Cyberock: o estúdio como instrumento musical na performance ao vivo da banda SOMBA

Abstract

The technologies developed for musical applications in the 20th centuryinfluenced directly the expansion of musical genres. Overall in rock, theres a high dependence degree between an artists sonority and the technology used in it. This generates a problem to the maintenance of the same acoustical mark in the various situations of practical music: in rehearsals, in studio and in live performances. As an approach of this issue, the digital technologies (and, mainly, the computer) is a greattool, with its characteristics such as: portability; an easier data storage, maintenance and upgrading; more possibilities in the use of signal processing resources; more possibilities of interaction, and others. The band called SOMBA a pop/rock band considered to cover and research some of the possibilities that the current digital technologies can supply, in a way so it can define itself musically through (amongothers factors) a sonorous mark. This occurs with the elaboration of a patch detailed through this work in Max/MSP, with the dilution of borders between functions in the musical process and with the development of a phonographic and performer work using the designed patch.
