…Two case studies, Louise Rossiter’s Neuronen and Panayiotis Kokoras’ AI Phantasy, serve to illustrate how some of the conflicts between the work-concept and acousmatic music play out at a compositional level.

Post-Pitch World: Timbre as the Primary Element of Form (2019) on Crama by Arash Majd

Majd, Arash (2019) Post-Pitch World: Timbre as the Primary Element of Form. PhD Dissertation. UCLA.

While pitch has been the primary element of form for many centuries, this dissertation considers the possibility of using timbre as the primary element of form in a musical composition. It explores the different mindsets, structural procedures, and techniques which contribute to the construction of form in the absence of pitch. As its primary case study, this dissertation analyzes Crama by Panayiotis Kokoras (b.1974) to discover the practical applications of a piece formally organized by timbre, including over one hundred figures that analyze Crama in smaller sections. These figures express the timbre of each instrument, and then compare the timbre of each instrument to all other instruments before discussing the results. Most of the figures include a short conclusion that explains how timbre supports the form in this piece. The conclusion chapter draws from the case study chapters and suggests even more options to create a sound-based composition.

Flute as meta-interface of modular systems in contemporary electro-acoustic music (2019) on Cycling by Hanan Hadžajlić

Hanan Hadžajlić (23 April 2019) Flauta Kao Metainterfejs Modularnih Sistema U Savremenoj Elektroakustičkoj Muzici. Department of Wind Instruments (flute direction) at the Faculty of Music Arts, University of Arts in Belgrade. (in Serbian)


p.99-109. “The composition Cycling for the sounded flute with the effect of spaciousness was written by Panayiotis Kokoras in 2009, …From the aspect of compositional procedures and techniques, the global process is represented by the transformation of sound from predominantly percussive sounds based on flaps, both with open mouth and in combination with articulation language in which short phases of adding air to a tone constantly modulated by harmonic combinations are integrated. accentuated prelude, whistling tones and fluttering. The basic meter is 3⁄4 with occasional incorporation of 4/4 and 5/4 meters, and the dominant rhythmic pulsations are 10/1 and 8/1 and the secondary ones, 5/1, 4/1, 3/1 and 2/1 (most often in the context of a notated deceleration of the initial pulsation flow). In the score, the composer verbally marked five different parts that represent separate phases within the global transformation of sound: Riding The Pedals (items 1–22), Feel the Wind (items 23–37), Open the Wings (items 38–44). , Crosing the Valley (pp. 45–51), Memory Traces (pp. 52–72). According to the composer, the score and the marks of the sound techniques, the performer should be treated as follows: …” (Google translation from Serbian)

Cristina Cubells (2018) ExtremActual Hacia nuevos horizontes de escucha, Guía didáctica, Pedagogía y divulgación musical. Sonido Extremo. Spain. p.25-28

“4.4. Texture: Friction (2001) by Panayiotis Kokoras
Kokoras carries out an exploration of the sound possibilities of the instruments and the value that each one of them have as distinctive elements in order to transmit musical ideas and also structure the piece. Friction, as a force, originates from imperfections between two objects in contact, when one opposes the displacement of the other’s surface or opposes the beginning of the latter’s movement. Depending on the type of object, its size and its texture, the resulting sound will be different. In Friction, we must think of the sonic concept of friction as a poetic element that goes beyond its audible possibilities. Frictions can occur in multiple ways through textures that meet and move, giving rise to very different sounds, including those that we do not know or that we are not able to appreciate…” (Google translation from Spanish)
