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

Metaphor and Mimesis in an Animal Soundscape serves as a supplementary document for two pieces of contemporary concert music; HOWL, for viola, saxophone and fixed media, and Pastorale for viola and fixed media. Both works quote the second movement of Antonio Vivaldi's violin concerto, La Primavera. This quotation is used to support a musical program which explores the larger topic of metaphor in music. In addition, both pieces play with contemporary trends in music including, but not limited to, acoustic ecology and spectralism.

Bien que le courant musical « spectral » soit à la source de nombreuses recherches, il apparaît que les percussions y tiennent une place particulière qui n’a été que trop peu étudiée. L’évolution de disciplines comme l’organologie, l’anthropologie ou l’ethnomusicologie a contribué à l’inclusion dans le vocabulaire des compositeurs de nombreux nouveaux instruments à percussion. Si on remarque que les spectres fournis par les percussions servent bien souvent à composer le timbre, c’est l’intérêt pour la perception qui pousse les compositeurs à considérer la sonorité globale des pièces par phénomènes de mémoire ou de seuils. Ceci amène une nouvelle manière de forger des sons sur certaines caractéristiques inhabituellement mises en avant comme la densité, la plage fréquentielle, la rugosité, ou la granulation. Le langage des percussions apparait comme vecteur immédiat de l’expression des compositeurs et des interprètes, et le courant spectral semble bénéficier de cette exploration sonore. / Although the musical style called « spectral » is the source of much research, it appears that the percussion family holds in it a special place that has been too little studied. Developments in disciplines such as organology, anthropology or ethnomusicology contributed to the inclusion of many new percussion instruments in the vocabulary of composers. If one notice that the spectra provided by the percussion often serve to dial tone, it is the interest towards perception that pushes composers to consider the overall sound of pieces through memory and threshold phenomena. This brings a new way to craft sounds from some unusually highlighted characteristics such as density, frequency range, roughness, or granulation. Percussion appear as immediate expression vectors to composers and performers, and the spectral movement seems to benefit from this exploration of sound, made possible by the diversity inherent to percussion alloys spectra.

Assim, acredita-se que a discussão acerca da relação som-tempo na música é importante para o compositor contemporâneo. Gérard Grisey, compositor e cofundador de uma das mais importantes escolas de composição da segunda metade do século XX (a Música Espectral), apresenta uma singular visão do fenômeno musical, particularmente diante do seu desenvolvimento no tempo. Seu pensamento é fundamentado principalmente em pesquisas no campo da acústica e psicoacústica, ou seja, na estrutura física do som e na maneira como o som é percebido, respectivamente. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa é expor as reflexões de Grisey em relação ao tempo musical. Outro objetivo é a composição de uma peça original baseada nestas reflexões. Justifica-se tal recorte pela evidente atenção dada ao tema 'tempo em música' por importantes compositores do século XX (como por exemplo, Messiaen, Boulez e Grisey). Tal importância pode ser verificada tanto na obra musical, quanto teórica destes compositores. Inicialmente foi realizado aprofundamento teórico por meio do estudo dos textos produzidos pelos principais representantes e estudiosos da Música Espectral. Em seguida iniciou-se a redação da dissertação, que teve como foco a filosofia composicional de Grisey, e a composição da peça original, baseadas nas características e técnicas identificadas na primeira etapa da pesquisa / Abstract: Music is a temporal art, and its primary object, the sound, can only exist and be noticed when the dimension time is considered. Then, one believes that the discussion about sound-time relation in music is important for the contemporary composer.Gérard Grisey, composer and cofounder of one of the most important schools of composition of the second half of the 20th century (the Spectral Music), shows a singular understanding toward the musical phenomenon, especially about its development over time. His understanding is mainly based in researches in the field of acoustics and psychoacoustics, in other words, in the physical structure of sound and how it is perceived, respectively. The main objective of this research is to expose the thinking about musical time by Grisey. Another objective is to compose an original musical piece based on this thinking. This outline is justified by the evident attention that important composers of the 20th century (as Messiaen, Boulez and Grisey) gave to the subject "time in music". Such importance can be verified either in their musical and theoretical works. Initially, a study of the main bibliography produced by the leading composers and experts in Spectral Music was accomplished. Then the writing process of the thesis began, which was focused on the compositional philosophy of Grisey, and the composition of the original musical piece, based on the characteristics and techniques identified in the first part of this research / Mestrado / Musica / Mestre em Música

