The Deconstruction And Reconstruction Of Sound In The Electronic Music Works Of Jean Claude Richette

Throughout the history of music development in the West,composition techniques have been continuously updated and developed over time.From the beginning of the romanticism,composition has no longer been limited to the fixed core structures of the acoustic instruments,such as the harmony,the counterpoint and so on.But the exploration of traditional music still remains on the surface of acoustic instruments or physical sounds,and the appearance of electroacoustic music starts from the way of breaking the internal structure of the sound,making the sound work itself and the "qualitative" changes take place in the structure.The "deconstruction and reconstruction" of this article is not simply interpreted as the content of the"deconstructionism" of the philosophical thought that appeared in 20th Century,but extends its influence to the field of music.In the perspective of "deconstructionism",this thesis expounds the changes of a series of composition techniques,such as sound and work structure,in electroacoustic music.This article starts from the sound itself,through the analysis of sound deconstruction and reconstruction,emphasizes the creative thinking of electroacoustic music,especially in computer music,which is divorced from traditional music,and generalizes the three concepts of the non-restrictive,symbolic and "differance" of the sound in electroacoustic music.Secondly,this thesis analyzes the three works of Jean-Claude Risset who was the computer music pioneer,in different periods,and studies the influence of deconstruction and reconstruction on their composition from the macroscopic,microscopic and psychological aspects through the three works,which are concluded to the three characteristics of the composer's sound deconstruction and reconstruction.Finally,the author tries to show the creative value of the deconstruction and reconstruction of the three works by summarizing the meaning of deconstruction and reconstruction,so as to provide more views and inspiration for the future composition.
