  • @lovesGenet Totally agree with you!

  • @TheProgThinker

    in spectral music there are not real chords progressions.

    "harmony" is a word charged with meanings and wen you speak of harmony implicitly you refer to the functions of chords. What Grisey does is not related to chord progressions but is related to timbre.

    The superimpositions of partials (harmonic or inharmonic) is done in order to "build" a timbre not a chords prgresssion. Therefore to call this "harmony" even if not totally wrong is missleading.

  • @muttushiama But the harmony is implied by the succession of notes just like Bach solo pieces. The definition of harmony is "The combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions having a pleasing effect". Normally spectral pieces have multiple instruments to simultaneously sound harmonies but because this is a solo piece it has to be implied but it is still there.

  • @TheProgThinker

    well, usually by harmony musicians mean not only "chords" but mainly their functions/atractions/etc.

    therefore I agree with Sacawa wen he says there is no harmony but timbre.

    A timbre and it's overtones composition is not an harmony.

  • I didn't like that he said it has no harmony. Thats mostly what it is, its just not traditional harmony it's harmony derived from spectral analysis.

  • This is what needs to happen at contemporary music recitals.People don't know Sciarrino,Grisey,Boulez but with information given to them they might become fascinated and want to find out more .Ergo more people at concerts , more relevant dialogue and more music being written from vast points of creativity .Democritization should be the ideal -not groups of eclecticisms that only matter to those in academy. Where does this indifference or fear come from anyway. Shock has a short half-life.
