UIDB/00693/2020 UIDP/00693/2020; This paper enquires into the nature of the connections between memory and certain genres of contemporary art music whose unique features rely particularly on our early mnemonic processes. Specific sound configurations of this music are often associated, during listening, with visual and tactile sensorial qualities and with abstract geometries. They are perceived fundamentally as...
UIDB/00693/2020 UIDP/00693/2020; By way of a multidisciplinary approach, this article advances the idea that our listening to certain practices of contemporary art music (electroacoustic, classical contemporary, and electronic music) relies on precise connections to the early stage of perception. These styles of music are characterised by essential sound configurations that evolve in time, thus eliciting a sens...
UID/EAT/00693/2013; This article proposes a perspective on certain practices within experimental music based on a particular understanding of sonic materialism. By tracing correlations and marking divergences between post-spectralism, minimalism, electroacoustic music, glitch and IDM’s offshoots, this article reflects on sound-in-itself, the conception of space and time in music, poietics, perceptual and cultur...
This paper enquires into the ways in which listeners perceive certain practices of today’s experimental music. Trained and untrained listeners evaluate short musical excerpts coming from post–spectral and contemporary compositions (G. F. Haas), as well as glitch and electronic music (Pan Sonic) but all belonging to a recognized aesthetic frame of references. The work explores the potential of semantic descripto...

UID/EAT/00693/2013; This paper presents a particular perspective, shared across various currents of today's music that focuses on sound itself as a complex entity. Through the analysis of certain fundamental musical elements and sonic characteristics, this study explores a new method for comparing different genres of music characterized by a similar approach to sound. Taking benefit of theoretical and perceptua...
