Fictional Musical Identities are intentionally constructed artistic personas created to express sound, culture, or emotion without linking the work to a real individual.
These identities are not disguises. They are creative vessels, designed to protect artistic clarity, cultural respect, and conceptual coherence.
Purpose
Fictional identities serve to:
-
avoid repetition of real-world names
-
separate personal identity from artistic function
-
allow cultural or linguistic embodiment
-
maintain symbolic consistency
They enable music to exist as presence, not biography.
Artistic Integrity
By removing the need for personal attribution, fictional identities:
-
eliminate unnecessary exposure
-
reduce external interpretation
-
preserve focus on sound and meaning
The identity exists only as long as its function remains relevant.
Linguistic and Cultural Use
Many fictional identities are tied to:
-
specific languages
-
cultural resonance
-
vocal timbre
-
symbolic roles
Once their purpose is fulfilled, they may be Closed and documented rather than expanded.
Documentation and Closure
A fictional identity may be:
-
active
-
experimental
-
closed and documented
Closure is an intentional act that preserves the identity as a completed expression.
