Abstract
Abstract In the music of Jean-Luc Hervé, the ideas that founded spectral music take on new meaning. The concept of the acoustic model—composition based on the physical properties of sound—is interpreted as a relationship between music and the environment as the musical material, and as part of the surroundings. The idea of process is central to his music. The initial material at the conception of the work is reduced to a minimum in order to make way for its development in time. Jean-Luc Hervé uses as a model the organic energy contained in acoustic phenomena in contrast to the idea that sound is reduced to its physical and mathematical characteristics. This chapter, accompanied with examples taken from his works, will discuss various compositional techniques as well as the form he calls “concert-installation” that extends the music concert beyond the musical performance, into the surroundings.
