Full text'mixed music' describes a form of music which combines an instrumental and or vocal score with pre-set taped sounds. It first appeared in the early 1950's and led to an enormous amount of experimental work by individual composers (alvarez, harvey, holler, mache, malec, nono, risset, stockhausen, stroppa, vaggione, vinao. . . ), with the application of recent technological advances to music, different types of musical production have merged into the concept of 'contemporary music'. We can now look at the development of mixed music by dividing it into three categories 'lives electronic music'. Real-time's electronic music and mixed music. A study of the mixed music repertoire shows a style of composition evolving gradually round the concept of fusing and opposing the two worlds of instrumental and elctronic music. Together they form an aesthetic entity, while creating an impression of double, hybrid, illusion and ambiguity. . . Plan : history, aesthetics and repertoire of mixed music

Full textThe subject of our study is multiphony in acousmatic music (or concrete/electroacoustic music). We draw up a panorama of questions linked to multi-channels works in their historical context. We emphasized repercussions of technological evolutions on composition of multi-channels works, draw up an inventory of places with equipment for multiphonic creation and diffusion and asked the question on multiplicity of formats. With multiphony, the composer can compose space. In defining writing in acousmatic music, and writing space, we established typologies for loudspeakers equipment, spaces and spatial figures. After the presentation of existing tools for analysis, we defined our approach of analysis, a study of the work itself, and our tools. The study of works of K. Stockhausen, C. Zanési, F. Donato et J. -M. Duchenne revealed different spatial conceptions, complexes space writings and several functions of different natures given to space

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to understand how Luc Ferrari builds the heterogeneity of his music. The composer conceives creation as a space in which, according to his words, ideas that do not “necessarily have links between them” meet each other. Pieces then become a space of cohabitation, of friction, in which other components share space with "music", in the narrow sense. The propositions “place, story and experiences” are attempts to characterize these others components that constitute the heterogeneous of Ferrari’s music. In the first part, "music and place," we see how pieces become, at times, places. Real spaces, externals, in relation to a lived experience. In this part we will analyse Hétérozygote. In the second part, "music and story", we study the importance that composer give to the narrative in his work, starting from the sons anecdotiques to the general evolution of scenarios. With the analysis of Far-West News, we measure how Luc Ferrari’s works rely as much on musicals forms as on the development of stories. Finally, with the third part, "music and experiences", we want to refer to a confluence of experiences: the anecdote of the composer resonates in the experience of the listeners, who dump their experiences into the pieces. Through the expression of his experience, Luc Ferrari calls and works with these subjective experiences of listeners, who will also share the spaces of works. To explain this idea, we will analyse Chantal, ou le portrait d’une villageoise

Full textThe aesthetic basis of acousmatic music is presented from the writings and works by French composer François Bayle (Tamatave, 1932-). Acousmatic music deals with three of the main issues that guided composers in the 20th century: timbre, space and listening. Bayle is inspired by the concept of sound flow developed from Husserl’s analysis upon time. The specific nature of his music is in the concept of “image-of-sound” that is defined by the icon, index and symbol, which represent a progression from concrete to abstract. Morphology creation, temporal evolution and sound spatiality lead our critical study of Bayle’s works. An interactive process between the concrete or figurative world of recorded sounds and the abstract or virtual world of electronic sounds characterizes the acousmatic music morphology. We demonstrate that time organization in Bayle’s works is essential for a good comprehension of acousmatic music, and we divide it in three ways: discrete time, time based on independent moments, and circular time. On another hand the performance, which spatially distributes sound material during the concert, enhance the perceptive experience. It is a subjective space and not a constructed one, in which the listener is a resonant subject with the space surrounding him. Finally, we analyze Substance du signe (1971) and Grande Polyphonie (1974) with the help of the theoretical tools we developed previously

