A Harmonic Trail in the Alps
This paper describes the characteristics of a work located in the Alps, on the Rittner Horn (see fig. The term 'harmonic' does not refer to the conventional notion of musical harmony (no sounds are involved), but to the ancient discipline of harmonics, as we will see later. The area is above the timber line, the chosen path offers a wide and constant panorama, has a gentle slope, an appropriate length (860 m) and an attractive flora. Furthermore,…
New and rediscovered Zeitgebers in recent music
Timing procedures in contemporary music present a highly diversified and complex picture. Next to the numerous new compositional techniques which have been developed and which offer fresh approaches to the organization of time in a musical work on strictly intramusical grounds, we notice that composers make recourse to new exogenous factors which go far beyond the traditional ones, such as the conditions and limitations imposed by dramatic, ritua…
Temporal Notations: Four Lessons in the Visualization of Time
This article presents and discusses some notational procedures applicable to four areas of human temporalities: times felt, times remembered and imagined, space-times observed, and times designed. In the notations, the formal and even aesthetic aspects are as important as the transmission of ‘objective’ data. The author stresses the importance of developing analog codes for temporal configurations, i.e. codes that transcend intradisciplinary conf…
Creative Time-Organization Versus Subsonic Noises
Much has been written and said about music's time, much less- at least in recent epochs-about time's music. Today this most subtle, yet most powerful form of music finds fewer and fewer listeners. It has become, in fact, harder and harder to listen to. The "congruent melodies," i.e. "the rhythms of times which were given to us to alleviate our labors" (as the 13th-century music theorist had put it) have long since been silenced and drowned by sub…
