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 textWith the advent of computers, new avenues of compositional and sound research have opened up. But if we have seen witnessing for years a plethora of sound generators and new synthesis techniques, there are few proposals for tools that address the control and formal construction of electronic music at several levels and that allow a fine integration of electronic writing. The work initiated in this thesis aims to develop, in the context of interactive mixed electroacoustic and audiovisual music in real time, a notion of centralised electronic score allowing within the same environment the definition, composition and general control of all electronic processes, their interactions and their synchronisations with musical, gestural and visual events. Using new, more expressive languages for writing electronics such as Antescofo and powerful synthesis and signal processing systems such as SuperCollider, this work has resulted in the development of a dedicated library: AntesCollider. This library allows to experiment with new approaches to the writing of electronics through the organisation and composition of sound structures, multitemporal, multiscale and interaction. By taking advantage of the computer notions of agents, processes and real-time algorithms, these sound structures can be combined dynamically and polyphonically in relation to external events, opening up new compositional paradigms and renewing the freedom and plasticity of musical creation

Full textElectro-acoustic music is still hardly studied in the field of Music Information Retrieval. Most research on this type of music focuses on composition tools, pedagogy and music analysis. In this thesis, we focus on scientific issues related to the analysis of electro-acoustic music. After placing this music into historical context, a study of the practices of three professional musicologist allows us to obtain guidelines for building an analysis system. Thus, we propose an interactive system for helping the analysis of electro-acoustic music that allows one to find the various instances of the sound objects of a polyphonic piece. The proposed system first performs a segmentation to identify the initial instances of the main sound objects. Then, the user can select the target sound objects before entering an interactive loop that uses active learning and relevance feedback provided by the user. The feedback of the user is then used by the system to perform a multilabel classification of sound segments based on the selected ones sound objects. An evaluation of the system is performed by user simulation using a synthetic corpus. The evaluation shows that our approach achieves satisfying results in a reasonable number of interactions

Full textWestern scholarly music has always benefited from the technological advancements available in each era. The influence such has proved to be, at the instrumental level, resulting initially in the broadening of the musical and compositional language and, subsequently, requiring the instrumentalist to adapt to new playing and interpretation techniques. The rapid technological development which marked the twentieth century pushed this situation to limits previously inconceivable. This is the origins of mixed music, which is a new kind of music that combining electro-acousitc music and acoustic instruments. Our thesis proposes a study on the trends of mixed music in France since 1981. First, we will analyze the main concepts inherent to the subject as well as their issues. Then, we will head towards the organization of the social, economic, political, cultural and musical environment existing in France which allowed the development of this musical genre. Lastly, we will focus on the idea of musical research to trace the main lines of mixed music trends in France since 1981. To do so, we will use musical works that are representative of this multidisciplinary work wich characterizing musical research

Full textIf the problematic of time, material, form, and their relationships is longstanding question in musical composition, the old dichotomy between form and material should be reshaped in view of the technological opportunities making possible a finer and more global apprehension in the handling of time in the scope of mixed music.In this context, the question addressed is to which extent the existence of a continuum between the notions of form and material is linked to the explicit design of temporal interlacing? This question involves new paradigms to understand the many components that determine the identity and the mutual relationships of material and form.Our research unfolds in two complementary axes to develop a compositional framework addressing the specification and the management of heterogeneous intertwined temporal processes at different time scales. The first axis works out an explicit topological representation of compositional spaces (based on simplicial complexes) that smoothes the boundaries between form and material. The second one spells out the various kinds of writing and the new temporal paradigms allowed by the Antescofo synchronous real-time programming language. The specification of multiple times during the composition phase and their management during the performance is developed through a strong relational standpoint.The theoretical and practical propositions investigated in this research works are illustrated on several pieces written during the thesis

Full textDuring the XXth century, new types of musical works appeared from the use of electricity and technological tools unknown in occidental music. A vast repertory of works has been developing from the 50’s to nowadays constituting the general category of electroacoustic music. More specifically, what were then named the mixed works originally combine the secular instrumental tradition with the new electroacoustic conception. This research work proposes to set up an analytical approach specific to these mixed works. In that sense, it is necessary to precisely define what the aims are (what is analyzed?) and what the method is (how can it be analyzed?). Besides, the stakes of the various questions studied in this work deal not only with these previous points but also with the specificity of the repertory to be analyzed. That is the reason why this work first focus on the fundamentals of occidental music from their evolution to nowadays. The point of the first part is indeed to define as precisely as possible the nature of mixed works according to their artistic background. Once this two axes set up (nature of the mixed works and methods of analysis), the work will focus on the analysis of various extracts of works which well exemplify the category. These analysis are articulated according to two major perspectives: the analysis of the causes of the sounds in a work and the analysis of the morphologic and structural relations between the sounds either produced by instruments or speakers

