Abstract

The goal of this research was to develop compositional techinques that enhance space as a musical parameter. Therefore, I thought about the posibilities of sound spatialization and its state as discurse structuring. In other words, I researched on the capacity of space of constitute itself as a form-bearing dimension in musical discourse. The techniques developed were tested in three compositions that stringed along this process (2013-2014): Omaggio a Salvatore Sciarrino, four alto sax; Girones, four mixed voices groups; Mutaciones, mixed sextet (pierrot quintet + vibraphone).
