Música eletroacústica mista cênica: aspectos composicionais e interpretativos da série reflexos

Abstract

In this thesis, strategies that can bring general audiences closer to electroacoustic mixed music by means of integrating instrumental performance and scenic elements were investigated. It aims at answering whether the incorporation of these elements could enhance the connection between performer and electroacoustic sounds, thus facilitating their reception. The hypothesis is that, by establishing clear or playful links between gesture and sound, often producing the illusion of cause and effect, listening becomes more accessible. The main goal was to compose the series named as Reflexos, in which scenic aspects strengthen the interaction between music and performance. The specific objectives include: reflect on the relationship between Electroacoustic Mixed Music and Scenic Music; develop a notation system that addresses the synchronization between sound layer and scenic action; create the electroacoustic part mainly from processed instrumental sounds; and carry out performances that foster critical reflection. The methodology combined theoretical research, compositional experimentation, and performative practice. The result engendered a hybrid proposal, coined as Scenic Electroacoustic Mixed Music, which, by articulating sound, gesture, and visuality, demonstrates potential for reducing barriers in the listening experience of experimental music.
