Para tal, fez se necessário compreender o que vem a ser a escritura musical; examinar as condições históricas e técnicas que possibilitaram o desenvolvimento da escritura musical; e investigar como os processos de escritura se instituem e se relacionam com os processos de criação e de percepção musicais, sejam eles instrumentais ou eletroacústicos. Em um segundo momento, após termos investigado a produção teórica de compositores do século XX que se dedicaram a conceituar a escritura musical – especificamente Pierre Boulez, Philippe Manoury, Hughes Dufourt e Flo Menezes –, empreendeu‐se uma pesquisa de criação musical envolvendo instrumentos acústicos e eletrônica em tempo real. Nesta pesquisa de criação, extensamente documentada neste trabalho, procuramos demonstrar como os processos de escritura se estabelecem no decorrer das diversas etapas da composição musical / The objective of this research is to understand how the processes of musical writing are built in compositional projects involving live electronics. For this purpose, it was necessary to question the concept of musical writing; to examine the historical and technical conditions that gave rise to musical writing; and to investigate how the processes of musical writing are established and how they relate to the processes of creation and perception of instrumental and electroacoustic music. After investigating the theoretical production of twentieth‐century composers who dedicated themselves to conceptualize musical writing – specially Pierre Boulez, Philippe Manoury, Hughes Dufourt and Flo Menezes –, an artistic research was undertaken involving two compositions for acoustic instruments and live electronics. These two compositions, extensively documented in this work, demonstrate how the processes of musical writing are established during the various stages of musical composition

abstract: Despite the growth of technology in music composition and performance, professional clarinetists maintain that air microphones are superior to piezoelectric pickups. Pickups offer increased mobility, isolation, and reduced feedback, but air microphones are used simply for the perceived sound quality. In this study a ported barrel pickup and a contact transducer pickup placed at various intervals on the clarinet were sampled and compared to a reference recording to determine how the sound differed for each method. In addition, the history of wind instrument pickups, the acoustics of the clarinet, and the basics of piezoelectricity were discussed to help examine the results. The pickups were examined in three ways: overall level in decibels, frequency cutoff, and overtone displacement. Through these results it was determined that the most accurate methods of clarinet pickup are the ported barrel pickup, contact transducers closer to the vibration of the reed such as the ligature or barrel surface, or a transducer placed at the end of the bell. These findings were consistent with the discussions regarding history, clarinet acoustics, and piezoelectricity. This study also produced a reference for the sounds associated with different pickup methods, as well as possible improvements for clarinet pickup design. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2018

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / A presente pesquisa trata sobre os processos de consagrados e seus mecanismos de construÃÃo de diferenciaÃÃo entre os DJs da cidade de Fortaleza. Partindo das compreensÃes de Bourdieu, as aÃÃes dos agentes no seu espaÃo social, indicados pelo habitus, criam uma luta simbÃlica por posiÃÃes de prestÃgio atravÃs do acÃmulo de capital simbÃlico dentro da cena. AtravÃs do resgate histÃrico de suas carreiras, à possÃvel identificar as possÃveis instÃncias de consagraÃÃo e legitimaÃÃo dos agentes. Propus-me a pensar os sujeitos e suas atribuiÃÃes de sentido que estabelecem a partir das vivÃncias, das ideias e do conhecimento necessÃrio para se tornar consagrado, reconhecido, lembrado pelos demais DJs da cidade. Os dados utilizando sÃo entrevistas com trÃs agentes (Fil, Fran Viana e Rodrigo LobbÃo), associadas Ãs notÃcias e entrevistas veiculadas em jornais, sites, revistas e blogs especializados na disseminaÃÃo das atividades da cena local. Como resultado, percebe-se uma lÃgica particular, no qual hà relaÃÃo direta entre o acÃmulo de conhecimento, proporcionado pelas experiÃncias de sua carreira, e as posiÃÃes de deferÃncia aos demais.

Esta pesquisa examina o surgimento deste fenômeno, no começo da década de 1980, a partir do pensamento de Pierre Schaeffer, que fornece uma metodologia apropriada para tal empreendimento. No primeiro e segundo capítulos, estudam-se o entorno tecnológico da música no século XX, o arsenal de ferramentas fabricadas de forma industrializada e o processo social de incorporação destas tecnologias. No terceiro capítulo, disserta-se sobre os desafios estéticos da música eletrônica e as dinâmicas de trabalho que se desenvolvem. Promulga-se, aqui, a emergência de uma nova experiência musical, a que se denomina ¿discurso da reprodução¿. Por último, aprofunda-se no trabalho do grupo de música pop alemão Kraftwerk, como antecessor e elaborador da música eletrônica, assim como exemplo da incorporação da tecnologia ao trabalho em música realizado no século XX / Mestrado / Mestre em Multimeios

Mario Davidovsky is an American composer who was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on March 4, 1934. Beginning in 1958, he was a student of Aaron Copland at the Berkshire Music Center (currently the Tanglewood Music Center) in Lenox, Massachusetts. At Berkshire, he also met American composer, Milton Babbitt, who persuaded him to work at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center (currently the Computer Music Center at Columbia University) in New York City. Davidovsky was appointed Associate Director of the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in 1960 where he inevitably began experimenting with the relationships between live instruments and electronic sounds. Synchronisms No. 10 for guitar and tape (1992) is a piece for solo classical guitar and pre-recorded synthesized sounds. The piece was dedicated to David Starobin, the current Professor of Guitar at the Manhattan School of Music, who also edited the guitar part. This particular piece in the Synchronisms series shows that Davidovsky is aware of the limitations of the guitar in regard to dynamic range and decay of sound. Knowing these limitations, Davidovsky utilizes the various abilities of the instrument including its wide timbral range and use as a percussive medium. Although Davidovsky himself has been quoted as not using pitch-class sets of any kind, a post-tonal analysis can be applied to this piece in order to further understand individual sections and interaction between guitar and recording. Also, a review of the performance techniques necessary to approach this piece, and how said techniques are implemented, will help the musician perform at a higher level.
