Musikalische Annäherung an Nichts

Henrique Iwao versucht, winzig kleine Soundfiles zu machen, folgend dem Gedanken Wittgensteins, dass der Tod nicht Teil des Lebens ist, da man ihn nicht mehr lebendig erfährt.

§6.4311, by henrique iwao – october 2014.

1. please check the corresponding ludwig wittgenstein’s tractatus logico-philosophicus topic.
2. is saying that death is not part of life an thus in a sense, saying that life is eternal, a confrontation with the nietzschean doctrine of the eternal recurrence?
3. the instant is not part of the present, since, though infinitesimal, it is already gone – already past. (against §6.4311)
4. since the duration tends to zero, it tries to eliminate the sense of experience the piece would have, trying to become a pure concept.
5. ray brassier said in an article called genre is obsolete that „experience is a myth“..
6. the concept can be experienced, just as death as a concept can.
7. the piece is thus the attempt at building it as the experience of the attempt of erasing the experiential part of itself.
8. it does not exemplifies well the tractatus thought evoked, but rather, is accompanied by it.
