Abstract
This vignette makes a number of analytical observations about Philippe Leroux's octet De la texture (2007), with a particular focus on the composer's transformation of gestural materials drawn from drum rudiments and waveform shapes into formal processes unfolding at various levels throughout the piece. It demonstrates how Leroux deploys his primal building blocks, whether composed of rudiments, waveform profiles, or non-pitched materials, within processes of kinetic ebb and flow that include alterations in dynamics, register, and tempo, as well as changes in pitch and/or rhythm.