Naón, Luis. "Un cycle d'oeuvres en réseau : Urbana 24." Paris 8, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA083571.
Full textThe theorical work and the reflexion of this thesis takes places in a paralel manner to the writting of most of the works composing the Urbana Cycle. Sometimes, the detailed analysis of the procedures of composition and the tangential themes of the creation of works, as for exemple, the writting and the notation of the electroacoustic music or the deepening of the synthesis by physical models in Modalys whitch occupy an important part of this work, has been pretexts to many reflexions on the creative act and on the social and political meaning of the general projet. The main theme remains centered on the new context in which the creative work takes part of. Finally it is throuth the web problem and it’s aesthetics and sociological involvments that such step suposes, that I wonder about the futur of music. Starting from a first stage and represented by the musical work of such, the vision becomes more global bringing a more objectif look, I hope, on the cycle Urbana. The questionning re-emerges then on a more general and universal problematic which transcenders the particular framework of my creations. Besides an individual goal, this reflexion on creation takes part within the vast framework of the claim of utopies

Full textThis research is about the collaboration of a saxophonist-researcher with several composers in electro acoustic music with saxophones. Mixed music combines a performer playing acoustic instruments (traditional or not) interacting with digital and electronics means of all sort of operations, time scales and technical configurations, diffused by loudspeakers. We understand participation in our case as human exchanges in musical digital environments, and as the creation of new links that didn’t exist before. Our research proposes a reflection on listening approaches through the XXst century and studying mixed music through the multi scale approach. The saxophonist gives a contribution, that enhance a creative perspective for each musical piece that influence the composers’ work. Which techniques and which musical knowledge can be exchanged and enlarged thanks to this multiple feedback ? The work on first sources, the competence exchanges between musicians during the many steps of their process of collaborative work construct what we call participatory interpretation in new music. In some aspects we get close to the integral and systemic action-research, since we take part in our study objet, and we modify it in a dynamic process. We propose that the analysis of the musical pieces from our collaborations can bring forth an original knowledge about them and enhance musical creativity. Participatory interpretation optimizes the musical results and explore new mixed “composable” spaces. As a demonstration, some pieces are though analyzed under this participatory perspective. Our research leads to a conclusion towards the idea of plasticity in music making

Full textThe study of mixed music is characterized by a dualist approach: on the one hand, an analysis that merely focuses on technical meansand, on the other hand, research resorting to perceptive strategies in the analysis of electroacoustic music. In order to overcome thistraditional dualism, this work sketches a perceptive typology of the interaction between instrumental and electronic components, mixedmusic works are considered juxtapositionals, synthetics and transformationals. In doing so, the thesis advances an analytical holisticapproach in order to combine the concepts of perception and prescription in mixed music, where the notions of gesture and texture areparticularly relevant. The definition of a specific objet, i.e. the “mixed sound”, allows for an original interpretation of Denis Smalley’sspectromorphology and its epistemological framework. As a result, the typological perceptive criteria here proposed are based on thefunctional distribution of the attacks, sustains and decays of “mixed sounds” between the instrumental and the electronic parts. Thishypothesis is illustrated through the detailed analysis of five case studies: François-Bernard Mâche’s Sopiana and Aulodie, PhilippeManoury’s Pluton, Marco Stroppa’s Traiettoria and Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Mixtur

Full textWhen he is questioned about the fragmentary nature of the writing appearing in his last works, Luigi Nono asserts: “the logic of the discourse is something terrifying for me.” By standing against the musical discourse, the Italian composer does not just claim his refusal of the principle of deduction and the univocity of the development: he also considers the foundation of the western musical expression as obsolete. Indeed, written music belongs to the disciplines of the logos, the domain of the thought and its law of comprehensibility in which it was enfeoffed for centuries, even when the theorists claimed its autonomy. So, the notion of musical discourse relates to a model of reasoning inherited from the syllogistic thought of the Aristotelian rhetoric. Declined during its History under the methods of the counterpoint, the development or the variation, the principle of causal establishment of the form reveals its aporia since the first half of the 20th century.Then, the composers who went to Darmstadt after the World War II confront themselves with a double difficulty. On one hand, the renewal of the logical structures of the music appears as an urgency to release the musical writing of the rigidity of the systems which managed it since the end of the Renaissance. On the other hand, the advent of the new technologies reveals the richness of the sound phenomenon and suggest to reconsider the musical expression in order to integrate this material, which cannot be reduced to the writing processes of instrumental music. Therefore, the act of composing is enhanced by a critical responsibility because the composer has to fulfill the requirement of a logical articulation while he abolished the rigidity of an unambiguous discourse imposed on the listening. It is in this context that Pierre Boulez and Luigi Nono propose an electroacoustic aesthetics based on virtuality, space and resonance during the 1980s, establishing a discursive regime which unifies the heterogeneous without forcing it nor abolishing it
Basilico, Brenda. "Musique, mathématiques et philosophie dans l'oeuvre de Marin Mersenne." Thesis, Lille 3, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LIL30038/document.
Full textThis PhD dissertation provides a critical perspective of the dominantinterpretation of the scientific and philosophical works of Father Marin Mersenne(1588-1648) entirely structured by the sceptical question. The development of his ideasabout music embodies the spirit of the scientific revolution which emerges in theseventeenth-century. His investigation has the capacity to put his methods into questionwith an insatiable quest for the truth; a quest that involves political and religiousconcerns. The aim of this study is to show a profound transformation in the conceptionof music. This transformation that leads from a science of the quadrivium (subordinateto mathematics and claiming superiority of the judgement of reason) to a physical andmathematical science grounded on experience that recognizes the individuality of theesthetic experience, the liberty of the imagination of the composers and the ineffabilityof the sublime. It is quite difficult however to identify the existence of two differentstages in Mersenne’s thought. It is surprising how he expresses doubts about therelevance of the speculative approach to music whereas a musical reform is proposed inhis apologetic writings, having as a model the perfection of proportions of consonancesand rhythmic combinations well known by the ancients. And also, when he accepts thepractice of musical temperament, challenging the observation of the mathematicalperfection, he will continue to remind the proportions underlying the consonances.Despite this complexity (even these contradictions) we consider and pretend to showthat this transformation is undeniable and that the Mersenne epistemology must beanalysed according to the scientific questions and experiences which he faces in hisinvestigations and not as a response to a sceptical crisis