Full textIn 1989, after ten years of research, François Delalande presented for the first time the idea of “listening behaviours,” distinguishing several ways to listen to the same piece of music. The methodology did not allow for many conclusions, but the approach began a new field of research, where diverse listening behaviours could serve as a basis for diverse, exclusive (or even contradictory) analyses of the same work. Furthermore, Delalande’s preliminary research based on an extract from Pierre Henry’s music is still one of the few instances of research about acousmatic music listening that addresses actual listeners. The last twenty years have seen the reproduction and extension of Delalande’s results, as well as a growing interest for listening in musicological circles. For this reason, it seems necessary to review research about listening behaviours to evaluate their operational validity and to propose a robust theoretical framework for their study and description. This is the thesis of this dissertation, beginning with a review of the musicological, psychological and pedagogical discourses about listening, following with a critical study of existing methodologies about listening behaviours frameworks in order to re-evaluate them with more robust methodologies. Three esthesic analyses of the same work are then used to propose a need for further investigation and possible applications of the framework

Full textOriginating in radio at the beginning of the 1940's, the GRM was officially launched in 1958 by Radio Television Française. The first part of this research reconstructs the history, starting with the most visible manifestations: opuses, publications, technological developments. The research traces also the elaboration of new concepts and evolution of the movement. Beginning with 1948, the official birth date of the Concrete Music, the chronology is divided into seven chapters, one for each decade. The first chapter, however, moves back in time, delineating the roots of Concrete Music by recounting the events that preceded 1948 and eventually led to the dadaism and surrealism of the twentieth century. The second part of the research traces the themes of the GRM history. The first chapter identifies the emergence of this new musical genre and its slow progression from the Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrete of the Paris Studio to its role as a musical School in 1951. The second chapter examines the concepts (reduced listening, sound object, typomorphological analysis. . . ). It traces the pedagogy and the tools (from the first phonogènes to the final software called GRM-Tools and Acousmographe) developed in the last fifty years. The third chapter studies the problems of space, concert presentation and connection with the audience. The fourth chapter explores the boundary between the Musical and the Visual, across the question of writing, a major issue in all the media arts today

Full textOur research presents some ideas about composing musical spaces. This study includes the intentional use of the perceived sound qualities in sound construction, and, by the consequence, in musical composition. Our research is in the intersection between the sound as a physical phenomenon, the spatial sensations created by the auditory perception of some sound proprieties, and the musical composition of sound spaces. We develop the idea of a sound entity that we can compose from its microstructure to the macrostructure. We conceive it by means of an analogical thinking about the tangible world objects and the auditory sound sensations. We consider the ideas of volume, form and matter, positions and movements of the material objects. We used these ideas as metaphor to conceive sound entities integrated into and musical composed spaces. The conception of the sound entity as a group of heteroclite elements ; il make possible the conception of operational networks. The composer can use these networks for sound manipulations in his compositional work

Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL100.
Full textThe current research is a comparative study investigating the development of creative and technological approaches at GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales) and EMS (Elektronmusikstudion) from 1965 to 1980. The thesis examines the main interactions between two pioneers of electroacoustic music in France and in Sweden, namely, Pierre Schaeffer and Knut Wiggen and the evolution of artistic directions within their institutions. The comparative method borrows two main perspectives from linguistics, such as diachronic and synchronic. To this direction, the first part of the thesis evaluates a sort of historical synthesis of musical genres, which lead the artistic directions of those two studios, including their institutional organization, musical creation, technological research as well as Schaeffer’s and Wiggen’s musical concepts. The second part of the thesis focuses on pioneer works analysis in order to explore closely compositional ideas and the problem of acousmatic music analysis. The analysis method is based on Jean Molino’s tripartite theory developed by J.J. Nattiez (poietic/neutral/esthesic level of an art work) and Stéphane Roy, which contributes to analyze the compositional structure, organization and the composer’s style related to technological equipment of the studios. The first step of music analysis reconstructs a sort of transcription within the neutral level analysis by means of Lasse Thoresen’s graphical symbols inspired by Schaeffers’s typo-morphology. The second step seeks to confront the neutral level results with external poietic information in order to explore and to compare some hypothetical significations of analyzed musical pieces. In conclusion, the end goal is to determine a methodology inspired by the tripartite theory for an in-depth understanding of acousmatic music analysis and to establish a historical documentation on French and Swedish electroacoustic music within the development of technology
Nadrigny, Pauline. "Le concept d'objet sonore : le problème de la perception dans la recherche musicale schaefferienne." Thesis, Paris 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA010655.
Full textThis doctoral dissertation focuses on the concept of sound object, coined by the founder of the “musique concrète” aesthetic movement Pierre Schaeffer – who wrote several essays dedicated to the perception of sound within a musical perspective. In studying the genealogy of this concept which has become very popular in contemporary music, we first wish to show how the reunion of varied theoretical models helps to build an original aesthetic reflection – natural science, linguistics, and above all the philosophy of contemporary perception (phenomenology, structuralism and Gestalt theory). Indeed, the concept of sound object is the result of both technical gestures – recording and manipulation of the recorded sound, acousmatic situation – and intellectual and radical moves such as the absence of reference to the context of sound production, the refusal to use the theoretical frame of acoustic physics (thus enabling the morphological description of the sound phenomenon to take precedence over the explanation of such phenomenon), the general study of our listening functions (acoulogy). Such perception of the sound “for itself” is to be viewed as the application of the phenomenological epoché to the listening activity (reduced listening), and leads us to consider the ambiguous relationships between a particular musical aesthetics and the philosophy of perception required to analyse its object. More generally, our study thus intends to describe the role played by a certain philosophy of perception in the appearance of a plastic perception of the sound phenomenon, though such phenomenon initially resists objectification

Full textEst-ce qu'il est possible d'organiser le discours musical acousmatique de la même manière que le cinéma structure les images animées? Telle est la question qui résume l'essentiel de mon projet de recherche: Du langage cinématographique à la musique acousmatique : Écritures et structures. À la suite d’une étude exhaustive des procédés d'écriture nécessaires à la réalisation d'une œuvre cinématographique, j'ai cherché à établir des relations d'équivalence avec chacune des étapes relatives à l'élaboration d'une œuvre électroacoustique. De la captation des sons au cours du tournage sonore en passant par les étapes de classification, de traitement, de mixage, de montage jusqu'à la diffusion en salle de l'œuvre achevée, chaque étape du lexique visuel offre des arrimages concrets et structurellement pertinents à la conception d'une œuvre musicale. Cette typologie des techniques communes de réalisation entre ces deux médias débouche sur une pratique réaliste et concrète puis permet le renouvèlement d'une démarche compositionnelle par l'ajout d'outils techniques et conceptuels. Les résultats de cette recherche se sont matérialisés sous la forme de trois œuvres acousmatiques. Chacune d'elles, par le contexte de leur genèse, explorent des paramètres spécifiques de cette grammaire initialement visuelle.
Is it possible to organize the electroacoustic musical form in the same way as the cinema structures its moving pictures? Such is the question which summarizes the main part of my project of research: Du langage cinématographique à la musique acousmatique : Écritures et structures (the film language in the acousmatic music: writings and structures). Further to an exhaustive study of the processes of the realization of a film work, I tried to establish relations of equivalences with each of the relative step to the elaboration of an electroacoustic work. Of recording of sounds by the "sound-shootings" by way of the classification, treatment, mixing, editing until the performance at the concert of the finished work, every stage of the visual lexicon offers concrete and structurally relevant stowages to the conception of a musical work. This typology of the common techniques of realization between these two similar medias in a realistic and concrete practice then allows trying something new in a composition musical approach by the addition of technical and abstract tools. The results of this research are realized by the composition of three electroacoustic works. Each of them, by the context of their genesis, investigate specific parameters of this initially visual grammar.

