Abstract
Exhibiting music in a sound community announces the presence and potential of an ecological rationality. Two or more beings co-present to each other in sound resonate at the same frequency with one another and comprise a sound community. Co-presence in sound is intersubjective and relational, a subject-to-subject resonant and reciprocal way of knowing, rather than a subject-to-object, asymmetrical and manipulative knowledge. In a sound community music is communicative, as natural as breathing, participatory and exchanged freely, strengthening and sustaining individuals and communities. A sound community exhibits a sound economy, just, participatory and egalitarian. Wealth and power are widely distributed and shared, and maintained through the visible hand of democratic management. A sound economy is based in a sound ecology where exchanges are based in honest signals that invite reciprocity and trust. In a sound ecology, sound being and sound knowing lead to sound action, which is cooperative, mutually beneficial, and just.
Résumé
Exposer la musique dans une communauté introduit la présence et le potentiel d’une rationalité écologique. Deux êtres ou plus, présents l’un à l’autre dans le son, résonnent à la même fréquence l’un et l’autre et constituent une saine communauté de son. La coprésence sonore est intersubjective et relationnelle, sur le mode du savoir réciproque et évocateur de sujet à sujet, plutôt que sur le mode du savoir manipulateur, asymétrique, de sujet à objet. Dans une saine communauté de son, la musique est communicative, aussi naturelle que le fait de respirer ; elle s’échange librement, elle invite à la participation, elle renforce et nourrit les individus et les communautés. Une saine communauté de son fait preuve d’une économie saine, juste, participative et égalitaire. Richesse et pouvoir sont largement répartis et partagés, et entretenus par la main visible de la gestion démocratique. Une économie saine s’enracine dans une écologie saine où les échanges sont basés sur des signaux honnêtes qui invitent à la réciprocité et à la confiance. Dans une saine écologie de son, l’être sensé et le savoir sûr conduisent à la production intelligente du son, qui est coopérative, mutuellement bénéfique et juste.
