Composition and Computation
Hejl, Matouš ; RATAJ, Michal (advisor) ; TROJAN, Jan (referee)
The text proposes to descirbe a few conceptual areas associated with the philosophy of technics and media through which it then interprets certain aspects of the role of technics in music. By doing so, it attempts to suggest a framework for understanding the computer and algorithmic musical thought. Reflections on the continuity of human technicity seek to unveil some facets of the digital computer – which can be seen for example as a dynamic cumulation of logical thought. At the same time, the text stresses the role of the composer as an organizer and living interpreter of the computational machine.
Karlheinz Stockhausen and The Beatles
Hejl, Matouš ; RATAJ, Michal (advisor) ; TROJAN, Jan (referee)
The text proposes to describe the relationship between Karlheinz Stockhausen and the work of The Beatles in the late sixties regarding especially their album Sgt. Pepper s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It compares how they worked within the same technnical system and it shows changes that occured in music with the conception of studio as a musical instrument. On a more general level, one theme of the text is the difference between so called serious, or avantgarde music and popular music. Through comparing the way Stockhausen and The Beatles approached a few selected aspects of music making, it presentes them next to each other rather than against each other. Another general theme is the relationship between technical inovation and music creation.
