timbre and scale – origin's of musical harmony [1h]
ABSTRACT
The presentation aims to achieve a scientific understanding of the 'componere' process in music. This involves a brief introduction to sensory and neural sound perception and how consonance and
dissonance are constituted.
Using audio recordings of individual sounds, their analysis, and software calculations, the topic is initially approached mechanistically. From this newly gained perspective, relationships arise between the sound of an instrument, its scale, and the created music.
Furthermore, a composition technique emerges in which an old wooden box can sound just as interesting as an orchestral instrument, and I will discuss the influence Marcel Duchamp had on me when it comes to cookies and heating pipes. Illustrated through multiple sound examples.
arranging and audio production - at the intersection of a score and fft [2h]
ABSTRACT
what can't we see in the score, that becomes evident on the production side?
And how do we fill the potential gap? Short introduction to filling acoustical space with a finer eye for intonation, air vents rustling in the background, transients, the unplayable, phase
relationships and what makes a performance sound alive.
