  • Ontmusic11. What is sonicism?

    What is sonicism? Sonicism is the doctrine that equates two instances of sound sequences when they are sonically identical to be exemplars of the same musical work. A major proponent of this doctrine is Julian Dodd who has defended the view on numerous occasions. Here is how Dodd defines it:

    "Sonicism has it that work W = W* if and only if W and W* are sonically indistinguishable.[1]
