Aspects of the common implications in time and metric in collective free improvisation in the recorded work: Musicking Shapes

Summary/Abstract: During the production of Eduardo Lopes’ record Musiking Shapes, several aspectswere identified that suggested an unpremeditated collective consciousness in aspects suchas metrics and pulse, in a work that was based on unconventional notation, without anytime-related indication. The intention was to identify a kinetic of collective pulse withcommon time and metric implications. The methodology applied involved auditoryobservation through spectrograms and the respective transcription in the musical notationof the recorded music. When triangulating these data, substantial results of thecommunication that underlies the interpretation of this unconventional notation werefound. It was possible to prove an effective organization through what we call PrevalentSound Events (PSE) and that these are determining factors for the collective organizationthat typifies musical discourse, consubstantiating the spontaneous organization of thesemoments in Vertical Agreement Sound Events, Horizontal Agreement Sound Events andAbsolute Agreement Events.
