За музикалния колаж като подход в world musiс
On the Musical Collage as an Approach in World Music

Summary/Abstract: The text is based on the “Balkan trace” in World Music - the transformation of a local traditional music into building material of the modem global music industry. The object of the research interest is the musical collage - a sound tissue formed of differently structured sound layers - as a formal means of expression and technique for structuring a musical entity, and as a meaningful expression of the musical picture of the world during the electronic age, according to the postmodem aesthetics. Special attention is paid to basic concepts such as World Music (with an emphasis on Bulgarian research interpretation) and “musical collage”. The latter is examined from several different angles: acoustic, psychological, structural, and semantic. Emphasis is placed upon postmodernistic collaging of local elements in global popular music. One can enter the kitchen of the collage through syntactical musical analysis of the piece “Ederlezi” by Goran Bregovich. The cultural theory view on the musical collage under coricideration leads to the conclusion that the Bulgarian and the Balkan ethnic building material of global music collage has exotic character, highly appreciated in the rejecting enthnocentrism World Music.
