Full textThis bachelor thesis examines Pierre Schaeffer’s (2012 [1952]) term musique concrète as well as it’s methods and techniques. Musique concrète can be described as a collection of compositional methods that uses recorded sounds from the surrounding world as a startingpoint, without the use of musical instruments, music theory, or electronically produced sounds. We used Schaeffer’s term reduced listening (which Michel Chion (1994) later expanded upon). Jøran Rudi (2011) writes about R. Murray Schafer’s term Hi-Fi and Lo-Fi,and these terms were later used by us to categorise and record sounds from the environment. Investigation and experimentation with the various methods and techniques ensued in the design process in order to explore and document the work process of the prototypes. This process resulted in a collection of musique concrète compositions stemming from the Lo-Fi och Hi-Fi processes through which we gained more knowledge and understanding of themethods and techniques involved.

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
Reyna, Alejandro Jose. "La construction de l'hétérogène dans la musique de Luc Ferrari : lieu, récit et expériences. : analyses d’Hétérozygote, Far-West News et Chantal, ou le portrait d’une villageoise." Thesis, Paris 8, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA080107/document.
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 textWhat relationship do composers have with the voice simulation and processing? To understand the artistic implications behind the techniques of voice simulation and processing, we shall examine the means and the models employed, as well as their stylistic consequences. The vital lead in this research is therefore the study of the contributions made by artificial processes in association with vocality to the electroacoustic and computer musics so as to define, consolidate and prolong the concept of artificial vocality. Beyond exposing the conditions required for the emergence of artificial vocality and its blossoming, we shall point out the existence of musical gestures that are either distinct or influenced by mechanical processes. Finally, the paradigms of artificial vocality - between rupture and continuity, figuration and disembodiment, ambiguity and paradox - nourish the future of artificial vocality and open the perspective of its imaginary space
Higashikawa, Ai. "Conception musicale et enjeux esthétiques dans les relations entre les écritures instrumentale et électroacoustique chez Pierre Boulez." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL003.
Full textThis research aims to reconstruct the compositional process of Pierre Boulez’s electroacoustic compositions of the fifties through the study of sketches and manuscripts preserved at the Paul Sacher Stiftung. Our thesis was based on two complementary approaches: the reconstruction of the musical, aesthetic and historical context and study of the sketches. In Part I, we first examined the Pierre Schaeffer archives in order to explore the program of the first musique concrète workshop at the GRMC. The eorganization of the sketches and the reconstruction of the process of sound synthesis allowed us to emphasize that Boulez’s composition of the two musique concrète studies (1951-52) was an indispensable stage for the development of his concept of serialism. In Part II, we related the composition of Symphonie mécanique (1955) and Poésie pour pouvoir (1958) to Edgard Varèse's concept of "Organized sound" in Déserts (1954) by tracing the transition of musique concrète to electroacoustic music. Boulez developed in his electroacoustic pieces the notion of "sound blocks" originally used in instrumental and orchestral pieces. Our study reveals that Boulez proceeded by trial and error in a coherent and developed way in order to realize the integration of the instrumental and electroacoustic sounds. In this sense, it is reasonable for Poésie pour pouvoir to be considered as the origin of mixed music in Pierre Boulez’s oeuvre. This confrontation of the instrumental and electroacoustic sounds was essential for Boulez’s realization of a musical translation of Henri Michaux's poem

Full textOur thesis focuses on the relationship between music and dance in the choreographic creations of Maurice Béjart (1927-2007). We are particularly interested in the pieces for which the choreographer has worked with his contemporaries. The relationship that Béjart proposed between choreography and musical works seems to have strongly affected the world of music. In order to shed light on Béjart's role in the history of contemporary musical creation, this research attempts to assess to what extent Béjart has influenced the creations of seven composers with whom he worked: Pierre Henry (1927-2007), Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001), Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007), Pierre Boulez (1925-2016), Luciano Berio (1925-2003), Toshirô Mayuzumi (1929-1997) and Alain Louvier (1945-). The thesis is divided into two parts. The first is a general presentation of Béjart's work, preceded by a perspective of his relationship with music. We also tried to find a principle that would unify Béjart's use of the contemporary music in his choreographic creations. The second part is a detailed analysis of specific works. Focusing on the seven selected composers, we analysed in detail several collaborations, from the Symphonie pour un homme seul in 1955 with Henry to Casta Diva in 1980 with Louvier. Elaborated from numerous documents consulted in many places, and in particular, in the various departments of the BnF and in the Archives of Ina, our research questions Béjart's reflections on the relationship between dance and music

