Abstract [en]

This study aims to explore the boundaries and creative possibilities of composing and improvising music with a base in sampled saxophone fragments inside of Ableton Live.

The study have included things as: exploring different sound design techniques, manipulation of saxophone samples, composing and rearranging music as well as rehearsing with a band and trying different concepts and approaches to performing the music in a live situation.

The work includes creating polytonal sample instruments built inside of Live and the creation of more texture based ones as well. This work also resulted in composing 6 different compositions and the rearranging of an earlier composition to match the aesthetic character of the other ones.

I’ve also tried to stretch the linear boundaries of Ableton Live with a more rubato based approach to composing to see what possibilities the program had to handle that type of context.As a composer I’ve early on created an aesthetic vision of what I wanted this sample based music to sound like and tried to very precisely recreate what I’ve heard inside of my head in detailed sketches in Ableton Live using midi instruments together with the sampled textures and instruments. I then realised that a great deal of the final task of this study was to bring this vision to the ensemble and make them play the music in a way that resonated with what I’ve heard when I composed it.
