Some Higher Resolution wouldn't hurt, right?

[didgig]

@gilbertoagostinho Yes, I need to do this...

[didgig]

Hi Seymour! No, it is a kind of reduction of main melodic material. I aims to show that Part´s music is completly determinated, a true algorithm... although yet all emotive and beautiful. Kind of "mathematics as art"... :)

I have no effin idea what you guys are talking about but that is one sublime ass piece.

[SingHouse]

why is this a 'graphical analysis'? All I see is a score where I can barely make out the notes, a bit of green highlighting.

[barbecru]

@stuartk20 yes it is !!! and it seems we are some, not to understand what this analyzis is and mean :)) Arvo part music is one of the most constructed but the one which needs the less brain, the more heart.

Se essa "Análise gráfica" faz sentido pra você, seria legal compartilhar como ela faz sentido pra você.

@gilbertoagostinho I think higher resolution means three things: (1) get rid of the static in the sound; (2) make the visual clearer, perhaps you can only show part of the page at a time in order to make your points; (3) put some explanatory words to help the viewer understand what your chart is all about. This looks like it might be interesting, but it is unintelligible at this point. I anxiously await your improvements. Thanks.

@parazsdavid You can't define what is (art) music and what's not based on personal preferences. "Each artistic medium should seek that which makes it unique among the possible mediums and then purify itself of anything other than expression of its own uniqueness as a form. - Clement Greenberg". Art ask questions about itself, it's own history, art is autonomous. Even today with the raise of "ignorant art" they're dialogging with art history. [PS: You can do that with pop (cultural) music]

I'm a fan of Arvo Pärt, I'm aware of all those theorizations about what is Art (I'm a Visual Artist) and I have to praise Schoenberg's works, he was an artist such as Duchamp with his Fountain. You can see a lot of influence from Schoenberg on early Arvo Pärt's works, but since Schoenberg was able to 'not follow the rules' in some situations, Pärt was too. Arvo Pärt mastered working with resonance between pairs of notes, that what touches me emotionally, but I still praise Schoenberg's works.

@mrpossibilities I agree completely - the focus never wavers from the emotional thread
