A Theory of Music by Robert Zott






Musical Events Containing Equal Geometric Volumes




Abstract

The boundary conditions of serialism point toward a new approach to structural organization as described by the k construct: a proposed relationship that unites the fundamental parameters of a musical event. This relationship shall be shown to possess unique properties that challenge established precepts of music and open the possibility of a variable musical architecture that can be reinvented for and within each composition. The precision required to implement the k construct is most readily attained through the use of computer musical instruments. See "Amerikan Horns" on the Sonic Simulations page for an example of the theory in practice.
