Lecture: The Interlocking Technique and the Reconstructive Nature of Memory

Delian Academy for New Music | Thursday, 15 June 2017 | 19:00 | Grypario Cultural Center, Mykonos, Greece

My Lecture at the Delian Academy for New Music

Abstract

Memory and identity. Variance and invariance. Iteration and evolution. The present lecture is an introduction to the exploration of the reconstructive nature of memory as a metaphor for the construction of pitch complexes and their dynamic and evolving elaboration in my music. For that purpose, I have invented an interlocking technique, which is a systematic transformation plan that takes some raw material and creates structurally and aurally similar pitch arrays by means of algorithmic manipulations