Full textThis thesis explains the creative process behind the “acousmatic documentary” Littorale, a musical work with informative perspectives, which primarily makes use of on-site sound recordings, sound archives and the testimonies of seven informers. Aiming to establish links between the two media practices consisting of documentary and acousmatic music, the work investigates the story behind an impressive repertory of folksongs collected by ethnologist Marius Barbeau in 1918, within a small population of fishermen in Sainte-Anne- des-Monts and Tourelle, two remote villages on the north shore of the Gaspésie peninsula. The composing process is thus divided into three distinct yet interrelated steps: shedding light onto existing but underused links between documentary practices and acousmatic music, investigating the repertory of folksongs and its contemporary rediscovery by the local people, which reveals underlying identity concerns, as well as the composing itself of the three musical movements of Littorale. Through investigating the aforementioned identity concerns and shedding new light on some historical misconceptions, this alloy of two media practices aims to approach acousmatic composition in a way that is both informative and socially relevant.

Full textMa pratique artistique se divise en deux volets : la composition de musique acousmatique et la peinture abstraite. Loin d'être distinctes, ces deux pratiques se recoupent en plusieurs points et sont très complémentaires l'une à l'autre. En effet, il m’apparaît clairement que la façon d'aborder la création dans l'un et l'autre peut revêtir certaines similitudes. En d'autres termes, que je compose une pièce ou que je peigne une toile, le résultat que je cherche à obtenir en ce qui concerne l’organisation de la matière est le même dans les deux cas. La présente recherche propose donc une nouvelle approche de composition en musique acousmatique basée sur les techniques et concepts employés en art visuel, et plus particulièrement en peinture. À travers la réalisation d’une série de courtes pièces, j’expérimente sur les possibilités qu’offre la démarche de composition proposée.
My artistic practice can be divided in two paths: acousmatic music composition and abstract painting. Far from independent, these two practices meet on many aspects and can be perceived in a very complimentary manner. It becomes clear that the way in which I approach the mechanisms of the creative process in both practices is in fact quite similar. When painting or composing, I’ve come to realize that the result I strive for is in terms of structure and in terms of how I attempt to organize both the sound events in my compositions and the plastic materials I use on canvas. This text presents a potentially new approach to acousmatic composition derived from the techniques and concepts found in modern visual arts, more specifically non-figurative painting. In order to illustrate these ideas, I’ve composed a series of short composition studies that attempt to experiment the suggested methods and techniques.

Ces recherches furent réalisées au cours d’une maîtrise en composition à la Faculté de musique de l’Université de Montréal. Un survol historique des compositions ayant l’espace comme paramètre principal de composition permettra de me situer dans cette pratique artistique. J’aborderai aussi les différentes propositions de spatialisation ainsi que les principaux lieux dédiés à cette activité, de ses débuts jusqu’à nos jours. Il sera également question de l’importance de l’écriture spatiale dans mon travail de création. Ensuite, je mettrai en contexte mon cheminement musical et mon intérêt constant pour la spatialisation en musique. Je démontrerai que grâce à l’accès à des technologies puissantes, simples et efficaces, nous sommes en mesure d’intégrer la spatialisation des sons en musique électroacoustique aussi bien en amont qu’en aval de la création. Plusieurs techniques et outils permettent l’écriture des sons dans l’espace. J’examinerai donc comment mon approche compositionnelle et ma méthodologie de travail les intègrent lors du processus de création. Je poursuivrai avec l’analyse des œuvres que j’ai composées durant ma maîtrise. J’exposerai les faits saillants de mes recherches. Finalement, je livrerai les réflexions qu’a suscitées mon projet de recherche.
This thesis is about the integration of spatialization in acousmatic music as well as its performance in concert. These researches were conducted during a Music Master in Composition at the Faculté de musique de l’Université de Montréal. A historical overview of compositions with spatial considerations as main musical parameter will allow to situate my work within this artistic practice. Different implementations and propositions of spatialization that have been used (as well as the principal locations dedicated to this form of activity) from the beginning to this day will be discussed. I will then put the emphasis on spatial writing in my creative works. Furthermore, I will contextualize my musical background and of my constant interest in musical spatialization. I will demonstrate that, with better access to powerful, yet simple and efficient technologies, spatialization in electroacoustic music can be integrated before and after the creative process. A wide array of techniques and tools can provide methods for spatial writing, thus I will examine how the compositional approach of my work’s methodologies incorporates these during the creative process. I will conclude with the analysis of the work composed during my MM, which will also reiterate the highlights of this research. Finally, I will give my very own reflections and observations on this project.

