Resumen de "Des pas sur l'invisible". The octave space and the self-multiplication process
The purpose of this paper is to describe the process, from a composition standpoint, from which my piece "Des pas sur le invisible" (2016) for clarinet or solo saxophone, was composed. This work is part of a PhD in music in which I propose a model of composition based on a self-multiplication process, and was created within the context of the Frederico de Freitas Interpretation Prize, Universidade de Aveiro (May 2016 edition).
Starting from a pre-composing point of view, we will consider the octave musical interval as a metaphor for the self-multiplication process. This reflection allows us to think the octave as a space and therefore, how the attribution of this extended dimension can be rethought in music, leading us to new approaches of the composition practice.
The piece "Des pas sur le invisible" will show how this approach can be accomplished, serving to illustrate a thought that takes place outside the proper world of musical elements and considerations that can be decisive in the musical discourse. It will show how the principle behind the conception of this work can develop perspectives for the composition notation practice and for future research.
