Dispersion and Dialogue as a Method

Abstract

This study investigates "dispersion and dialogue as a method" in musical creation, inspired by Ulrich Beck's global-local paradigm. The group "Práticas sonoras de borda" has fostered dialogues among Latin American and Iberian composers, challenging the Eurocentric bias in music education. Inspired by Paulo Freire and Paulo Costa-Lima, this approach emphasizes intuitive, non-hierarchical conversations to reveal new compositional insights. The book "Seminários dispersos em criação musical" documents this methodology, likening "dispersão" to both relaxed focus and seed spreading. This proposal aims to redefine musical perspectives, presenting initial dialogues with five composers and their works, promoting a decolonized, inclusive epistemology in music sound art.
