An Analytical Methodology for Acousmatic Music
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a procedure for the analysis of acousmatic music which was derived from the synthesis of top-down (knowledge driven) and bottom-up (datadriven) cognitive psychological views. The procedure is also a synthesis of research on primitive auditory scene analysis, combined with the research on acoustic, semantic, and syntactic factors in the perception of everyday environmental sounds. The procedure can be summarized as consisting of a number of steps: Segregation of sonic objects; Horizontal integration and/or segregation; Vertical integration and/or segregation; Assimilation and meaning.

Space-form and the acousmatic image
The analytical discussion of acousmatic music can benefit from being based on spatial concepts, and this article aims to provide a framework for investigation. A personal experience of soundscape listening is the starting point, and uncovers basic ideas relating to the disposition and behaviour of sounding content, and listening strategy. This enables the opening out of the discussion to includ...
متن کاملDigital Tools in the Analysis of Timbrally Based Music
The timbral elements in music analysis of have hitherto resisted systematic analysis due to the lack of tools to objectify them. This is increasingly important as modern composers exploit new acoustic resources. In this study a range of digital tools were applied to the analysis of acousmatic music, including scoring, analysis and modelling techniques. These tools are described and applied to a...
متن کاملCreating tangible spatial-musical images from physical performance gestures
Electroacoustic music has a longstanding relationship with gesture and space. This paper marks the start of a project investigating acousmatic spatial imagery, real gestural behaviour and ultimately the formation of tangible acousmatic images. These concepts are explored experimentally using motion tracking in a source-sound recording context, interactive parameter-mapping sonification in three...
متن کاملFracturing the Acousmatic: Merging Improvisation with Disassembled Acousmatic Music
This paper questions whether it is possible to integrate free (or controlled) improvisation with electroacoustic materials with pre-composed soundfiles in a ‘live’ performance. It contributes to the on-going debate about the role of the performer and the advantages and disadvantages of working live. At the heart of this paper is a compositional drive that remains rooted within the acousmatic tr...
