Sound research and composition with everyday sounds

Dr. Cristina Rolim Wolffenbüttel and Henrique Pellin

Abstract: 

Several technological transformations have caused the world soundscape to change over the years. Music, often seen as a representation of the world, ends up reflecting the future, appropriating the new universe of sounds and silences, generating new ways of listening and thinking about music. Since the beginning of the 20th century, sounds considered noises have been integrated into the new sounds, embracing world transformations. From this context, some questions that originated this research arose: what sounds and everyday objects can be used for music-compositional purposes? How can everyday sounds and objects be organized with a view to building a musical composition? This research, therefore, aimed to investigate everyday sounds with a view to the elaboration of musical compositions.
