Vers une musique numérique vivante : Regard sur le processus créatif de quatre œuvres musicales
This Master's thesis presents four musical works composed whilst researching numeric music. The description of their context of creation and their analysis indicate a methodological approach inspired by improvisation, collaboration and interpretation of music. First, an introduction describes my musical background and sources of inspiration in addition to describing the origins and objectives of my project. The first chapter presents the context, within which the four musical works were created. De velours et d’acier is an acousmatic work inspired by metal music. It is organized around a set of referential sounds. Un pied dans ma poubelle is a mixed music work composed specifically for the contemporary jazz band [iks]. My understanding of improvisation has greatly evolved with the composition of this work. The piece called Enfant Robot au cœur fondant was made during my research for integrating electroacoustic and instrumental components within a united music. Druckabfall is an acousmatic work born after a collaboration within the world of theater. The second chapter provides a discussion on mixed music and its implications in the creative process. The final chapter looks critically across my corpus to extract some aesthetic concerns. I then propose a methodology of composition and discuss the improvisation and collaboration as means to develop my creative process. This discussion allows me to enunciate my future musical pratices.
