The meaning of matter is determined by our interpretations. Even food has its own frequencies, which can be aligned with the specific notes of a musical scale. When presented with a dish we might ask not only “how does it taste?” but also “how does it sound?.” Gastrofonia is defined not as the musical accompaniment to a cooking demonstration, but the actual sound of it: music is made by food. Built upon an experiment initiated by John Cage to try to make music with objects, gastrofonia examines sound as a possible connection among the visual and material arts. Combining music with taste, musician Roy Paci identified a biosonic perception of food. This chapter aims to analyze the case of gastrofonia in light of the increased scientific and artistic interest in food characterizing our contemporary society, that is, an orthorexic society where food has become a specific form of language, a communicative vehicle through which we express our identity, interests, social-ethical choices, and new concepts of art. From a sociosemiotic perspective, the gastrofonic dish is an example of a textual polyphonic discourse combining different languages, related to the five senses in a performance that becomes a form of shared communication.

天麻：音乐和美食的新文化视野

物质的意义是由我们的解释决定的。甚至食物也有自己的频率，可以与音阶的特定音符对齐。当呈现一道菜时，我们可能不仅会问“味道如何？” 还有“听起来怎么样？”。天麻被定义为不是烹饪示范的音乐伴奏，而是它的实际声音：音乐是由食物产生的。基于约翰凯奇发起的尝试用物体制作音乐的实验，天麻将声音视为视觉艺术和材料艺术之间可能存在的联系。音乐家 Roy Paci 将音乐与品味相结合，确定了一种生物声波对食物的认知。本章旨在分析案例天麻鉴于我们当代社会对食品的科学和艺术兴趣日益浓厚，也就是说，矫正在这个社会里，食物已经成为一种特殊的语言形式，一种我们表达身份、兴趣、社会伦理选择和新艺术概念的交流工具。从社会符号学的角度来看，胃酸dish 是结合不同语言的文本复调话语的一个例子，与表演中的五种感官相关，成为一种共享交流的形式。