A dissertação está organizada em duas etapas distintas, mas não disjuntas: uma mais teórica e especulativa e outra mais prática. Para isso, levantamos algumas das possíveis referências bibliográficas, tanto técnicas e teóricas, quanto poéticas, musicais e composicionais, utilizadas pelos principais compositores e pesquisadores pertencentes à Música Espectral, como os denominados pioneiros, Tristan Murail, Gérard Grisey e Huguues Dufourt. Segue a apresentação de algumas "recriações timbrísticas" desenvolvidas no repertório composicional, técnico e conceitual da Música Espectral. Dessa forma, os possíveis resultados práticos da utilização conceitual do termo "recriação" se relacionam, especulativamente, com as principais ferramentas e processos desenvolvidos pela música espectral. Ainda, no que o desenvolvimento prático deste trabalho, o Capítulo 3 realiza uma abordagem analítica, assumindo como seus objetos de análise as obras mémoire/érosion (1975-76), de Tristan Murail e Speakings (2008), de Jonathan Harvey e tem, como suporte metodológico, as pesquisas realizadas anteriormente, além da utilização, quando possível, dos recursos técnicos oferecidos por ambientes computacionais, como o OpenMusic. O último capítulo apresenta uma série de produções composicionais como os resultados práticos dos desenvolvimentos teóricos e analíticos realizados durante esse trabalho de pesquisa / Abstract: This research work, organized mainly in two distinct but not disjoint steps: a more theoretical and speculative one and another a little more practical, aims to bring all the possible compositional procedures used by the aesthetical and musical movement known as Spectral Music, which it grounds on the subject about "timbral re-creation", as well as the possible contributions of this approach towards to a Spectral Music's conceptual basis. In this sense, some possible references will be raised, both theoretical/technical and musical/compositional/poetic, used by all the major composers and researchers belonging to Spectral Music, as the ones so-called pioneers, Tristan Murail, Gérard Grisey and Hugues Dufourt as well. At this point, it will be presented some possible examples of "timbral re-creation" developed inside the Spectral Music's compositional, conceptual and technical repertoire. In this sense, it will be speculated some possible practical applicability contributions on the conceptual usages of "re-creation" related to the key tools and music processes developed by Spectral Music. Even so, with respect to the practical development of this research work, an analytical approach will be held, taking as its own analysis' objects Tristan Murail's mémoire/erosion (1975-76) and Jonathan Harvey's Speaking (2008), assuming its results as the truly methodological background. Finally, a series of compositional works will be presented such as a practical return to the theoretical and analytical developments performed during the Master Degree research work / Mestrado / Processos Criativos / Mestre em Música

This article discusses the conception and creation of space in works by Giacinto Scelsi and Gérard Grisey. Based on the fact that both composers conceived of space as closely related to the energetic, internal structure of sound, I propose a textural approach that emphasizes the interlinear relationship to examine the construction of space in their work. In two works for solo instruments, Ygghur and L’Âme ouverte, Scelsi generates numerous micro-vibrational movements and timbral contrasts from a drone voice, creating a sense of space. In the third movement of Grisey’s Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil space is created through an imitative polyphonic writing associated with the poetic idea of echo. The textural writing in these works shows the decisive role of movement in the creation of sonic space, inspired by the energetic character of sound.

Em 2010 foi concluído Mestrado junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Música da UNICAMP, cujo tema principal foram as reflexões de Gérard Grisey acerca do tempo musical, apresentadas segundos as ideias e conceitos registrados pelo próprio compositor em seus escritos. Após a imersão no seu pensamento composicional viu-se necessário verificar como ele traduziu em música tais estruturas. Assim, o objetivo principal do presente trabalho é averiguar como o compositor construiu suas estruturas musicais, procurando as ressonâncias com sua produção teórica. Para isso foram escolhidas três peças de distintas fases composicionais de Grisey: Tempus ex machina (1979), Talea (1986) e Vortex Temporum (1994-96). Outro objetivo foi encontrar elementos do processo criativo do compositor que tivessem sido influenciados por teorias vigentes na década de 1970, especialmente a Teoria da Informação. A metodologia consistiu no estudo de bibliografia especializada, e na quantificação e análise dos principais elementos estruturais das peças escolhidas. Como resultados podem-se destacar: 1) elaboração de ferramenta de análise segundo taxa de entropia e informação; 2) identificação das estruturas fundamentais das três peças analisadas; 3) composição de peças originais a partir do estudo conceitual. Após o estudo detalhado das três peças verificou-se que as mesmas técnicas de manipulação dos materiais são preservadas ao decorrer da obra do compositor. A novidade se restringe especialmente à maneira como ele organizou formalmente os processos de transformação, atitude motivada pela necessidade de introduzir maior imprevisibilidade em sua música / Abstract: This thesis is the result of a research conducted since 2008. In 2010 was completed a Master Degree at UNICAMP, whose main theme was Gérard Grisey's reflections on musical time, presented according to ideas and concepts by the composer himself in his writings. After immersion in his compositional thinking it became necessary to check how he translated into music such structures. Thus, the main objective of this work is to investigate how the composer has built his musical structures, looking for resonances with his theoretical production. For this three pieces from Grisey¿s distinct compositional phases were chosen: Tempus ex machina (1979), Talea (1986) e Vortex Temporum (1994-96). Another objective was to find elements of the composer¿s creative process that had been influenced by prevailing theories in the 1970s, especially information theory. The methodology consisted in the study of relevant literature, and, quantification and analysis of the major structural elements of the chosen pieces. The results that can be highlighted are: 1) the development of an analysis tool by rate of entropy and information, 2) identification of the fundamental structures of the three pieces analyzed, 3) composition of original pieces based on the conceptual study. After the detailed study of the three parts it was found that the same techniques for handling the materials were preserved throughout the work of the composer. The novelty is restricted especially the way he formally organized the processes of transformation, attitude motivated by the need to introduce greater unpredictability in their music / Doutorado / Processos Criativos / Doutor em Música

