Flocking In The Time-Dissonance Plane, Adam James Wilson Jan 2009

Flocking In The Time-Dissonance Plane, Adam James Wilson

Publications and Research

This paper describes a technique for the sonification of an idealized model of the flocking behavior of birds, fish, and insects. Flocking agents are represented by pitches that move through time to produce chords of variable dissonance. The objective of each agent is to move toward more consonant chord formations with other agents. The output of the sonification is intended to provide material for use in musical composition.

Kenny Wheeler: Melody, Harmony And Structure : An Analysis Of The Melodic, Harmonic And Structural Techniques In The Compositions Of Kenny Wheeler, And The Implementation Of Those Techniques Into The Authors Own Creative Process, Alice Humphries Jan 2009

Kenny Wheeler: Melody, Harmony And Structure : An Analysis Of The Melodic, Harmonic And Structural Techniques In The Compositions Of Kenny Wheeler, And The Implementation Of Those Techniques Into The Authors Own Creative Process, Alice Humphries

Theses : Honours

Kenny Wheeler is a Canadian born trumpeter and composer who has gained the respect and admiration of musicians and critics alike for his distinct and beautiful compositions. Despite this acclaim, am extensive search of relevant literature has revealed very little academic study of his compositional technique. Through an analysis of the melodic, harmonic and structural techniques evident in selected compositions by Kenny Wheeler, this dissertation offers insight into what gives Wheeler's music its distinct sound. The influence of these techniques on the author's own creative work is discussed through an exegesis. The dissertation consists of three chapters. The first chapter …


“Etc. Etc.” Reliquias Y Fragmentos De Una Sonata De Schubert, Antoni Pizà Jan 2009

“Etc. Etc.” Reliquias Y Fragmentos De Una Sonata De Schubert, Antoni Pizà

Publications and Research

Resumen:

Tomando como ejemplo el caso de Reliquie, Sonata para piano en do mayor D. 840 de Schubert, este ensayo explora los entresijos que generan las obras musicales incompletas. ¿Qué diferencia hay entre un fragmento amputado y uno inacabado? ¿Qué autoridad tienen las reconstrucciones de obras incompletas? ¿Qué opciones tiene el intérprete a la hora de ejecutar esta obra? ¿Por qué nos atraen los fragmentos? La Sonata para piano en do mayor consiste en dos movimientos completos y otros dos inconclusos. Si bien algunos pianistas como Paul Badura-Skoda han grabado esta obra con su propia compleción, Sviatoslav Richter interrumpe su …
