“FESTAS DA XICA” DE PAULO MOURA

UM LUGAR INTERACIONAL-FORMATIVO (LIF)

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the audiotactile textuality of Paulo Moura (1932-2010) in Festas da Xica (1987), considering the assumptions of the Theory of Audiotactile Music (TMA) and the concept of Interactional-Formative Place (LIF), theoretical framework which contemplates the specificities of aesthetic and cultural experiences of music such as jazz, rock, Brazilian instrumental music, improvised music and World Music. For that, a microgroovemic analysis was carried out with the contribution of the Open Source software, Sonic Visualiser. Three objective aspects of analysis were considered: interpretive resources, time and the spectral centroid.
