Abstract

Tinguely is a musical composition scored for strings, percussion and built instruments that focuses on the acoustic phenomena of interference and beats. Instrumental techniques have been developed to produce a sound world largely comprised of acoustic beating, pulsating multiphonics and noise. Instruments have been built or modified to create a timbral transition from strings to metal percussion, and multiple preparations are used on each instrument throughout the piece in order to interfere with its normal method of sound production. The interferences in Tinguely also occur on a metaphorical level, as established repeated musical patterns are disrupted by truncation, extension, silence and chaotic transformation.
