The Logic of Sensation and Fantasy as a Step of Art Creation Through Practice-Based Research

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify a stage of art creation, especially composition, where the sensations and fantasies of a composer can be understood in detail based on logic of sensation (Deleuze) and fantasy (Freud). Every work of art produced is not just a sensation or a fantasy of the artist put into the work. However, that process has its logic. Sensations and fantasies in the creation of art work are highly essential and may continue to occur until the artwork is produced. In this study the author implemented practice-based research where experience and work become the basis of a study with various approaches: literature study, content analysis, musicology, philosophy, experimental, and several things that corroborate practice-based research. The result of this study is a method of art creation with several stages that need to be done, even already done by a creator; aesthetic experience, body rhythm, chaos, fantasy, and force. These five stages are at least an interesting reference in the process of artwork and reveal that our logic of sensations and fantasies can work properly. The implications of these results can be used in any area of the art, so that the creator is aware of the working steps of the perceived sensations. This study can be applied in the process of creating and can be discussed in the process of work creation. As a result, it can be used as a reference by art creators.
