Causality, a concept closely related to that of Gesture, is central to Denis Smalley's spectromorphological thinking. Smalley writes: "Causality, actual or surmised, is related not only to the physical intervention of breath, hand, or fingers, but also to natural and engineered events, visual analogues, psychological experiences felt or mediated through language and paralanguage, indeed any occurrence which seems to provoke a consequence, or consequence which seems to have been provoked by an occurrence". Causality is of particular relevance to Acoustmatic listening situations. (Source - Denis Smalley (1986). Spectro-morphology and Structuring Processes, in Simon Emmerson, ed. The Language of Electroacoustic Music. Basingstoke: Macmillan.)

Le concept de causalité, étroitement lié à celui du geste, est central dans la théorie de la spectromorphologie de Denis Smalley. Il écrit : « La causalité, réelle ou présumée, n'est pas seulement reliée à l'intervention physique du souffle, de la main ou des doigts, mais elle peut également être associée aux événements mécaniques ou naturels, aux analogies visuelles, aux expériences de psychologie sensorielle ou médiatisée à travers le langage et le paralangage, à n'importe quelle occurrence qui semble provoquer une conséquence, ou n'importe quelle conséquence qui semble avoir été provoquée par une occurrence ». La causalité est particulièrement importante dans les situations d'écoute acousmatique. (Source - Denis Smalley (1986). "Spectro-morphology and Structuring Processes", in Simon Emmerson, ed. The Language of Electroacoustic Music. Basingstoke: Macmillan.)

Concetto strettamente legato a quello di Gesto. Ha un posto fondamentale nella teoria della spetromorfologia di Denis Smalley. Smalley scrive: “la causalità, reale o presunta, non è legata solamente all'intervento fisico del soffio, della mano o delle dita, ma può ugualmente essere associata agli avvenimenti meccanici o naturali, alle analogie visuali, alle esperienze psicologiche esperite o mediate dal linguaggio e dal paralinguaggio, in qualsiasi occorrenza che sembri provocare una conseguenza, o in qualsiasi conseguenza che sembri essere stata provocata da un'occorrenza”. La causalità è particolarmente importante della situazione dell'ascolto acusmatico. (Fonte - Denis Smalley (1986). Spectro-morphology and Structuring Processes, in Simon Emmerson, ed.

Causalidad, un concepto cercano al de Gesto, es central en el pensamiento espectromorfológico de Denis Smalley. Smalley escribe: "La causalidad, real o ficticia, está relacionada no solo con la intervención física de la respiración, la mano o los dedos, sino además con los eventos naturales o propios de la tecnología, analogías visuales, experiencias psicológicas percibidas o mediadas a través del lenguaje y el paralenguaje, en verdad, cualquier hecho que parece provocar una consecuencia, o una consecuencia que parece haber sido provocada por un hecho". La Causalidad es de particular relavancia para las situaciones de escucha Acusmáticas.
