Elif Balkir · 2015
This paper handles a short comparative study between concrete music and text-sound composition through the musical analysis of Lars-Gunnar Bodin’s Semikolon - Seance IV (1965). The aim of this study is to show some similarities between those two genres from historical and musical points of view. In the former, the research will show how musique concrete and text- sound composition were born at the crossroads of early creative approaches in music and in literature based on the remarkable contribution of record- ing devices. The latter will discuss with the help of musical analysis of Bodin’s Semikolon, how text-sound composition and concrete music adopt- ed some parallel philosophical concepts during the process of composition.