Full textThe development of computer assisted composition environments, intended for data-processing and formalization of musical structures, as been an important contribution for the contemporary musical writing, during second half of the 20th Century. Starting from a reflection on the influence that such environments brought to the musical composition, this study will propose a set of tools CAC which will try to give a new approach concerning these issues. This research will be based mainly on my personal experience as a composer, and will be based upon three fundamental aspects: 1 - Processes of composition - Creation of a corpus of processes of composition aiming its algorithmic formalization. 2 - Representation of the musical data - creation of a unit of visualization and listening tools for sound data and musical structures. 3 - Interaction Composer-Computer. Creation, experimentation and development of graphic user interfaces (ergonomic research) for each type of function or tool

Full textThis research project aims to study the contemporary integration, in the composition and performance, of technological and artistic tools corresponding to the state of the art in terms of real-time interaction between instrumental production, digital sound production and production of spatio-temporal forms in the listening space. In particular, we study how this integration can in turn constitute a new modality of writing in which a coherent writing of sound, a writing of time and a writing of space informed by technology do merge together in a coherent way.Computer paradigms for time and interaction management, synchronization tools, sound and gestural flow analysis, parameter control from instrumental sound, research on the issue of instrumental timbre and its digital descriptors, and interpreter-computer interaction are key elements of this research and creation work.We focus on real-time interaction with smart computer devices in a particularly virtuoso writing with specific aspects of temporal and spatial construction, this hybrid situation in turn influencing the nature of the writing itself. The various themes relating to this exploration, such as the writing of sound, time and space, are the starting point for declining and developing, according to the nature of the various productions envisaged, the possible links with other artistic disciplines

Full textWe propose a study on the composition potentialities resulting from the conjunction of the object sound concept and the progressive transfer of musical technologies to the digital media. Beginning with the sound object of Schaeffer, through the writings of other authors (Bayle, Smalley, Wishart), we arrive at the concept of digital sound object of Vaggione, which articulates this conjunction. Two consequences result: the statement of the enlargement of musical writing and a compositional attitude based upon the idea of a work as the result of an interface to a musical database (adapted from Manovich). Finally we describe the software and the works which guided us to two concrete results: a software for external patches management (KITTy) and the music for the “found footage” documentary Nature Morte which would not have been possible without the reflection and consequences presented here

Full textThe main goal of this work is to solve some of the difficulties that composers encounter when notating music. Firstly, we describe how the Western musical notation (WMN) is limited when attempting to write specific musical elements. Secondly, we show the possible advantages that multimedia writing (MW) could offer on the notation of such elements. To address these issues, we used MW in six “experiments/composition projects” that were conceived to answer specific notation questions. The results obtained thereof allowed us to demonstrate the efficacy of MW for overcoming current limitations in music notation. More specifically, MW constitutes a group of procedures that allows to simultaneously represent information in different ways. This information could be either text, sounds, still or moving images, among others. Such procedures can be used to note down a message to further save it and transfer it from the composer to the performer. In the context of our experimental paradigms, MW has proven to be efficient for: the notation of timber, the integration of musicians from oral tradition in mixed music works, the incorporation of instrumental techniques drawn from oral tradition music into written music, the integration of a tonal language in a music score, the notation of new instrumental and vocal techniques, the guidance at using new software, and the incorporation of expressiveness associated to music styles of oral tradition into written works. We consider that two types of notation that proved to be efficient in this research could be added to the body of already existing MW, namely auditive notation and the notation of a know-how by the means of video

