RESONANT CARTOGRAPHY

The idea of a resonant cartography is not intended as an exercise to represent something (a musical practice) that is exclusively outside itself (cartography), but as a new space of musical experience and practice instead: cartography and navigation are not really opposed perspectives in this context, they are one inscribed within another.

In this resonant navigation and cartography, the latter does not really relate to the former in a logic of representation,

there is no dual distinction between the act of navigating and cartographing between the act of cartographing and its cartographed musical objects.

This means again, that somehow, the process of cartography ought to become resonant itself. or, that the process of cartography will become, a resonant (im)material of the cartography it produces and a part of the musical territory it explores

The idea of resonant cartography is not conceived of as a guiding device either, one whose main purpose is to give references for orientation and control in a pre- determined space or music territory, but quite the opposite: it attempts to incite all bodies involved in this sharing process to lose, at some rate, both their x-y-z coordinates of internal/external organization and their internal/external orientation references, in order to open up the possibility for creating other notions of space, body and music territory (not conceivable in a grid-cartography paradigm).