Full textOver the course of my Masters and in my musical practice at large, mixing and mastering have been the two most prominent compositional techniques featured in my electroacoustic pieces. Composing these electroacoustic pieces served as the framework for a practical research on my use of mixing and mastering, a project which also included documentational research on their implementation in acousmatic music. The research revealed that only a small number of composers and pedagogues had written about this topic, mostly because there is no prescribed vision or standard regarding the implementation of these techniques in acousmatic. Most of the substantial sources of information regarding mixing and mastering can be found in the realm of commercial audio production. Thus, I was inspired by the means of production used for the sound design in movies and pop music. By showing how this research has inspired my own electroacoustic compositions, I wish to fill an informational void on the subject of mixing and mastering in acousmatic music and to offer a fresh perspective to composers who are interested in these practices.

This research-creation explored the creative and aesthetic challenges of merging two compositional approaches (mixed and electroacoustic), as well as the change of medium (from fixed support to performance). Based on theories of analysis and writing of electroacoustic music (Schaeffer, Roy, Vande Gorne) and mixed music (Dall'Ara-Majek, Doneux) - four works have been composed (Éclats | Violet, Imaginary Landscape, Éclats | Noir and interference patterns) providing practical lighting for these composition tools. The writing of scores for electronic instruments or devices is also approached from examples and articles on the subject.

Une introduction précise d’abord mon parcours musical et mes sources d’inspiration en plus de décrire les origines et les objectifs de mon projet. Le premier chapitre présente le contexte de création des quatre œuvres qui composent mon corpus. De velours et d’acier est une pièce acousmatique inspirée de la musique métal qui s’organise autour de matériaux sonores référentiels. Un pied dans ma poubelle est une pièce musicale mixte composée expressément pour l'ensemble de jazz contemporain [iks]. Sa composition a grandement fait évoluer ma conception de l’improvisation. La pièce Enfant Robot au cœur fondant est une recherche sur l’intégration des composantes électroacoustique et instrumentale dans une même musique. Druckabfall est une musique acousmatique qui a vu le jour suite à une collaboration théâtrale. Un deuxième chapitre offre une discussion sur la musique mixte et ses implications dans le processus créatif. Un ultime chapitre aborde de façon critique mon corpus en plus d’en extraire certaines préoccupations. Je propose alors une méthodologie de composition en plus de discuter de l’improvisation et de la collaboration comme moyens de développer mon processus créatif. Cette discussion d’ordre esthétique me permet d'établir des perspectives d’avenir pour ma création musicale.
This Master's thesis presents four musical works composed whilst researching numeric music. The description of their context of creation and their analysis indicate a methodological approach inspired by improvisation, collaboration and interpretation of music. First, an introduction describes my musical background and sources of inspiration in addition to describing the origins and objectives of my project. The first chapter presents the context, within which the four musical works were created. De velours et d’acier is an acousmatic work inspired by metal music. It is organized around a set of referential sounds. Un pied dans ma poubelle is a mixed music work composed specifically for the contemporary jazz band [iks]. My understanding of improvisation has greatly evolved with the composition of this work. The piece called Enfant Robot au cœur fondant was made during my research for integrating electroacoustic and instrumental components within a united music. Druckabfall is an acousmatic work born after a collaboration within the world of theater. The second chapter provides a discussion on mixed music and its implications in the creative process. The final chapter looks critically across my corpus to extract some aesthetic concerns. I then propose a methodology of composition and discuss the improvisation and collaboration as means to develop my creative process. This discussion allows me to enunciate my future musical pratices.