Full textThis research associate immersive digital mobility and interactivemusic composition. We develop an approach to creation that encourages engagement and prolongs the experimentation of an artistic installation in an outdoor public space. We are interested in digital togetherness in mixed reality, where physical and virtual presence overlap and hybridize. Continuing and renewing ancient participatory cultural traditions, our creation, ScnVir offers a virtual scene of mixed reality and interactive design that promotes the emergence of participatory artistic experiences. Our hypothesis is that digital togetherness, through its clues communicated by group agency, favors engagement and extends the experience of a digital art installation. This assumes that the digital togetherness emerges by providing clues associated with this state and that the situated simulation is a technology that makes it possible to materialize such clues within an artistic installation. In order to continue this research, we have established an interdisciplinary research-creation approach including digital art, interaction design and geomatics, which includes conceptual, methodological and artistic objectives. We have determined and validated phases of the digital togetherness (the being-there, the hymersion and the group interaction) and the indices of the digital togetherness in situated simulation (proximity, sociability, the coordination of movements, the success of a mission). For the realization of the project, we designed interactivity based on simple movements using such indices. We have developed a creative methodology and created an artistic work applying the phases of digital togetherness in an artistic installation in situated simulation. To validate our research, we have developed a hybrid methodology combining a quantitative and qualitative analysis approach. The results show that all the participants have reached the first phase of the digital togetherness, the being-there and that all the participants have acceded, at least partially, to the second phase of the digital togetherness, the hymersion. The success of the second phase of digital togetherness validates that our device promotes the commitment of the participants in the experience, because hymersion requires commitment. For the third phase involving group interaction, our results highlight many digital togetherness indices and a mitigate success (28%) for the hidden mission, which allows us to affirm that some forms of digital togetherness have emerged from our installation. However, not all the participants succeeded in the hidden mission that served us as a quantitative validation of the emergence of digital togetherness, because the experimental conditions, the implementation of interaction design and our validation process demonstrate weaknesses. On the other hand, the presence of numerous indices of the digital togetherness attests that the situated simulation is a effective technology to implement the group agency. These results demonstrate that the implementation of digital togetherness within an artistic installation is possible. To achieve this, conditions must be respected: the phases of the digital togetherness must be met; the installation must allow the communication of behavioral indices by the group agency; group interactions must be mediated in the interface by appropriate media content. The observed results establish that our installation offers an experiment of rather long duration and thus favors the prolongation of the experimentation of a device of simple gestural interaction. Thus, our results allow us to affirm that digital togetherness promotes engagement and prolongs participation in a digital art installation in the public space. From an artistic point of view, our creative process is satisfactory because it offers both unpredictable and significant events, connected to the user experience, adapted to musical and artistic expression. The diffusion of our project in a recognized festival validates the interest of our approach of creation for the digital creation. The prospects for artistic development are extraordinary.

Full textA variety of audio signal processing techniques act on a Time-Frequency (TF) representation of the data. When the result of those algorithms is a magnitude spectrum, it is necessary to reconstruct the corresponding phase field in order to resynthesize time-domain signals. For instance, in the source separation framework the spectrograms of the individual sources are estimated from the mixture ; the widely used Wiener filtering technique then provides satisfactory results, but its performance decreases when the sources overlap in the TF domain. This thesis addresses the problem of phase reconstruction in the TF domain for audio source separation. From a preliminary study we highlight the need for novel phase recovery methods. We therefore introduce new phase reconstruction techniques that are based on music signal modeling : our approach consists inexploiting phase information that originates from signal models such as mixtures of sinusoids. Taking those constraints into account enables us to preserve desirable properties such as temporal continuity or transient precision. We integrate these into several mixture models where the mixture phase is exploited ; the magnitudes of the sources are either assumed to be known, or jointly estimated in a complex nonnegative matrix factorization framework. Finally we design a phase-dependent probabilistic mixture model that accounts for model-based phase priors. Those methods are tested on a variety of realistic music signals. They compare favorably or outperform traditional source separation techniques in terms of signal reconstruction quality and computational cost. In particular, we observe a decrease in interferences between the estimated sources and a reduction of artifacts in the low-frequency components, which confirms the benefit of signal model-based phase reconstruction methods

Cette recherche-création a exploré les enjeux créatifs et esthétiques de la fusion de deux approches de composition (mixte et électroacoustique), ainsi que du changement de médium (de support fixe à la performance). Se basant sur les théories d’analyse et d’écriture de la musique électroacoustique (Schaeffer, Roy, Vande Gorne) et de la musique mixte (Dall'Ara-Majek, Doneux) - quatre œuvres ont été composées (Éclats | Violet, Imaginary Landscape, Éclats | Noir et interference patterns), proposant un éclairage pratique à ces outils de composition. L’écriture de partitions pour instruments ou dispositifs électroniques est aussi abordée à partir d’exemples et d’articles sur le sujet.

