AGELASTA: a ilusão na composição musical

Abstract

The present article intends to present and discuss the role of the perceptive system and its relations with the musical universe. In this context, the concept of sound illusion assumes a relevant role in the definition, analysis and interpretation of this relationship in the process of musical composition and interpretation. Considering the objectives of this article the changes to the musical text will be essentially addressed through the following characteristics: time, timbre, reverberation, structure and form. Based on this understanding the empirical course assumes two paths: (1) analysis of some examples of Western Music repertoire with the aim of categorizing and perceiving how these characteristics are assumed as elements of sound perceptual illusion; (2) composition of an original musical work, where some of the aspects resulting from the previous phase are explored from the point of view of musical creation.
