Logicus & Philosophicus
A neutral voice starts reading Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philisophicus
The Tractatus is a particular kind of book with a particular structure. (As you can see in the Tractatus’s map)
Working on it in an acoustic way was our purpose.
The method consisted on recording and adding sentences – starting with the first one – and then adding the second, and the third... in order to obtain first a solo, then duo, then a trio, then a quartet, and so on. Gradually perception becomes more and more difficult and eventually you lose it. Then starts the reverse process, from a multiplicity of voices back to a solo until the last sentence. As it would be logically philosophical to expect.