This research proposes an analysis of the strategies that come into play in the composition of mixed and computer-assisted musical works. It highlights the characteristics of three compositional practices (instrumental, electroacoustic, and computer programming) in order to represent them as the foundation of different musical approaches. These approaches are then analyzed as possible starting points for a project, as processes implying a particular status of the composer and characteristics which result from their interaction, in order to form the entirety of compositional strategies. Through the realization of musical projects, the research proposes to apply four different strategies with the goal of exploring new methodologies. This experimentation has demonstrated the factors leading to the respect for or the deviation from biases and has opened the way to the questioning of the influence of the “doing” on the “hearing”.

Contrairement au genre vidéomusique qui est sur un support fixe, la vidéo proposée dans ce projet est interactive. Cette interaction fera l'objet principal de cette recherche puisqu'elle est nécessaire pour bien intégrer le jeu du musicien avec la vidéo. Nous nous attarderons plus spécifiquement sur des moyens pour permettre à la vidéo de suivre et de s'adapter à la musique puisque c'est dans ce champ qu'il y a le plus à découvrir. Nous ferons l'analyse de quatre études composées dans le but de trouver quels moyens sont les plus efficaces, élégants et polyvalents et nous en tirerons des conclusions. Une oeuvre musicale a ensuite été composée à la lumière de ces conclusions et nous en ferons l'analyse détaillée. Cette dernière pièce est d'une plus grande envergure pour un ensemble plus grand et d'une durée plus longue. Elle a été composée dans le but de transmettre un argument poétique. Nous nous sommes aussi penché sur l'intégration visuelle du jeu de l'instrumentiste et de la vidéo afin qu'ils se complètent dans une composition visuelle globale. Pour y arriver, nous avons expérimenté différents types de projections et de mise en scène.
In this research, we shall address a hybrid genre born from the mixture of mixed music and videomusic. Contrary to videomusic which is on a fixed medium, the video approached in this project is interactive. This interaction will figure as the main aspect of this research because it is necessary to achieve a good integration between the performer and the video. We will dwell more specifically on the methods allowing the video to follow the music because it is the field in which there is more to discover. We are going to analyze four little experimental pieces composed in such a way as to find which methods are the most efficient, elegant and versatile. We will draw our conclusions. A final piece has been composed from these conclusions and we are presenting a detailed analysis. This last piece is a larger-scale piece for a bigger ensemble with a longer length. The main goal was to communicate a poetic vision in the most efficient way. We also thought about the visual integration of the performer and the video to allow a unified visual composition between them. To achieve this integration, we have experimented different video projection types and stagings.

Full textDans mon travail de recherche et de création musicale, je m’inspire du concept d’intersection pour sa capacité à donner naissance à quelque chose de nouveau. Ce mémoire de maîtrise documente une exploration de ce concept dans trois contextes différents : une pièce instrumentale, une pièce mixte et une pièce pour chœur. J’emploie le mot « intersection » dans le sens figuré de deux éléments abstraits ou concrets qui se rencontrent. La nature de leur rencontre ainsi que les résultats possibles m’intéressent également. Je vise l’intégration du concept à tous les niveaux d’une pièce : du global (la conception, la forme) jusqu’au local (la facture et l’emploi des techniques de composition). Le choix de procédés est très ouvert et dépend entièrement du contexte de la pièce et du résultat artistique envisagé. Ainsi, dans chacune de mes trois pièces de maîtrise, j’ai choisi une approche différente de l’idée de l’intersection. J’ai expérimenté une variété de moyens et de procédés, ainsi que la fonction de la composante extra-musicale (lorsqu’il y en a une). Au premier chapitre, je discute de mon quintette Finding Common Ground qui explore l’intersection de l’écriture pour percussion avec l’écriture pour les quatre autres instruments plutôt « mélodiques ». Ensuite, au deuxième chapitre je présente ma pièce Pleine lune pour contrebasse et bande, qui apprivoise le croisement de l’écriture instrumentale avec l’écriture acousmatique. Finalement, au troisième chapitre j’expose ma pièce Séjour dans un autre monde, pour chœur de jeunes et piano préparé, qui s’inspire du croisement de la pensée électroacoustique et de l’écriture vocale et instrumentale.
In my musical research and creative work, I am inspired by the concept of intersection for its capacity to give birth to something new. This Master’s thesis documents an exploration of this concept in three different contexts: an instrumental piece, a mixed piece and a piece for choir. I employ the term “intersection” in the figurative sense of two elements, either abstract or concrete, which meet. The nature of their meeting and the possible results are of equal interest to me. I strive to integrate the concept at all levels of a piece: from the global perspective (the conception, the form) to the local perspective (the craft and the use of compositional techniques). The choice of procedures is wide open and depends entirely on the piece and the envisioned artistic result. Thereby, for each of my three Master’s pieces I chose a different approach to the concept of intersection. I experimented with a variety of means and procedures, as well as the function of the extra musical component (where applicable). In the first chapter, I discuss my quintet Finding Common Ground, which explores the intersection of percussion writing with the writing for the four other “melodic” instruments. Next, in the second chapter I present my piece Pleine lune for double bass and tape, which undertakes the crossing of instrumental writing with acousmatic writing. Finally, in the third chapter I examine my piece Séjour dans un autre monde, for youth choir and prepared piano, which was inspired by the crossing of electroacoustic thought with vocal and instrumental writing.

