(You say my name and I stop being)

"The reproductive memory has and knows the thing in the name and, with the thing, it has and knows the name, without intuition or image"
Hegel. Enzyklopaëdie der philosophischen Wissenschaften im Grundrisse, section 462.

These considerations of Hegel establish the relationship between things and their names. From the invention of the calculation and the Leibniz dyad, the digital and electronic reality with which we live daily was developed.

The philosopher Felix Duque takes Hegel's phrase and adapts it to today's electronic "machines":
"The mechanical (electronic) reason knows and has the image (not the thing) in the digitized formula (not in a name) and with the formula he has and knows the image (thus being able to modify it, register it, archive it and recover it ad libitum) without the need for intuition nor things."

The awareness of this reality led me to a simple formulation: given the current representation characteristics, it is possible to establish an even stronger relationship between the thing and its name.

Currently there is a music player called ipod. Certain types of ipods have a digital chip whose function is called "voice over" and that is that by pressing a button on the device you can hear the name of the song or piece played in the chosen language through the headphones. In this particular apparatus, mechanical reason knows and has music in the formula (digital sound) and digitized name, and at the same time knows and has the words in different languages ??to be able to serve as ad libitum interpreter of the name of each musical piece when tells you.

Using the interpretation characteristics of the "voice over" you can answer the above question. The name of the work may be the work itself.

With all the previous considerations, the series of pieces "You say my name and I stop being" works in the following way: create MP3 files whose sound content is digital silence. No sound will be heard on the ipod until "voice over" is activated. The name of the MP3 file will be a combination of characters chosen compositionally, a digital score that the chip will be responsible for playing.
