Abstract:
Making music together relies, among other things, on the mutual
hearing amongst co-performers and on the visual monitoring of
each other’s actions and gestures. This is better facilitated when
musicians share a mutual visual space where hearing and seeing
play a primary role. However, drawing from workplace studies,
linguistic anthropology, anthropology of the senses and multimo dal interactional studies of sensoriality, we observed how mutual
visibility was (tacitly) more important for coordination among musi cians than they themselves were willing to admit. Thanks to the
video recording of trio rehearsals, by experimentally suspending
the sense of hearing, often regarded as a predominant sense in the
playing of a musical instrument and to make music together, we
realized that mutual visibility not only enables musicians to notice
pertinent/relevant visual cues and professional gestures, but also to
make sound visible and then audible, activating what we call visual
hearing, a specific hybrid sense, that we captured in action.