La naissance de la musique spectrale et du modèle compositionnel qui la sous-tend a été conditionnée par un contexte technoscientifique spécifique, au carrefour de disciplines aussi diverses que la physique, la psychoacoustique, l’électronique, l’informatique ou la philosophie. Le présent travail de thèse en retrace certaines des étapes. Tout en remontant jusqu’à l’avènement de la science moderne au XVIIe siècle, elle aboutit à une caractérisation de ce courant esthétique comme un exemple de révolution non-cartésienne dans le sens que Bachelard donna au terme dans son Nouvel Esprit Scientifique. Parallèlement, elle reprend les acquis musicaux antérieurs et montre comment la musique spectrale s’est constituée en thématisant les tentatives de systématisation du son complexe comme élément porteur de forme apparus tout au long du XXe siècle. / The rise of spectral music and of the compositional model that lies at its base has been conditioned by a specific technoscientific context, at a crossroads between disciplines as diverse as physics, psychoacoustics, electronics, computer sciences and philosophy. The present thesis retraces some of its stages. While going back to the advent of modern science in the 17th century, it leads to a characterization of this aesthetic movement as an example of a non- Cartesian revolution in the sense that Bachelard gave the term in The New Scientific Spirit. At the same time, it considers previous musical advances and shows how spectral music has formed itself by ‘thematizing’ attempts from throughout the 20th century to systematize complex sounds as form-bearing elements.

This essay provides a thorough reading of Gilles Deleuze’s (1925–95) philosophy of nature and the way music relates to this philosophy. It does so with regards to changes in the view of nature in 20th century science, especially in the theories of self-organisation as developed by, among others, Ilya Prigogine. Deleuze’s metaphysics is viewed in relation to these theories, and is also compared to the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, which is related to classical science. The essay then investigates certain key issues in Deleuze’s philosophy concerning difference and univocity (or immanence), developed in his doctoral thesis Différence et répétition (1968). Also, certain aspects of the further evolution of this philosophy of immanence in Mille plateaux (1980), co-written with Félix Guattari, are examined. The essay then studies the role of aesthetics in Deleuze’s philosophy, and the way he transforms the aesthetics of Kant. The following chapter deals with Deleuze & Guattari’s primary text concerning music, ”De la ritournelle” in Mille plateaux. In this text, they develop a highly abstract concept of music, which, in their philosophy, is: 1) granted a cosmological reach regarding rhythms and motives; 2) made an essential aspect of the emergence of art, which they find in animals creating a territory (especially in the songbird); 3) used to discuss Baroque/Classicist, Romantic and 20th century musical styles. Apart from analysing these aspects, this chapter focuses on 20th century music, with a thorough examination of Gustav Mahler and of spectral music, demonstrating that Deleuze’s philosophy can deepen the understanding of this music. The chapter also discusses problematic tendencies in Deleuzian research on contemporary music, which does not take the entirety of Deleuze’s philosophy of nature into account. This essay argues that such knowledge is necessary to correctly examine the implications of Deleuze & Guattari’s philosophy of music. The lack of awareness of Deleuze’s philosophy of nature is also significant in the critique that Deleuze’s aesthetics has received by Jacques Rancière, which is analysed in the final chapter. This chapter also discusses Michael Gallope’s reading of Deleuze & Guattari, in which he makes a distinction between a metaphysical and an ethical-aesthetic philosophy of music. Although the relation between metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics, is key to understanding their philosophy of music, this essay argues that Gallope’s idea of what sort of music they advocate is incorrect.