Full textThis artistic degree project researches if it is possible to link four different songs of diverse genres onto one EP through the use of both musical and non-musical elements that arise as bridges between the songs. Four different methods have been tested and evaluated to see which one gives the best result. The tested methods are: arrangements for choir, atonal bridges, leitmotif and narrative phrases. Early on it became clear that the arrangements for choir were hard to complete in the limited time that existed for the project. To work with atonal bridges was easier since the only guide line used was that the bridge should start in the key last heard and end on the same key as the upcoming song. When the leitmotif was written tonally it was difficult to do but using the sound of wind as a non-musical leitmotif added a nice space to the bridges. When working with the narrative phrases the songs were analysed carefully to find the key phrases of the lyrics from the four songs to use in the narrative speech. The result of this project indicates that the best way to create these bridges is to combine the different methods, use the atonal synthesizers with the non-musical wind sounds as a leitmotif along with the narrative phrases. The only method not used was the arrangement for choir.

Full textWith the end of the twenties, some avant-garde cineasts and composers began to use the potentialities of the newly invented opiticaltrack, wich permitted many sound manipulations. Changes of speed in sound reading, reversion, "retrograde score", new electronic instruments, optical synthesis, transformations and edition of noise, so many techniques that spread out along with the revolution of sounded cinema. These devices, although not always used by the whole cinematographic production, are no less a new way of composing sound, regardles of cinematographic categories: fiction, documentaries, animation, experimental movies. After 1950, this electroacoustic processes become more and more common, particulary in the "Service de la Recherche de l'ORTF" (French Radio Television Office) under the direction of Pierre Schaeffer. There are also used by the most prominent artistic scholls such as synesthesist movement, author films, structural cinema, Found Footage, and deconstructivism. This study unfolds a new historic vision of the birth and developpement of electroacoustic medias in cinema, along with an examination of their signifying function

Full textPierre Henry and Pierre Schaeffer wrote Orphée, a masterpiece primarily known as the first opera of concrete music. In 1951, it already brought into play a singer alone on stage, with a musical backing recorded on a magnetic tape (Orphée 51 or Toute la lyre). Often mentioned but rarely analyzed, this act of creativity is often eclipsed by the scandal that the second version of this work caused two years later, at the Contemporary Music Festival of Donaueschingen in Germany (Orphée 53). Despite their methodological and aesthetic differences, the two composers declined Orphée in many corollary versions that can be found in private archives : palimpsest that remained inexplored during the second half of the twentieth century. By circumvolution, it show that the concept of palimpsest can be extended to a larger than originally anticipated ensemble of works, since some of the most iconic sounds of Orphée show equivalence relationships with sounds from other Pierre Henry's isolated works, which are sometimes separated by tens of years. We use the connectionist approach to reveal the first steps of an extremely complex process of composition, which is unique to Pierre Henry. It is based on an indexing system of all of its sounds, and supports a self-generational writing

Full textDespite his place of privilege among the best-known and most influential composers of the twentieth century, the state of current research on Olivier Messiaen leaves much room for development. This study focuses on three understudied aspects of this major modern figure drawing from neglected primary sources in the French National Archives, the Mediathèque of the Paris Conservatory, the Sacher Stiftung, and private collections, notably 1º Messiaen’s eductation at the Paris Conservatory during the 1920s and the relationship of his music to the institutions pedagogical traditions, 2º the development of Messiaen’s technique of borrowing, transforming and juxtaposing pre-existing music in his compositions during the 1930s and 1940s, and finally, 3º Messiaen’s experimentation in the domains of microtonal music and musique concrète. The current study brings to light many of the composer’s forgotten or lesser-known works and reconsiders our understanding of how he composed

