Excellent. I had no idea that a big part of music that I loved in scoring in films was spectralism after all. Such beautiful and ominous sounds. All kinds of tension with such simplicity at the root of it all. Thanks for the vid!

Interesting! I've always liked this sort of composition based on the harmonic series. I find it very relaxing to listen to. Maybe because the mathematical relations of the tones are 'just' and incredibly satisfying to listen to. Never realised it had a 'genre' name (spectralism). I would recommend Tom Heasley's 'On the sensations of tone' which uses a tuba very rich in harmonics.

This is an excellent explanation of a musical style that emphasizes timbre and completely rejects the traditional function of Western classical music which was to recount a musical narrative in which we follow the development and variation of musical ideas. The spectralists often skated on the thin ice between music and noise and asked us to reconsider of definition of beauty.

😊 Very nice informative video. I was introduced to the principles of "spectral music" and/or "polychromatic music" 5 years ago, through the digital works of Dolores Catherino and the hundred year old quarter tone piano works of Ivan Wyschnegradsky... As an aficionado of electronic music it's very nice to see that quite a few "classical" music composers have worked on tone and timbre in multiple ways... My very very first "meeting" with "different music" was, as an 8 year old child, watching 2001, a Space Odyssey, and hearing György Ligeti's music 😅Quite the experience!

I'm afraid I don't have any ground-breaking insights to offer but I just finished closely listening on headphones... what a spectacular and other-worldly sound-experience! Well done sir. I also enjoyed your "intro to spectralism" video -- very helpful for understanding how the theory/aesthetic of spectralism is actually employed in the compositional process, which I haven't otherwise been able to learn from various articles and entries on the subject which are always (perhaps somewhat necessarily*) vague when it comes to specifics. *I'm reminded of an old quote that 'writing about music is like dancing about architecture' ... so true, no?

One needs to be a musicologist or advanced student to follow the terminology here. How many have those qualifications? No doubt your presentation is professional, and accurate, but as common listener, I feel one needs to make a substantial cognitive effort to appreciate Spectralism. Not the case with minimalism like Steve Reich which gives immediate emotionally engagement. What do these two styles come from historically, do they overlap? Where have I gone wrong? Thank you.
@franciscodanieldiazgonzale20965 ай бұрын
In my opinion, there is a case for sound sensual appreciation without the need of a story behind. Minimalistic music can be easier because we all are exposed to it daily without knowing and they use in general well known instruments pitched in conventional ways. There are not many parameters for your mind to tune to that music outside our common experience and also its proper language, i.e., structures, simetries, shapes and schemas are not far from other more common music. So it sounds familiar more than new. When you start to add more new structures and techniques to a sound piece that are less used or common you are adding more work to do. And sometimes there is a magic moment of realisation and everything comes together in a new wave of sensual appreciation. But we need to realise that appreciation comes with exposing ourselves to the new stimulus in a good environment and moment and with familiarity and memory.

Wow thanks for the response! I made that comment several years ago, well better late than never. You write like a professional and emphatically I am not. But i understand and appreciate your remarks. This one could boil down to the Modernist credo "make it new." and this applies to all the arts. But doesn't the listener find the music they love compulsively listenable? We never get tired of the "story" to use your term.

@@christophermorgan3261 It is my understanding that art as a job mapped to new creations or unique things is a concept that was born in the renaissance. Before what they called artist, we called now artisan, as it is skills more than novelty what it was about. Anyway that was then. The issue for many listeners it seems to boil down to understand a piece of sound not only as an abstract entity with its own life as a sensual perception that maybe triggers in you (in your mind) several other things, it has to have a rationale, and I don't mean a criteria, but a story behind, a purpose, a transcription. Something that you can explain using human language. That is not what music was about at least since mid-Mahler period. So, it is no wonder composers dealing with only sound shaping, sound awareness, using any material and arrangements, any technique and any kind of structured shape are lost for most listeners. And they carried on like the public is following them, so they challenged each other, they dropped old techniques from previous generation to new soundscapes etc. Now after more than a century, it is understandable, there are few hooks or motivations to deal with this music. And it is a pity. You don't need to learn anything about the music being performed before being performed, same as before. You just have to have an open mind and be able to feel and to reason about your feelings and whatever the music triggers. If the tonality or harmonics is too alien, the usual trick of half the loudness, play in the background, do something else, will ever work. Just, let the sounds to be familiar, and people can, in my opinion, have a better picture of what is there that has beauty or value, or not (there are still bad composers).