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.

Mon intention était d’uniformiser et de systématiser mon approche s’inscrivant essentiellement dans l’esthétique des romantiques. J’y combine musique à programme, partitions graphiques et autres techniques modernes de composition. Le premier chapitre est consacré à la description détaillée et commentée des trois étapes qui constituent mon travail de création : le programme, l’analyse ainsi que la structure et la forme. Pour expérimenter cette approche, j’ai composé trois pièces : Le chat noir, pièce mixte pour gamelan, bandes et traitements en temps réel et inspirée d’une nouvelle d’Edgar Allan Poe, La nébuleuse de la tour, pièce électroacoustique basée sur une partition graphique exécutée par une guitare et un trombone et, comme troisième pièce, Le livre de Thot, pour trio à cordes et piano, présentée en quatre mouvements inspirés d’autant de cartes du tarot. Les trois pièces sont décrites et analysées en fonction de ma démarche aux chapitres deux, trois et quatre, respectivement.
This thesis presents the results of my research project which consisted in elaborating and testing my compositional approach in three musical forms, namely, electroacoustic, instrumental, and mix. My aim was to systematize my approach—which belongs essentially with romantic aesthetics—and to make it uniform by combining program music, graphic partitions, and other modern compositional techniques. The first chapter is devoted to the detailed and commented description of the three stages of my creation process : program, analysis, as well as form and structure. To test my approach, I have composed three pieces, 1- Le chat noir, a mixed piece for gamelan, recording and real-time processing inspired by a novel by Edgar Allan Poes, 2- La nébuleuse de la tour, an electroacoustic piece based on a graphic partition and performed on guitar and trombone, and 3- Le livre de Thot, for string trio and piano and performed in four movements inspired by four tarot cards. These three pieces are described and analyzed in chapters two, three, and four respectively.

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 textThis thesis returns to the eleven musical works that marked my compositional journey as well as my development as an artist. I divided the production of these seven years of doctoral studies into three sections, corresponding to three distinct phases of the evolution of my language. This journey is a gradual transition from an intuitive approach to musical writing to a more structured approach. Bailo, String Quartet no.1, and Con fuoco were composed in the first phase. The second phase led to two pieces in which instrumental music and electroacoustic music were juxtaposed: the Concerto pour clarinette et bande and Impressions for bassoon and tape. In order to bridge the gap between these two distinct worlds, intuition gradually gave way to a better organization of parameters through the introduction of formalization. The third phase corresponds to a more rigorous exploration of formalization through the use of models. Four models are addressed in this thesis; the sound object model, the linguistics model, the timbre model and the visual arts model. In the sound object model, used in the Nevaliashka piece, formalization is built around an object of everyday life from which a maximum of information is extracted and analyzed. Used in the operas Les bottes jaunes and The Feast of Nemesis, the linguistics model incorporates the semantics and phonetics of different languages into the compositional process. The timbre model, found in FLAW/LESS and Transition, focuses on the corporeality of traditional instruments and their acoustic potential. Instrumental writing is thought of as a sculpture of timbres and follows the methodology generally used in electroacoustic music composition. Finally, with the visual arts model, highlighted in the Galženjaki piece, I analyze the interactions between visual arts and literature and attempt to translate this dialogue into music.

