INSTRUMENTAL WRITING AS A TERRITORY TO THE COMPOSITION WITH SONORITIES

Abstract

This article summarizes the path that allowed me to formulate the following hypothesis, which guides my PhD research: in touch with “eletroacoustic sensibility”, the singularities of instrumental writing actualize its own virtualities and become a territory in which any tool can arise and connect to any other tool, with the only proposal of making a sonority based composition. It’s important, though, to take eletroacoustic music as a “sensibility mode”, heard also in many instrumental compositions (Caesar, 1994), especially on the works of composers who tried new approaches for instrumental writing (as did Varèse, for example). In a future step, analytical and compositional strategies are expected to be developed, through the study of sonorities oriented contemporary instrumental music and its technical and aesthetical acquisitions.