Invested in both a southern (St. Lawrence) and northern (hivernity) axis, this approach to Quebec’s territory, it’s space, and it’s density, is applied to the acousmatic corpus through the use of concepts theoretical established by several figures from Quebec and beyond. The inspirations of my acousmatic works proposed cycle, being mainly from extra-musical spheres – the process of various Quebec’s artists and researchers have contributed to the emergence of my poetic corpus such as Pierre Perrault, René Derouin, Daniel Chartier and Louis-Edmond Hamelin – is underlined. The musical side of the territory conception is performed analytically using two methods proper to the electroacoustic genre – the typology of Pierre Schaeffer, and the functional analysis of Stéphane Roy –, that, through the work of some international composers of electronic music, serve to highlight the plurality and the universal semantics network of the territory, giving way to a broader reading of this theme. Finally, the proposed methodology identify the universal – natural model, psychoacoustic references –, the local - use of Quebec’s poetry, animals or specific anecdotal references such as bird calls and sounds taken from the Saint Lawrence –, and the dichotomous relationship between nature and culture in my work, to build a coherent musical discourse based on the territory of Quebec.

Full textThe immersive sound experience is often associated with sound spatialization. But the immersive phenomenon is rather complex and reducing it to the sole usage of a technical device does a disservice to our appreciation of its multiple causes in terms of a work’s reception. This memoir presents a research-creation project, entitled Cathédrales, that aims to better understand the reception of an intentionally immersive 3Dspatialized acousmatic music. This work focuses on the adopted compositional strategies and their effects, with regard to initial intentions and the analysis of comments made by listener participants. The first three chapters present the concepts underlying the creative process for the works Ville Aux Cent Clochers ("City of a hundred bell towers") and Réverbérence ("Reverberence"). The first chapter clarifies the meaning of sound immersion from the outset, from its more general understanding to its more specific meanings; the second chapter then presents immersion under the scope of a natural narratology of music; while the third chapter integrates such narrative approach within the language of a "cinema for the ear", while adapting it to the multidirectional context of the sound diffusion medium. In the fourth chapter are presented the two parts composing Cathédrales ("Cathedrals") : I. Ville Aux Cent Clochers and II. Réverbérence. After introducing the concept of the work as a whole, the intentions and strategies that are more specific to each part of the work are then exposed. Finally, the fifth chapter presents the results of two case studies on the reception behaviors of multiple participants listening to spatialized music over a loudspeakers dome. Aesthesic analysis arising from these surveys allows to provide different conceptual categories of the immersive sound experience. Such categorization may eventually serve to schematize the effects of certain compositional strategies, in combination with the usage of a particular technological device, on the reception of 3D spatialized music.

