Symbolic Overidentification, Sublime Dissonance and the New Music Lexicon: Non-Traditional Notation




Symbolic Overidentification - a notation system that exaggerates and intensifies traditional musical symbols and structures, revealing the ideological underpinnings of our musical conventions.



Negative Dialectics of Notation - the critical reflection on the limitations and shortcomings of traditional music notation systems, with the aim of uncovering the implicit assumptions and ideological biases embedded in them.

Transcendental Signification - the process by which musical symbols acquire meaning through their relation to the subjectivity of the composer and the interpreter, as well as to the historical and cultural context of their production.

Disruptive Archetype - a fundamental musical structure that challenges the conventions and expectations of a given style or genre, by introducing new harmonic, melodic, or rhythmic elements.

Transcendental Synthesis - the unification of different musical elements, such as tonality, rhythm, and timbre, into a coherent and meaningful whole, through the creative intervention of the composer.

Sublime Dissonance - a type of musical dissonance that evokes a sense of awe and reverence, by transcending the limits of conventional tonality and revealing the hidden potentials of sound.

Aporetic Notation - a notation system that embraces the paradoxes and contradictions of musical expression, by allowing for multiple and conflicting interpretations of the same score.

Radical Temporality - the manipulation of time and duration in a musical piece, by introducing irregular or unpredictable rhythms, or by stretching or compressing the time intervals between notes.

Retroactive Causality - a musical composition that challenges our traditional understanding of causality and chronology in music, revealing the ways in which past musical forms can be reinterpreted and repurposed in the present.
