Catastrophe theory: An enhanced structural and ontological space in music composition

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The application of catastrophe theory in music composition offers a solid conceptual frame for handling discontinuity, resulting to an enhancement of the structural space, by converting the music work into a dynamical system. In this frame, the structural stability of the form is put under strain by forces as multiple attractors, consequently enlarging the ontological space of the work to contain indeterminist, de-autocorrelative and deconstructive aspects. A case study is briefly discussed.
