Résumé

CHIME 2015 [ Western Intellectual Organization and Far Eastern Cultural Element I Ching in Acousmatic Composition - An Example of Musical and Cultural Analysis ] The contemporary music of Taiwan is a true reflection of this history and we examine the contribution of these multiple and conflicting sources in musical composition. How do composers attempt, respond and evolved their cultural identity in the composition through the construction/deconstruction and encoding/decoding process? and then most often pursued by the discovery of “the beyond” in the West? We will observe the complex path of artistic identity building and appropriation, from disharmony to harmony, in the very personal approach of Taiwanese composer Wang Miao-Wen, the first female electroacoustic and mixed music composer from Taiwan in France. Wang Miao-Wen is an example of an artist who trained in and benefited from the interculturality of East and West. On her path shared between the two cultures, one observes the use of cultural elements in both her theoretical and philosophical compositional process, through the filtration, deconstruction, recomposition, transcription, transmission, and transformation of her Taoist cultural heritage. A fusion of native language with an impressive Western analytical consciousness is constructed throughout her composing. What material and personal methods are used relative to the differences that characterize the two distant cultures? Is she misappropriating Taoist elements or zigzagging on a transcultural path of creation? Where are her starting point and destination? Where is the limit for this merger of cultures in her personal method? For nearly twenty years, Wang Miao-Wen has based her Book of Changes on the general structure of the I Ching. It is rare to see a personal theory become mature and find its balance between Western intellectuality and the spirituality of the Far East. The transculturality of Wang Miao-Wen is a rigorous compositional preparation in the structural and technical context of a purely Western approach whose inspiration unfolds with the help of the philosophical Far East. The image of two cultures is metaphorically represented by water and wind which refer to harmony between man and universe, and a bridge between the West and the East.
