The chapter 'Between Sound and Vision: Low and Sense' considers how we experience Low and how the sense we make of it is haunted by the historical tripartition of composer / performer / listener, figures which territorialize and marshal music. In the artwork to Low, this hierarchy has collapsed into the virtual figure of Bowie-Newton, a superimposed spectre which threatens both to materialize each discreet monadic position and dissolve them into a nomadic force, one that’s visuality confounds the ‘listening ear’, that legacy of music training and writing. To subvert these figures and uproot the essentialist representational doxa on which they depend, Bowie’s ear becomes a shell from a strange beach: we place it to our ears to be invited inside-out, to become as a sound-body assemblage.
