Abstract(s)
O objetivo deste projeto artĆstico foi desenvolver um conhecimento mais aprofundado relacionado com a execuĆ§Ć£o e interpretaĆ§Ć£o de tĆ©cnicas de percussĆ£o tradicionais aliadas a tĆ©cnicas contemporĆ¢neas. De entre as vĆ”rias tĆ©cnicas tradicionais de percussĆ£o optei por desenvolver as da percussĆ£o Africana (GuinĆ© e Burkina Faso, e mais tarde NigĆ©ria) e as da percussĆ£o Cubana. Criei assim um projeto artĆstico de fusĆ£o intitulado Das RaĆzes, no qual ao longo dos dois anos do curso de mestrado estive em contacto com a mĆŗsica Africana e Cubana aliada a tĆ©cnicas contemporĆ¢neas e composiƧƵes originais (minhas e de outros compositores). Para cada obra explorei primeiro as tĆ©cnicas tradicionais e em seguida adaptei-as Ć percussĆ£o contemporĆ¢nea, num processo onde as suas raĆzes africanas, cubanas ou atĆ© afro- cubanas sĆ£o evidentes. Neste projeto salienta-se o papel preponderante das mĆ£os. No sĆ©culo XXI o uso da baqueta predomina como a tĆ©cnica mais forte para dominar os instrumentos nos conservatĆ³rios e nas escolas superiores de mĆŗsica. ApĆ³s ter adquirido esta tĆ©cnica resolvi aprofundar as tĆ©cnicas tradicionais onde predominam o uso nĆ£o sĆ³ da baqueta mas tambĆ©m da mĆ£o, um mundo antigo na sua existĆŖncia, mas novo para mim. Espero poder transportar o ouvinte para um mundo em que cor, movimento e som, antiguidade e contemporaneidade estĆ£o em constante vibraĆ§Ć£o.
The aim of this artistic project was to develop a deeper understanding and performance practice of traditional and contemporary percussion techniques. Among the various traditional techniques of percussion I chose to develop the African percussion (from Guinea and Burkina Faso, and later from Nigeria) and the Cuban percussion. In this way, I created an artistic project of fusion entitled Das Raizes, in which a two-year master's course tour on African and Cuban music is presented, using both traditional and contemporary techniques and original compositions (my own and from other composers). For each work I first explored the traditional techniques and then adapted them to contemporary percussion in a process where their African, Cuban or even African-Cuban roots are clear. Moreover, in this project, using the hands to play percussion with assumes a leading role. In the XXI century the use of drumstick predominates as the strongest technique to master the instruments in conservatories and in schools of music. After acquiring this technique I decided to deepen the traditional techniques which highlight the use of the hand, a very old technique in its existence, but new to me. I hope to transport the listener to a world where colour, movement and sound, tradition and contemporaneity are in constant vibration.
