Überlegungen und Interviews zum Einsatz von Aufnahmetechnik und zur “Gruppenleistung Tonaufnahme” im Bereich der klassischen Musik

Abstract

This article deals with sound recording in classical music as a group task, in which technicians as well as artists are involved. It describes the main discourses in this process—beginning from the earliest recordings up to now—and focuses (by means of interviews) on how the whole discursive space (diskursiver Raum) could be characterized and how their participants (including the microphones) act and behave in it (Latour). The main idea is to describe how the habitus (Bourdieu; Small) and the discourses ground the sound recording process. In the end, this process is not only one of recording music for a CD, but also one of creating a new work of art.
