Bagatelas d'Alma: Composer and Interpreter, Co-Participants in the Creative Process
contrabass; Viola; Interface interpreter-composer, sub-harmonics, chamber music.
From a newly created duo (viola and double bass) came an insight to bring this musical dialogue to the academic milieu. This work basically addresses the interaction between the composer Samuel Cavalcanti and the performers Vinícius Gomes on bass and Prof. Paulo França (guest violist), and has the purpose of discussing intimate and relational factors of musical creation in direct collaboration with the interpreters in the elaboration of musical ideas. The work Bagatelas d'Alma, for double bass (acoustic and electric) and viola, was specially designed for this work. It is a play idealized in nine movements, many of which are inspired by sayings related to the word soul. It is also intended to include electronic interventions such as: intrauterine and postpartum recordings; As well as electronic bricolages with advertising jingles and overlapping voices, whether from well-known personalities or from the performers themselves. Another additional electronic aspect is the use of amplification effects and real-time interventions such as the use of microphones, pedal and electric bass. The conception - the creative process itself and its peculiarities -, therefore, rather than execution itself, is the central object of the present work: the relation of affection of the interpretative knowledge, of the curiosities of the performer, his inquiries; And the provocations of the composer, his questions, and the discussion that led to a work still in progress (work in progress). For this purpose, compositional and interpretative aspects, bibliographical research, recordings of audio conversations and recordings, as well as theoretical references such as BARTOLOZZI (1982), BORÉM (1998), DOMENICI (2005), RAY (2010) and others were used in the methodology. The final result of the research is to compile in a single document information that offers helpful subsidies to composers and performers for collaborative musical thinking and doing.
