Capítulo | Computer-Assisted Music as Means of Multidimensional Performance and Creation: A Post Approach to "Singularity Study 3"
Henrique Portovedo, investigador integrado do INET-md e coordenador do seu grupo de investigação dedicado à Criação, Performance e Investigação Artística, é autor de um dos capítulos do livro Innovation in Music: Innovation Pathways (Routledge, 2025), coeditado por Jan-Olof Gullö, Russ Hepworth-Sawyer, Dave Hook, Mark Marrington, Justin Paterson, Rob Toulson.
O capítulo intitula-se "Computer-Assisted Music as Means of Multidimensional Performance and Creation: A Post Approach to "Singularity Study 3"t" e explora a forma como a computação e a tecnologia digital transformaram a performance musical contemporânea, tanto ao nível do virtuosismo como da criação artística. Através da perspetiva teórica da Performance e Criação Multidimensional, são analisadas novas possibilidades expressivas que integram meios acústicos, eletrónicos e sistemas computacionais. Além disso, o capítulo documenta o processo de criação da obra Singularity Study 3, ilustrando como a tecnologia pode ampliar a prática instrumental e a performance musical.
Resumo (apenas em inglês)
Paradigm shifts in contemporary musical performance have allowed new models of virtuosity to be developed, as well as elevating the performance itself to the status of a creative element. From a post-humanist perspective computing has become fundamental to artistic practice and aesthetic experience, as since the end of the 20th century has seen the emergence of genres and artistic expressions according to two principles: the integration of tradition and technological means; and the rupture of all contexts that cannot be seen as directly derived from digital technology. My recent work has involved identifying the various processes of musical expression in the field of new music, including acoustic and electronic media, as well as exploring performative possibilities mediated by computer systems. New mediums are seen as possible extensions of instrumental practice and available for creative purposes during compositional and performative processes. This chapter supports the development of a theoretical perspective that I have formulated, named Multidimensional Performance and Creation, while also documenting the creation of the work “Singularity Study 3”.
