Easy lessons on spectralism. Composition techniques and history
This video it's part of my series in academic music/contemporary classical music. This week we have an explanation of the spectralist school of music composition, I explain the quarter-tone and 8th tone system. I tried to be brief and simple as in the majority of my videos. This topic it´s very long so if you want to know more about it I have opened my zoom lessons! for any student. DM me on instagram:

My microtonal Manifesto: why i don´t consider myself Xenharmonic nor Spectralist
มุมมอง 2934 ปีที่แล้ว
Call it what you want! I don´t care too much, I'm focused on the results, and if those results are conveying to the normal human being. I consider myself a scientist of sound. Through almost 14 years, I search for the beautiful harmonic progressions in microtonality. I arrived at spectralist/xenharmonic view when i was a teen. I met my math teacher and all went another way. the main difference ...
Where is Classical Music now ? Contemporary Classical oxymoron

In this video, I try to describe the context of Classical Music in its contemporary form, I made for pedagogical purposes and tries to be a brief introduction of these "genre" of music.

Are you out of tune ? Temperaments Vs Just Intonation
มุมมอง 2954 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video, we address the notion of the duality between Temperaments and Just Intonation. Did you know that music that you listen to all pop, jazz, rock, classical, it´s out of tune? It´s because of Equally divided temperaments. I try my best to explain this kinda hard topic... I used very reductionist analogies to make it very easy to understand.

Are you an academic musician ?
มุมมอง 4274 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my first video being a youtube content creator. My dream has always been sharing information. Making and online school so everybody can assist and we can share knowledge. In this video i adress a very touchy subject for many scholars. That is the notion of academic music vs non academic music. I have had many dicussions and debates but any of them seems to bring me peace, that why i mad...
Atenea, Rafael Lazo Orquesta Filarmonía Madrid
มุมมอง 3384 ปีที่แล้ว
Esta obra fue presentada en el concierto de fin de máster de los alumnos de la UNIR, interpretada por la Orquesta Filarmonía de Madrid. Fue una de las obras con las que uso la Armonía inductiva o Tonalismo de Charles Loli, ingenierio civil y físico peruano con el que estudié para entender sus preceptos acústicos para la contrucción de acordes y escalas. Esto desemboco en el Microtonalismo, que ...
Suspiro No 1 Rafael Lazo, For 29 edo microtonal keyboard and voice
มุมมอง 3714 ปีที่แล้ว
Description My second piece using the heptadecagram This way of writing microtonality can be beneficial if you use lots and lots of notes. My ideas emerge from the Peruvian Civil Engineer Charles Loli, who develop a cohesive system of writing microtonaliy and more important, discovering the TONAL micro HARMONIES. These system emerges from the mind of a master in acoustics as an engineer and fro...

