THE ELEMENTAL CONCEPT OF MOVING IN WESTERN WRITTEN MUSIC,

 

movements generate music

 

Movement is formalized by the following variables:

1. Position
2. Orientation
3. Speed
4. Energy gives Force

 

 

E -> faculty of body system to create work [?]
F -> All causes capable to produce an effect. [5]

 

P O S E

is the basic 4D field describing all movements on Earth

POSE can be scored by the way of writing, i.e. memorized:

 

A. different techniques of playing musical instruments

•• Physical movements of muscles activities in space and time

including:

• formalization of musical instrument's shapes:
materials-geometry-motor functions-sound result

• formalization of muscles' activities:
tension-relaxation, reflexes => forces < energy

• formalization of movements generating the sounds:
actions decomposed by POSE on instrument

• interactions between man and instrument -> feedback
energy source-action-excitator mechanism- modulator mechanism-
vibrating structure - resonator - sound result - reacting: da capo.

• "photography of playing-techniques" (in French, "mode de jeux"):
constitution of a collection of resulting effects

• memorization of "playing-manners":
the characters of hic et nunc (here-and-now) being

[7]

B. different communications between musicians playing together

•• psychological movements
___brain activities

including

• the organization of sounding the human reactions[1]:
imitation-integration-hesitation-provocation-etc

• the organization of the context of playing:
the where-and-how process

• the uncontrollable merging between musicians:
Emotion => the origin of sacred feeling

 

 

C. different types of scores drawing movements

•• elemental movement marks to draw

including

A => 2D drawing DIPT in time

• "Ourdission" for 3 flutes with 3D moving sound in inflatable clear tube,
• "Erre" for big orchestra in countryside placed in inter-connected lines,
• "Miss Terra" for real and virtual piano in an amplified public-box-hall

This writing technique it calls Flow-Music has something with speed.

B => 2D drawing FAT in time

• the Romanian composers' group of Timbral-Music and the Xenakis' Upic.

C => 2D symbolic drawing POSE

• "Is is impossible to give a title to this phenomenon because unspeakable beyond extreme edges of space and time has no name" for classical guitar played with wood bow

The score is drawn with an alphabet describing the POSE on strings:
Position - Orientation - Speed - Pressure, of wood-bow on strings.

The basic POSE to write music is nearest drawing music than writing music.
To Draw music is to create for each project a new alphabet. [2]

 

P O S E combined with D I P T and F A T

The digital para-matters of FAT and DIPT can be driven by POSE:

All these 28 combinations are attributes of appreciation [= a creation imagined] and can be recombine to create different dimensions.

 

IN 3-DIMENSIONS AND MORE:
n-dimension spaces creation

We had seen how to manage DIPT and FAT by POSE in 2-dimensions spaces,
but if we put together these "hot and cold" sensations in dimension it results multidimensional spaces like:

for example

Dimension 1: from FULL NOISE to SINE
Dimension 2: from STRONG ATTACK SOUNDS to SOFT ATTACK SOUNDS
Dimension 3: from SHORT SOUNDS to LONG SOUNDS
Dimension 4: from STRONG BEAT to NO BEAT FEELING
Dimension 5: from FILTERED SOUNDS to UNFILTERED SOUND
Dimension 6: from 3 NOTES CHORDS to 96 NOTES CHORDS
Dimension 7: from CHAOTIC SHAPE to SIMPLE SHAPE
etc.

Then we draw different lines of wander to manage movements of the music and we get

MAPPING MORPHED MUSIC

let's go for a trip


NOTES
[5] with constrained : m.kg.s-2 when it meets an obstacle, example: air density, tiredness, stress, other disturbtions... it means all the time!

[1] see the theoretical work of Vinko Globokar in Musique en Jeu about basic reactions of musicians in improvisation context.
