Projection of methods of electronic music in the piano work of Tristan Murail (on the example of “Works and Days” cycle)
Abstract
This article proves that due to research in the field of acoustics and development of electronic music, completely new principles, new forms, and new ideas emerged in the piano work of Tristan Murail that related to the handling of sound, interactions with time, volume, and texture. Computer technology and new knowledge in the field of acoustics became a resource that largely determined the development of the instrumental academic music in the second half of the 20th century. In this article “Works and Days” cycle and other piano compositions by Tristan Murail were analyzed through the prism of models developed in the field of electronic music and acoustics. For each analyzed model, the modes of its application were explained. The abovementioned models include those like echo and reverberation model, loop method, ring modulation, time remapping.