Full textCette thèse est basée sur une approche méthodologique hybride relevant de recherche-création en musique et de musicologie appliquée à l’interprétation. Elle s’intéresse à cette question centrale : « Quels rôles l’interprète-chercheur occupe-t-il dans un contexte de création ou de re-création (ou d’interprétation) musicale » ? Pour y répondre, l’auteure examine et rend compte du processus créateur et re-créateur de deux œuvres significatives dans son parcours en tant qu’interprète, soit Kathinkas Gesang als Luzifers Requiem (1983-1984) de Karlheinz Stockhausen et La Machi, rituel pour flûtes, électronique et regards (2007-2011) d’Analía Llugdar. Le travail de ces œuvres mixtes qui comportent toutes deux une dimension théâtrale tout en mettant en scène des personnages instrumentaux l’amène aussi à traiter des problématiques de l’appropriation de l’œuvre par l’interprète-chercheur et de la liberté de celui-ci face aux œuvres présentant un haut degré de déterminisme notationnel. La première partie situe les contextes disciplinaires et théoriques des recherches de l’auteure. Le premier chapitre permet de comprendre comment s’exerce la recherche de l’interprète en musique et de situer les différentes modalités dans lesquelles ce type de recherche s’effectue. Le deuxième chapitre explique les notions d’interprétation, d’improvisation et de composition et il situe l’interprète par rapport à ces trois champs d’activités. L’auteure y compare aussi les modes créatifs du théâtre à ceux de la musique tout en s’intéressant aux divers types d’authenticité inhérents au travail d’interprétation. Le troisième chapitre pose le principal angle d’investigation et d’analyse adopté dans cette thèse, soit celui du timbre instrumental. La deuxième partie porte sur Kathinkas Gesang de Stockhausen. Le quatrième chapitre présente une chronologie récapitulative des différentes grandes périodes d’appropriation de l’auteure. Le cinquième chapitre présente et met en contexte le symbolisme du cycle Licht, die sieben Tage der Woche (1977-2003), dans lequel Kathinkas Gesang s’insère. Le sixième chapitre est voué à une analyse du symbolisme attribué au timbre des principaux instruments que l’on retrouve dans Licht. Le septième chapitre évalue l’impact de la présence des interprètes dans le processus compositionnel chez Stockhausen tout en traitant de la question du casting dans Licht. Le huitième chapitre s’articule en un lexique timbral présentant une exégèse des techniques de jeu employées dans Kathinkas Gesang pour produire divers types de timbres. La troisième partie porte sur La Machi d’Analía Llugdar. Dans le neuvième chapitre, l’auteure présente la structure générale de l’œuvre et son synopsis et elle traite du rôle qu’elle a joué dans le processus de création de cette œuvre. Le dixième chapitre prend la forme d’un lexique timbral présentant une exégèse des différentes techniques de jeu employées dans l’œuvre pour produire divers types de timbres. Dans la conclusion, trois sphères d’action et six rôles-types de l’interprète-chercheur en création et en re-création musicale sont identifiés. De plus, des réponses aux problématiques de l’appropriation de l’œuvre et de la liberté de l’interprète sont apportées. L’auteure y suggère également des pistes de réflexion pour la recherche- création en musique et elle y présente les principales retombées de la thèse.
This dissertation is based on a hybrid methodological approach belonging to research-creation in music and musicology applied to performance. It explores the following central question : “What roles are occupied by the performer-researcher in a context of musical creation or re-creation (or performance)” ? In response, the author examines and relates the creative and re-creative process for two significant works in her practice as a performer : Kathinkas Gesang als Luzifers Requiem (1983- 1984) by Karlheinz Stockhausen and La Machi, rituel pour flûtes, électronique et regards (2007-2011) by Analía Llugdar. The work on these mixed electroacoustic music pieces that both include a theatrical dimension and the staging of instrumental characters also leads her to consider issues of appropriation of the piece by a performer-researcher and their freedom when faced with pieces involving a high level of notational determinism. The first part lays out the discipline-based and theoretical contexts of the author’s research. Chapter 1 provides insight into how a performer’s research is carried out in music and situates the different ways in which this type of research is undertaken. Chapter 2 explains the notions of performance, improvisation and composition, and it positions the performer in relation to these three fields of activity. The author also compares creative approaches in theatre to those in music, while exploring different types of authenticity inherent in the interpretive process. Chapter 3 presents the principal angle of investigation and analysis adopted in this dissertation, that of instrumental timbre. The second part focusses on Kathinkas Gesang by Stockhausen. Chapter 4 presents a recapitulative chronology of the different major periods of the author’s performance. Chapter 5 presents and contextualizes the symbolism of the cycle Licht, die sieben Tage der Woche (1977-2003), from which Kathinkas Gesang is taken. Chapter 6 is devoted to the analysis of the symbolism attributed to the timbre of Licht’s main instruments. Chapter 7 evaluates the impact of the performer’s presence during the compositional process for Stockhausen, while exploring the question of casting in Licht. Chapter 8 is articulated around a lexicon of timbre presenting an exegesis of the playing techniques used in Kathinkas Gesang to produce various types of timbres. The third part focusses on La Machi by Analía Llugdar. In Chapter 9, the author presents the general structure of the piece and its synopsis, and she explores the role she played in the creative process of this piece. Chapter 10 takes the form of a lexicon of timbre presenting an exegesis of playing techniques used in the piece to produce various types of timbres. In the conclusion, three spheres of action and six archetypal roles of the performer-researcher in musical creation and re-creation are identified. Furthermore, answers to the issues of appropriation of the piece and the performer’s freedom are proposed. The author also suggests reflections for research-creation in music and she presents the main outcomes of the dissertation.

