Goals:
-
Deeper understanding of musical syntax and its
meaning for musical communication
-
Learning about different types of syntactic
relations
-
Ability to identify syntax principles in given music examples and to apply those principles in musical
studies
Subjects:
-
Redundant and entropy assemblies of musical
objects
-
Semantic paradigm of musical objects (continuum
of "icon - index - symbol"), importance of icon-like designates
-
Basic patterns of element sequences: vector,
bow, pendulum and random forms and their combinations (linear sequence
per parameter, hierarchical per parameter, between different voices per
parameters, between different parameters, macro parameters such as
density, etc.)
-
Operations: concatenation, split, addition,
subtraction, filtering, interpolation, interchange, etc.
-
Small and big number of elements and their
figurative potential (figurative and summative perception)
-
Anticipation and frame redundancy (probability
of subsequent elements), redundancy of entropy
-
Contrast phenomenon: fusion power of similarity
and of contrast, relativity of contrast, binary contrast
-
Hierarchical principles (number of hierarchies,
latent hierarchy, group processes, relative groups, presence hierarchy,
contrast hierarchy, binary hierarchy)
-
Perceptional principles (resulting patterns
through perception, different interpretations with each new listening of
the same content, moving focus in polyphony, musical foreground and
background, optimum parameter ranges of differentiation, periodical and
aperiodical information potential)
-
Simulation and analysis models
Hours: 12-16