Villusions est un projet acousmatique qui puise sa source dans l’analyse introspective de cette complexe relation, plus précisément entre les sons du quotidien et l’oreille curieuse d’un voyageur éternel. Les parties les plus intimement liées à mes expériences personnelles de la ville de Montréal et ses banlieues représentent donc le théâtre de cette exploration assidue; les illusions correspondent à trois pièces acousmatiques inspirées par ce contexte de réciprocité. Dans l’ensemble des œuvres présentées, les moments musicaux s’alternent, s’intègrent et se confondent aux éléments sonores naturels qui en constituent souvent la racine génératrice. Ces matériaux ont été développés suivant trois axes principaux : d’abord l’axe des mouvements, associés aux moyens de transport et aux centres névralgiques à travers lesquels se répandent les impulsions de la ville; ensuite l’axe des voix qui témoigne de sa multiethnicité, de sa lymphe vitale; finalement, l’axe de l’alternance des saisons comme prétexte sonore lié au contexte temporel. Des sources sonores instrumentales, dérivées des tablâ et de la harpe, trouvent également leur place dans le projet, en lui donnant une empreinte à la fois rythmique et harmonique. La composante spatiale doit être considérée comme un élément incontournable du discours musical de Villusions. Sa construction octophonique porte sur l’équilibre, délicat et illusoirement immersif, généré par des trajectoires dessinées sur la même ligne temporelle que celle des évènements musicaux, suivant des stratégies intégrées directement dans le processus compositionnel.
This musical research is based on the theory of interaction between the environment and our sound perception. Villusions is an acousmatic project that emerged from the introspective analysis of this complex relationship, in particular between daily sounds and the curious ear of an eternal traveller. Thus, the parts most closely related to my personal experiences in the city (“ville”) of Montréal and its suburbs are where this diligent exploration took place; the illusions are three acousmatic pieces inspired by this context of reciprocity. In the works presented, musical moments alternate, integrate with each other, and merge with the natural sound elements that often constitute the originating roots. This material was developed with three main focuses: firstly, movement, associated with modes of transportation and the nerve centres through which beats the city’s pulse; secondly, the voices that express its multi ethnicity, its vital lymph; and, lastly, the changing of the seasons as an acoustic proxy related to the temporal context. Instrumental sound sources, derived from the tablâ and the harp, are also used in the project, lending both a rhythmic and a harmonic feel. The spatial component should be seen as an essential element of the musical discourse of Villusions. Its octophonic construction features the delicate and deceptively immersive balance created by trajectories drawn on the same timeline as those of the musical events, using techniques directly integrated into the compositional process.

Full text“Mixed-method thinking” is an approach to composition characterized by the interaction of three streams of compositional thought: instrumental, electroacoustic and computing-based. It takes the form of a network within which the composer goes back and forth between these three types of conceptualization and succeeds in finding equivalences between parameters. Instrumental thinking is connected to the Western notated compositional tradition, electroacoustic thinking alludes to practices derived from the analog studio environment and the acousmatic music tradition, and computing-based thinking refers to visual programming and spectral analysis practices. Common areas exist where all three forms of thinking interact: Ivo Malec’s notion of the instrumental studio, Helmut Lachenmann’s notion of musique concrète instrumentale, computer-assisted composition, spectral music, the montage approach to instrumental composition, acousmatic music inspired by the written musical tradition and genres combining instruments with fixed media or electronics. These areas comprise the influences around which I composed a corpus of two cycles of works: Les Larmes du Scaphandre and Nano-Cosmos. Analysis of these works demonstrates the notion of “mixed-method thinking” through the adoption of electroacoustic thinking in my instrumental composition practice, computational thinking in my musical practice, and instrumental thinking in my electroacoustic practice.

