Abstract
This paper discusses the function of listening in intercultural musical collaboration, with reference to a number of examples taken from the author’s practice, within the Vietnamese/Swedish group The Six Tones. Through the lens of Pierre Schaeffer’s concepts of musical and musicianly listening, the paper suggests that intercultural exchange takes place in a liminal field between traditions. This demands a particular openness which can be developed by operating musicianly listening, a form of listening which actively seeks to “innovate in the facture of sound objects.”

Résumé
Cet article aborde la fonction de l’écoute en contexte de collaboration musicale interculturelle, en faisant référence à un certain nombre d’exemples tirés de l’expérience de l’auteur au sein du groupe vietnamien/suédois The Six Tones. À travers les concepts d’écoute de Pierre Schaeffer, l’article suggère que l’échange culturel prenne place dans un champ liminal, entre les traditions. Cette approche requiert une ouverture particulière qui peut se développer à travers une écoute musicienne, une forme d’écoute qui cherche activement à « innover dans la facture des objets sonores. »
