Historical dynamics of musical instruments in the context of the timbral space concept

Summary/Abstract: Historical dynamics of musical instruments in the context of the timbral space concept Musical instruments occupies a peculiar place in the culture – between tools (used to produce sound) and magical artifacts. Our goal is to look at the instruments with interdisciplinary positions, try to identify the inherent logic of development in terms of technology and media philosophy. The tasks that we try to solve in this paper are following: determine the cause of immobility of classic musical instruments, that has not undergone significant changes over the last century; provide periodization of the history of musical instruments with respect to the change of the signification mode and the formation of the Cartesian (critical) subject; detection of the axiological "core" of classical music instruments – a problem that became actual with the advent of electronic sounds and dichotomy "synthetic / natural". Note that our position requires for sources, clearly beyond the musicological discourse (J. Baudrillard, M. Foucault, M. McLuhan, R. Debre, L. Manovych, B. Groys, etc.). One view on immobility of traditional instruments relative to other forms of technology associated with known conservatism of musical culture, which protects its own material basis of too abrupt modifications.