Full textLa présente thèse explore les relations esthétiques entre la poésie et la musique. Elle examine les éléments qui unissent et qui différencient les deux formes d’art, en mettant l’accent sur les caractéristiques que la poésie contemporaine et la musique électroacoustique ont en commun. Pour tenter d’expliquer la façon dont les caractéristiques de la poésie peuvent servir d’outil de composition musicale, ce document s’appuie sur des recherches récentes et plus anciennes concernant la musique et le récit, l’esthétique des musiques électroacoustiques, la psychoacoustique, la poétique, la sémiologie, la linguistique ainsi que l’histoire de la poésie et de la musique. Cette approche globale présente une analogie entre le son environnemental et le mot poétique, communicateur d’image, de sentiment et d’histoire qui, lorsque recontextualisé en musique, peut à la fois transmettre et provoquer des émotions. En effet, dans la musique électroacoustique, le son environnemental peut détailler de manière explicite les caractéristiques d’un espace acoustique réel; cependant, grâce à la transformation créée par le traitement du signal, le son peut également passer du côté abstrait. Ce mouvement entre les sons perçus comme réels et ceux perçus comme abstraits se compare à celui observé dans la poésie contemporaine. Les deux formes d’art peuvent également exprimer un sens littéral et symbolique. La présente thèse cherche à définir la façon dont ces éléments communs, entre autres, permettent de surmonter les obstacles intercommunicationnels naturellement entraînés par les différences syntaxiques entre la poésie et la musique afin de permettre une interprétation associative de la poésie en musique. La thèse se termine par l’analyse musicale de quatre compositions, dont trois ont été créées grâce au soutien du Conseil des arts du Canada. Ces trois pièces, qui forment le noyau de mon doctorat, exemplifient la musique inspirée par la poésie et composée à partir d’enregistrements de sons environnementaux. Trois œuvres des poètes canadiens John Steffler, Don Domanski et Marilyn Dumont évoquent les différentes régions du Canada d’où les enregistrements sont tirés. Ces poèmes, variés sur le plan esthétique, utilisent un langage distinct pour décrire la diversité de l’écologie canadienne moderne. Le contenu de chaque poème, de concert avec mon propre souvenir empirique des environnements qui font l’objet des enregistrements, est la source d’inspiration principale de la musique. La quatrième pièce utilise également la poésie comme base de la composition; il s’agit toutefois d’une œuvre antérieure, moins axée sur l’exploitation du potentiel de l’enregistrement de sons environnementaux pour créer une œuvre musicale représentative d’une imagerie poétique portant sur un lieu précis. Elle est présentée à titre d’exemple de l’évolution de mes stratégies et de mes préoccupations compositionnelles.
This thesis explores aesthetic relationships between poetry and music. It looks at both the analogous and disparate traits of the two arts with a focus towards the shared qualities of contemporary poetry and electroacoustic music. In suggesting how those of the former lend themselves as a tool for the composition of the latter, the paper touches on current and past research concerning music and narrative, electroacoustic aesthetics, psychoacoustics, poetics, semiology, linguistics and the history of poetry and music. This broad approach considers environmental sound as similar to the poetic word – a communicator of image, feeling, and history that, when re-contextualized in music, has the ability to both convey and elicit emotion. Indeed, in electroacoustic music, environmental sound can explicitly detail the characteristics of a real acoustic space, however, with the transformative effects of signal processing it can also shift into the abstract. This motion between sounds perceived as real and abstract parallels motion in contemporary poetry. Both arts can also express literal and symbolic meaning. This thesis investigates how these and other shared traits overcome intercommunicative barriers that arise naturally from their syntactical differences to mediate associative interpretations of poetry in music. The thesis ends with the musical analysis of four compositions, three of which were created with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts. These three pieces are the fruition of much of my doctoral work, exemplifying music inspired by poetry and composed from recordings of the Canadian environment. The regions represented in these recordings feature in the work of contemporary Canadian poets, John Steffler, Don Domanski and Marilyn Dumont. Varying in aesthetic, these poems use distinct language to depict the diversity of modern Canadian ecology. The content of each poem, in combination with my own experiential memory of the recorded environments, provides the inspiration for much of the music. The fourth piece presented also uses poetry as a foundation for composition; however, it is an earlier work that is less concerned with exploiting the potential of environmental recordings to create music representative of location-bound imagery in poetry. It has been included as an example of how my compositional strategies and concerns were refined.

Full textSpace is a parameter of sound that is relatively unexplored in music. Misunderstood by composers, it is not generally thought of as "composable" musical parameter. Yet if music can be seen as an organization and a succession of elements in time, why could it not also be in space? This work is intended to somehow bridge the gap between research and practice, by synthesizing the information I could find on each of the four sound spatialization methods discussed here. As a first step, I will discuss their development, operation and integration capabilities in the process of musical composition, as well as the tools available. In a second step, the work Minimale Sédation and Foundations, both composed in eight channels will be discussed. I will explain their process of composition through intentions, writing techniques and tools that have led to their creations. Keywords
