The author describes a paradigm shift in which current models of sound and music are replaced by models of complexity. In terms of sound, the shift moves away from linear (e.g. Fourier) models in acoustics and parameter response models in psychoacoustics towards multi-dimensional concepts of timbre, volume and temporal dynamic shape. In terms of composition, the shift is away from its literate and deterministic aspects, as well as the notion of art as abstract and context free. The result is a concept of music where sound and structure are integrated as well as music and context. Examples are drawn from the composer's work with granular synthesis and environmental sound composition. |
