Abstract

The notion of montage music is the starting point for understanding the recording process as a composition process, based on channel overlapping techniques and on the mixing stage to build sounds. Creative practice and reflection on sound creation in fixed media are based on relevant artistic concepts and repertoires. Reflective listening, conducted by the first author on albums by Milton Nascimento and the Gaucho group Quintal de Clorofila, explores the associations evoked by the sonorities presented in the phonograms and how they affect this listener, approaching montage/mixing techniques through aesthetic experience. Based on reflection on the concepts and techniques of montage music and aesthetic listening experiences, the first author undertook a practice of sound creation in a home studio. The resulting sound poetics is organized into four tracks in which an autobiographical and subjective sound narrative is presented. The notion of montage music contributes to approaching studio techniques and the construction of sonorities resulting from editing, processing and audio mixing as inherent to the creative process, connecting intentionalities and aesthetic results of sound poetics.
