임선정의 <"Mont" for two percussionists and live electronics>의 분석

Abstract

본 논문은 타악기와 실시간 전자음향을 바탕으로 한 임선정의 작품 <“Mont” for Two Percussionists and Live Electronics>의 분석으로 이루어져 있다.

이 작품은 각 악기가 지닌 특징에 따라 두 명의 타악기 연주자로 나뉘어진 타악기 파트와, 사전에 소리합성 과정을 거쳐 미리 제작된 사운드와 함께 연주된 타악기 소리를 실시간으로 제어하여 변조시키는 전자음향(Live Electronics)을 포함하고 있다.

작품의 제목인 “Mont”는 불어로 ‘산’이라는 뜻이지만 내적인 의미로 ‘쌓다’ 라는 의미를 지니고 있다. 작곡가는 “Mont”의 ‘쌓다’라는 의미에 아이디어를 착안하여 음향이 차곡차곡 쌓이며 시간의 경과에 따라 발전하는 현상을 타악기의 음향적인 효과와 그 소리를 실시간으로 변조하여 또 하나의 파트를 만들어내는 전자음향으로 표현하였다.

따라서 이 작품은 작품의 주제와 아이디어를 표현하는 타악기 파트와, 사전에 소리합성 과정을 거쳐 미리 제작된 사운드와 함께 연주된 소리를 실시간으로 제어, 변조시켜 타악기 부분과의 조화를 꾀하며 새로운 파트를 형성하는 전자음향을 포함한 라이브 일렉트로-어쿠스틱 음악(Live Electro-Acoustic Music)이다.

본 논문에서는 “Mont”에서 배음렬을 바탕으로 한 음계로 이루어져 있는 음고가 있는 타악기, 타악기의 다양한 주법을 활용하여 음향적인 효과를 활용한 타악기, 그리고 리듬을 중심으로 한 타악기로 이루어져 있는 타악기 파트와, 실시간으로 변형 되어지는 전자음향이 어떠한 음향적인 효과를 내는지, 또한 그 효과들이 어떻게 작품의 의도에 부합하는지에 대하여 살펴보았다. |This thesis analyzes Sun jung Im’s <“Mont” for two percussionists and live electronics>. The work, “Mont”, consists of two parts: a percussion part and a live electronics part. The percussion part is for two percussionists that have two different instrumental charactersitics and the live electronics part is simultaneously controlling and modulating pre-recorded synthesized sounds and live percussion sounds in real time.

The name of the work, “Mont”, represents a mountain in French but has a connotation of ‘piling one on top of ther other’. The work, “Mont”, is live electronics sounds that pile up synthesized sounds and modulate the pile of the sounds and live percussion sounds together in order to produce sound changes by time.

The work, “Mont”, is a live electro-acoustic music since this work does not only include the percussion part that expresses the idea of this work, ‘piling up’, but also includes the live electronic part that produces new harmonized sounds by controlling and modulating pre-recorded synthesized sounds and live percussion sounds together in real time. This thesis analyzes what musical effects are produced by live electronics that simultaneously modulates different percussion sounds: percussion sounds with spectral scales, percussion sounds with special playing techniques, and rhytmical percussion soudns. This thesis also analyzes how the musical effects meet the idea of “Mont”, ‘piling up’.; This thesis analyzes Sun jung Im’s <“Mont” for two percussionists and live electronics>.
