Abstract
This thesis is the result of an investigation into rock recordings’ power of endowing listening with a haptic function. It seeks to clarify and reine our ways of thinking, mapping, referring to and studying the sonic details that a haptic way of listening joins with. A haptic sensitivity is close-range and gradual, and a haptic way of listening consists in closely following, feeling and registering bit by bit the textures and reliefs of the sonic materials as they form and deform in their ways of lowing and vibrating. Thus, it contemplates the intricate, variegated and varying traits of the sensuous complexity of the sounds, including both their movement and complexion, as it follows differences that are intrinsic to them, instead of differences that work as formal relations imposed on them; and it encounters the forces that are rendered sonorous in this rich and intensive material heterogeneity, and what is expressed in them.