I can understand the tonal and timbral aspects of this, but what drives the composition forwards? serial formalism?
Great explanation on the subject! Thanks for taking the time to make the video
This is very interesting, I'm new to this stuff but your philosophy about it sounds really good to me
Thank you! This is really interesting, and I really appreciate your thoughts at the end where you sort of talk about your opinions about it. Looking forward to seeing other ones :)
bro you gotta improve the sound quality
Me gusta el concepto, suena bien. El hecho que ustedes están creando nuevos instrumentos me recuerda un poco al trabajo de Cergio Prudencio y gente como él, pero parece que usted lo hace de una perspectiva muy distinta. Usted diría que Prudencio es una influencia?
From hearing this I would say brendan byrnes was an inspiration to them
Muy buena música, le felicito. Me da gusto ver que su profesor es ingeniero, yo también trabajo en la ingeniería, pero estoy intentando a empezar a dedicar más tiempo a la música y la composición.
Thanks for the explanation, I just got introduced to spectralism through Julian Anderson, but I didn't really understand what it was based on before.
Could you re-upload? Only hearing left channel.
This would easily pass up as an improvisation IMO.
Very interesting channel! Nice concept with these video-series too, it's needed in TH-cam. I noticed som sort of fan making noice in the background, it's a bit distracting?
Thanks for the Support Erik! , i will continue this series, we have new complexity, simplicity, serialism, integral serialism on their way im editing them ! yes !! there its a noise, sorry about that! i will make better editing next time :D
@@rafaellazo1725 are these videos still coming??
Do you believe in perfect pitch ?
yes, its well documented. Some humans have the capability of hearing and identifying a tone into the infinite spectrum of notes, its true. This doesn´t mean that you are a super composer musician, it means that you have like a tuner in your head, and you can syntonize to concrete frequency values. yes i believe in it cheers !! thanks for the comment!
Rafael Lazo Composer it is another form of synesthesia almost. Has nothing to do with composition ability. I imagine it would aid in writing music.
Pick a number. Use your ears. Write melodies. Easy! My work is exactly what you described here.
Thanks for your comment! I use both. Ears and theory, I'm manifesting my discomfort with Spectralism and MOS theory as the only method of composing microtones. I have another method Called "the tonal universes", that I will explain in the upcoming book I'm finishing! But as you say, if you pick a number and follow your ears you will find a better path than trying to incorporate as many partials or ratios relationships in your music. It's all about the melody, to make it sing and cry. It's all about emotion rather than complex maths, but anyways music theory needs math. but you get me! cheers!
@@rafaellazo1725 personally I haven't needed any more theory to compose than I have gotten from 30 years of 12edo composition. Theory for me helps me communicate musical ideas to others. And until they're is a general and agreed upon method of nEDO or JI music I think my ear is the best tool to sculpt my music from the ether.
@@FASTFASTmusic Yes, ears are everything, with them you can realize any mysteries, anyways music its meant to be heard not to be analyzed
🎉Amo🎉
Nice video. Keep doing it.
I wonder whether "contemporary concert music" is a better term
Good insight. Keep it up! 👍🏻
Podrías profundizar acerca del minimalismo?? Creo que sería interesante
Creo que el término "académico" ha cambiado a lo largo de la historia de la música, ya que por ejemplo al no tener notación musical, el término "músico académico" era más relacionado a alguien que hacia de la música un estilo de vida, dedicarle su vida a ello. Luego llegó la notación musical, y aún teniendo música clásica, no existían como tal academias de música. Pero luego, con la aparición de la tecnología para grabar, cambió totalmente las prioridades tanto de la música en sí como del músico. Así que, creo que actualmente podría decirse que un músico académico es aquel que estudió en un conservatorio, academia o adquirió la teoría musical con clases particulares. Lo sé suena redundante, pero ese es mi punto de vista. Excelente video, Rafael! Regards from Mexico 🇲🇽
Im right now exploring other tuning systems, thanks for your video!
how about singers? what do you think about the singing formant? love the videos keep going!
that is one of the most fascinating topics around singing, a lot of physical phenomena involved! I will talk about that in the future!
@@rafaellazo1725 Yes it is indeed super fascinating. Also overtone singing is basically a technique for emphasizing formants! :o
@@rafaellazo1725 a.k.a. polyphonic singing!
Excellent peruvian talent 👏👏👏👏!
Academic: relating to schools, colleges, and universities, or connected with studying and thinking... Lo felicito maestro...🤙
I would say that any composer of a large body of work who notates and exhibits a unique individual style is academic regardless of genre. Notation is a requirement because it has to come from the horse's mouth and uniqueness is the only element that can separate their work from the pack. The rest is up to public reception. The same takes place in literature--what endures is considered great. So only time will tell.
Agreed! the notation part makes it more unique and viable to be reproduced in the future. I like your definition: "a composer of a large body of work who notates and exhibits a unique individual style it´s academic" and yeah it´s up tu public reception very very true, thanks for you comment !! the next episode im going to discuss temperaments and tuning ! stay close
this is dope, keep it up
Increíble, super talentoso. Te amo mi amor. ✨✨✨