Full textSi Norman McLaren (1914-1987) œuvre principalement dans le domaine onirique de l’animation, David Cronenberg (1943-), parfois surnommé « The Baron of Blood », réalise des films de fiction appartenant à un genre singulier qu’il a lui-même développé, celui de « l’horreur intérieure ». Que peuvent donc partager ces deux cinéastes aux univers a priori si distincts ? Chacun a construit une relation à long terme avec un compositeur : Maurice Blackburn (1914-1988) pour le premier, Howard Shore (1946-) pour le second. Mais si les univers des deux réalisateurs ont été maintes fois investigués, l’apport de leurs compositeurs respectifs demeure peu examiné. Or, d’un univers à l’autre, la musique semble jouer un rôle de toute première importance, chacun des compositeurs étant impliqué très tôt dans le processus cinématographique. Cette implication précoce dans la création collective est indicatrice de la place et du rôle centraux qu’occupent Blackburn et Shore et leur musique au sein de l’œuvre de McLaren, d’une part, et de Cronenberg, de l’autre. De la sorte, les partitions semblent ne pouvoir être considérées comme une simple illustration sonore des films, mais comme une composante tout à fait fondamentale, relançant dès lors la question du rôle de la musique au cinéma : comment le définir ? En outre, au fil de la rencontre continue sur plusieurs films, musique et cinéma en sont venus à un entrelacement tel qu’un style singulier de musicalisation des images se serait développé : quels sont les traits qui définissent ce style ? D’une collaboration à l’autre, cette thèse cherche à établir une poïétique de la création musico-filmique ; elle cherche à décrire et à comprendre les processus créateurs filmique et musical qui déterminent la composition d’une musique de film et, plus encore, une musicalité de tout le complexe audio-visuel. À travers des portraits examinant la pratique et le discours des créateurs et quatre analyses de bandes sonores (A Phantasy de Norman McLaren, Jour après jour de Clément Perron, Crash et A Dangerous Method de David Cronenberg), des liens se tissent peu à peu entre les pensées et les pratiques des deux compositeurs qui développent des stratégies similaires et originales face aux problèmes que leur posent les œuvres de McLaren (l’indissociabilité de la musique et de l’image) et de Cronenberg (la « transformation de l’esthétique humaine »). D’un binôme à l’autre, le cinéma se transforme en un laboratoire musico-filmique où chacun élabore une « méthode dangereuse » qui force l’analyste à explorer de nouvelles avenues méthodologiques.
Norman McLaren’s (1914-1987) animation work evokes a primarily dream-like world. David Cronenberg (1943-), also sometimes known as the “Baron of Blood,” makes fiction films that belong to a singular genre he developed: the “inner horror.” So what can these two filmmakers possibly have in common? They both built a long-term relationship with composers: Maurice Blackburn (1914-1988) for the former and Howard Shore (1946-) for the latter. Though the distinct approaches of these two directors have been widely studied, the weight of the contributions of their respective composers remains largely unmeasured. And this, despite the fact that music seems to play a primary role in these two directors’ process since, in each instance, the composer is involved very early on. This unusually early involvement of the composer, and the ongoing collaboration it entails, are indicative of the central place and role held by Blackburn and Shore’s music in McLaren’s work on the one hand, and Cronenberg’s on the other. This considered, their scores must no longer be seen as direct sound illustration of the films, but rather as essential components of the films, even though such a stance forces us to rethink how we define the role of music in film. Furthermore, from film to film, music and cinema become so intertwined that a singular style of musicalization of the image develops, begging the question: what are the characteristics of this style? From one collaboration to the other, this thesis seeks to establish a poietic of film-music creation; it looks to describe the cinematic and musical creative processes that determine the composition of film music and, beyond that, the musicality of the entire audio-visual complex. Through portraits that investigate the practice and discourse of creators and through the analysis of four soundtracks (A Phantasy by Norman McLaren, Day After Day by Clément Perron, Crash and A Dangerous Method by David Cronenberg), the thoughts and practices of the two composers, who develop similar innovative strategies to solve the problems posed by the works of McLaren (the inseparability of music and image) and Cronenberg (the “transformation of human aesthetics”), are gradually connected. From one duo to another, cinema becomes a musical and cinematic laboratory where each develops a “dangerous method” which forces the analyst to explore new methodological avenues.
