Electro-acoustic Musical Practice in Bulgaria: Specifics and Approaches

Summary/Abstract: The practice of contemporary Bulgarian electro-acoustic music is analyzed from informational, theoretical, psychological and aesthetic perspectives in regard with its including in different information systems of various types. Contemporary electro-acoustic music is defined as artistic activity, in which sound creation and specific professional musical skills and innovations predominate, even when the product contains elements from other arts or activities (text, graphics, video). It is predominantly instrumental music, the use of the human voice is admissible but the figure of the singer as a rule does not identify it before the listeners as is often the case in pop and rock music. The principal thing here relates to the creative work with sound (sound design) and space (stereo, quadro, surround) which frequently predetermines the character of the composition itself The creative (non-standard) use of electronic and computer technique is obligatory in these processes as well as in the final presentation in a studio or live performance. Along with synthesizers, electric guitars, and computer generators of sound, the electro-acoustic music today also uses traditional sources: human voices, classical, folklore or exotic instruments, sounds from nature or the urban medium, but they have to pass through essential treatment with computers or other devices of contemporary electro-acoustic technique. Rather this is one of the principal reasons to name this music electro­ acoustic unlike the traditional purely electronic music of vanguard character.
