Дальневосточный обряд «Медвежий праздник» в пространстве музыкально-компьютерных технологий

Abstract

In the present article music computer technologies are examined as an instrument of preservation, modeling, and construction of lost timbres, intonational models and sound spaces. The musical sequencer, which is one of the basic elements of contemporary music computer technologies, is perceived within the frameworks of comprehension of the theory of the “complex model of the semantical space of music.” The possibility of reconstruction (or, simply, construction) of the previously existent sound semantic space, or the creation of a new space by means of a sequencer, is examined. An example of such a reconstruction of the ritual of the Bear Holiday pertaining to the peoples of the Russian Far-East is presented on the basis of a variation-rondo-type poly-structural composition consisting of several different movements. The development of a complex model of the semantic space of music is recognized as one of the topical conceptions of understanding the contemporary processes in the sphere of computer music technologies. The authors arrive at the conclusion about the possibility (and the necessity) of a special type of construction by means of a sequencer of sound semantic spaces of lost traditional rites, as well as the reconstruction of the timbres, manners of intonating and sound effects. Special mention is made of the potential for forming a new unique structure of a musical space existing with the aid of a sequencer. Keywords: Bear Holiday, sound beam, music computer technologies, integrative model for the semantic space of music, sequencer.
