Hiperpartitura: análise da rede de processos na criação de Khorwa-Myalwa, de Mikhail Malt
Abstract
This article analyses the creative process of Khorwa-Myalwa (2016), for bass flute and electronics, by Mikhail Malt, created under the computer-aided composition (CAC) paradigm. Our vision is anchored in three aspects: a) the ideas about intellectual technologies and hypertext by philosopher Pierre Lévy (2010), b) the theories about computer creativity by Margaret Boden (2009; 2004), and c) the theoretical propositions about models by Mikhail Malt (2015) and Ronald Giere (2004). We have then developed a new approach that considers the creative process as a network interacting with the various actors of CAC. We defined the notion of hyper-score to represent this network of computational tools, programming environments, databases and representations that arise during CAC. The hyper-score is a valuable tool for the comprehension of the agencies in CAC and is useful for both the analyst and the composer interested in understanding its processes.
