O estudo aqui reportado foca a Música Espectral no que tange à interpretação pianística. O objetivo do trabalho foi, através da obra Territoires de l'Oubli de Tristan Murail, elaborar uma concepção interpretativa. Três aspectos foram abordados para este fim: a incorporação da noção de Continuum, a idéia de Processo e o aporte da Escuta. Através destes três elementos procurou-se traçar uma revisão do referencial teórico a partir de artigos do compositor Tristan Murail associados a textos específicos de Hugues Dufourt, Joshua Fineberg, Philippe Leroux, Jérôme Baillet, Nicholas Cook, dentre outros. Para desenvolver as idéias ligadas à prática interpretativa, utilizou-se de apontamentos realizados no Atelier de Piano Contemporâneo com a pianista Martine Joste, de Master Class com a pianista Dominique My, além de entrevista com o próprio compositor. Da interação entre referencial teórico e imersão interpretativa foi possível levantar aspectos analíticos dos processos que compõem Territoires e cujo enfoque convergiu para a realização musical. De forma análoga aos mecanismos de síntese sonora, a pesquisa decompôs os processos constituintes da obra para reintegrá-los na concepção de uma interpretação / Abstract: This thesis connects theoretical framework to interpretative perspective. It discusses Spectral Music in the context of piano performance. This research aimed to develop an interpretative conception for Tristan Murail¿s Territoires de l'Oubli. Three aspects were studied along this goal: incorporation of the Continuum notion, study of the Process idea and the importance of sound perception. In line with these three points, there is a theoretical review covering articles from the composer Tristan Murail to texts from Hugues Dufourt, Joshua Fineberg, Philippe Leroux, Jérôme Baillet, Nicholas Cook, among others. To elucidate issues on piano performance, this text presents notes of the Martine Joste¿s Contemporary Piano Atelier and a Master Class with the pianist Dominique My and also an interview with the composer himself. From the interaction between theoretical perspective and interpretative immersion, it was possible to analyze aspects of Territoires processes converging to a musical realization. Such as a sound synthesis method, the piece constituent processes were analyzed to be re-integrated in a performance conception / Doutorado / Doutor em Música

This dissertation is comprised of a paper on Tristan Murail’s Mémoire/Érosion (1976) and a pair of my compositions—R[o/u]LE(s) for string quartet with percussion instruments (2016) and Projectile Motion (2018) for string quartet. The paper endeavors to draw attention to the rich, individualized voices within the French spectralist movement during its emerging phase, exemplifying various paths of en/decoding spectral thinking with Murail’s Mémoire/Érosion. In view of the interdisciplinary essence of spectralism, my analytical approach extensively adapts theories, research findings, and a posteriori knowledge from fields such as psychology, computer technology, and marketing so as to diversely reason how spectral thinking may be en/decoded by maneuvering information harnessed from the (pseudo-)spectral sources while interpreting the resultant perceptions. In comparison to the theme of the paper, which is heavily centered on pitch manipulation, the two compositions downplay such a musical dimension in varying degrees for different purposes. First, passive in nature and magnified by the incorporations of the percussion as well as the strings’ scratch tones, the reduced presence of pitch in R[o/u]LE(s) signals an attempt to navigate and investigate the topic of (Taiwanese) identity. Second, actively suppressed, pitch in Projectile Motion virtually becomes residual traces left by the heightened impulses of gesture, which, apart from being where the music largely gains its momentum, can be viewed as an expression of reflecting on issues of intimacy, accessibility, and cultural implications that contemporary music elicits in relation to a valued sector of my personal sphere.
