Sound&Composition  Musical Objects

Musical Objects Musical objects are objects of perception, relatively isolated from their musical surrounding. Large musical objects have the tendency to become too isolated and therefore to loose their ability to communicate with other musical objects. Small musical objects have the tendency to melt and to loose their ability to stand for themselves, becoming together a kind of one large musical object. Medium musical objects are characterized by a balance of isolation and interactive potential that allows them on one hand still to be recognized as they are, but on the other hand to be split easily into smaller recognizable units or to be grown into larger object assemblies.

Musical IQ of Object Relations The number of possible and well distinguishable relations between musical objects within a certain musical structure can be considered as "musical IQ". Since the definition of a musical object includes the potential of being recognized by the listener, the musical IQ is naturally related to the musical experience of the listener and therefore a phenomenon of cultural musical accumulation.

Object Oriented Composition Composition that focuses on variety and richness of relations between well recognizable musical objects can be considered as "object oriented composition". The theory of object relations in music is called musical counterpoint. It is characterized by categories of contrast and similarity, simultaneously valid on different hierarchical musical levels and in various musical parameters.
