musical space. Here, response-practices are built acts listening that entail, aural analysis and embodied practice material objects. Within scope this paper, agents narrowed down to only recorded sounds (fixed media sound files) physical investigating such response-able compositional practices, follows Post-humanist New-materialist strands focusing various concepts proposed by Karen Barad Donna Haraway. And in doing so, it aims re-figure some conventional discourses about poietic agency, multivalence
