Abstract:
Transmissions require the encoding, communication and
decoding of meaningful information across some medium or
other. Historically, both the artist and the scientist have tended
to treat physical space (and the sound wave in particular) as
the medium by which music and sound are transmitted. This
paper argues against this conception of the sonic medium and
presents an alternative model in which embodied human
cognition is treated as the sonic medium. This offers a fuller
and more accurate portrait of both transmissions and drift. It
allows for the exploitation of the embodied cognitive medium
to support the encoding, communication, and decoding of
meaningful information to an extent that the physical medium
alone does not. It also allows for a transmission to undergo
radical drift within the contexts of fashion, genre and cultural
situation while retaining its original embodied meaning.
