„Approaching“

von Arsenije Jovanovic

If metaphor is accepted as a figure of speech commonly used in artistic language from times immemorial, the language of poetry, literature, and not only in literature, why should not it be presented in radio art as well, in a musically-acoustic experiment, in a radiophonic composition? Of course, I don’t refer to  the music broadcasted by radio, as well as the one that came to us from concert stages or from any place outside the radio, I exclusively refer to  music and musically-acoustic radiophonic compositions created only by media. I refer to the acoustic poetry, to that new form of poetry which also brought along with itself metaphor to the area of radio-media. The power and pleasure of a poetic metaphor is the fact that it obliges one to figure out its meaning left by a poet to his reader. Its meanings are polysemantic and multileveled. The ancient and inexhaustible interaction which has been repeated by digital art of today, but in a different form. The title itself, “Approaching”, is a metaphor, just as an artwork in the whole it is. A listener is to make an effort to find out or, to be precise, attribute it his own interpretation. In this way, the composition will be as much his own as it was the author¹s one previously. Having finished the work, the author is obliged to remain silent; his additional explanations would deactivate the imagination of the listener. As paradox as it could be,
it could turn the listener from the right way. Naturally, there is also a risk for the author to be wrongly understood. But could the author truly be wrongly understood? And is it important at all since that it has nothing to do with the secret messages, neither with any of simplified ideology, nor with entertaining story. The point is in free interactive poetry of two authors ­ that one who created the original work, having offered it to everyone and signed it below, and that one, anonymous radio listener, who, on the base of that heard ­ created for himself a new and independent work. It can happen that those two authorial works entirely or partially are compatible, but it must not be the obligation of none of them.
