New Music as a mother tongue...
Mother tongue is the language you learn first in order to be able to communicate with your closest relatives.
"Music has been a natural element for me since my earliest childhood," recalled Pablo Casals, "an activity as natural as breathing. I sang before I could speak clearly. Thanks to my father, I learned to understand sounds and words equally.” This is how music can become a mother tongue.
But how about contemporary music?
Many listeners perceive contemporary music as completely alien. Like a “foreign language” and not like a “mother tongue”. At best, some say “Unfortunately I didn't understand anything”. Contemporary music can even summon anger or be made fun of.
How do you bring contemporary music closer to people so that they feel more "at home" while listening? Is the composer of new music able to communicate with the audience about his or her work? The question is posed: what is required? Maybe a young child growing up in a contemporary music mother tongue?
For this child, all common noises, sounds and urban rhythms are meaningful both in terms of content and on an emotional level. They convey feelings, thoughts and images. He perceives his (musical) surroundings completely freely. Without prejudice, with curiosity, playfully. Everything is explored, examined, touched, listened to without ulterior motives. Predetermined patterns no longer play a role.
Many adults, on the other hand, are biased by their expectations and their assumed experiences. Sometimes this prevents one from embarking on something new. The word “new” in New Music, however, suggests this. The listener embarks on a journey of discovery without the goal in sight: let himself be surprised without prejudice, cheerful surrender.
The true means of communication, language is dead, isn't it? Or can such music itself be a partner in conversation? Perhaps we adults can become children again while listening to new music?