Full textDurant ces trois dernières années, mon langage musical a évolué vers une dialectique de plus en plus gestuelle. Par l’intermédiaire de cet élément, j’ai recherché comment on pouvait « chorégraphier » la musique. Ces réflexions m’ont poussé à choisir une approche basée aussi bien sur le mouvement que sur la temporalité afin d’en déduire certains aspects musicaux. La finalité est de mêler d’une manière cohérente le geste chorégraphique, le geste musical et le geste instrumental. J’ai choisi de présenter mes pièces en ordre chronologique afin de montrer les liens qui subsistent entre elles, aussi bien dans leurs caractères que dans l’évolution de mon discours compositionnel. Ces oeuvres, qui utilisent toutes certains paradigmes électroacoustiques, exhibent une forte disparité énergétique et démontrent un intérêt marqué pour les extrêmes. Ces éléments sont au coeur de mon écriture et de ma pensée musicale. Ces considérations m’ont permis de faire évoluer un concept de « musique chorégraphique » dans lequel le discours musical s’oriente à travers différents types d’événements gestuels.
During these last three years, my language evolved constantly towards a more gestural vocabulary. Through this, I searched for a way to « choreograph » music. During this research, I gave as much importance to movement as to temporality in order to highlight certain aspects that are purely musical. The objective is mixing the pure choreographical movement, the musical gesture, and the instrumental gesture. I choose to present my pieces chronologically in order to analyze their relation, the compositional evolution that I experimented. These pieces use very different energy dynamics, a tendency for the extremes and the paradigm of electroacoustic music. These elements are intrinsic both in my writing and my musical thinking. Taking this into consideration, I was able to generate the concept of « choreographical » music, where the music is expressed through different types of gesture.

Le jeu instrumental est ainsi augmenté par des composantes électroacoustiques qui peuvent être contrôlées par l’interprète. Une grande partie de cet ouvrage est consacrée à la recherche autour de ces œuvres. On peut y lire un bref historique de la musique mixte qui souligne l'apport de la flûte à la musique électroacoustique. On se penche sur les défis de synchronisation du son instrumental et électronique auxquels font face les compositeurs depuis les années 1950, pour ensuite déterminer en quoi consiste la composition interactive. Après avoir défini la notion de geste instrumental, en particulier en ce qui concerne le jeu de la flûte traversière, on aborde les détails de la lutherie électronique de l’hyper-flûte et de l’hyper-flûte-basse. Ces descriptions techniques sont précédées de commentaires sur différents instruments augmentés et spécifiquement sur les différentes flûtes connues. Cette partie se termine par un exposé concernant l’interaction et les stratégies de mappage des données gestuelles vers les correspondances sonores. La suite est consacrée aux compositions. On peut d’abord y lire mon point de vue sur la composition interactive et l’improvisation. Six chapitres décrivent ensuite en détail chacune des œuvres. On y présente les sources d’inspiration et une analyse formelle sommaire de chaque pièce, puis on élabore sur les composantes instrumentales et électroacoustiques, en explicitant les types d’interactions utilisés. Soulignons que quatre de ces œuvres ont été élaborées autour de textes poétiques. Finalement, une courte conclusion résume les objectifs artistiques réalisés dans le cadre de ce doctorat et les pistes envisagées pour la poursuite de mon travail créateur avec les hyper-flûtes.
This dissertation presents the compositional processes of six pieces with live interactive electronics for hyper-flutes: flutes equipped with electronic motion sensors connected to a computer. Instrumental techniques are thus augmented by electroacoustic components that can be controlled by the performer. A significant portion of this document is focussed on the research framing these works. A brief history of «musique mixte» is presented, underlining the contribution of the flute to electroacoustic music. The challenges associated with the synchronization of instrumental and electronic sounds with which composers have been faced since the 1950’s are then addressed, providing the context for establishing the essential nature of interactive composition. After having defined the notion of instrumental gesture, particularly as it concerns flute techniques, details of the electronic design of the hyper-flute and the hyper-bass-flute are considered. The descriptions of these techniques are prefaced by observations about other augmented instruments and more specifically the different known flutes. This part concludes with a presentation of the interaction and mapping strategies of gestural data as it relates to the corresponding audio elements. The sections that follow focus attention on the compositions. I begin by elaborating my own perspective on interactive composition and improvisation. Six chapters then provide detailed descriptions of each of the pieces, starting with the sources of inspiration and a brief formal analysis. I go on to explain their instrumental and electroacoustic components, detailing the types of interactions used. Of particular note is the fact that four of these works were developed based on poetic texts. Lastly, a short conclusion summarizes the artistic objectives realized during my doctoral tenure as well as the potential opportunities for the continuation of my creative work with the hyper-flutes.
