Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho visa o meu projecto artístico que consiste na composição de um repertório e sua interpretação por um quinteto de jazz, tendo em consideração a importância que a tradição, a criatividade e a interacção têm no jazz. O desafio artístico consistiu em combinar as minhas diferentes influências musicais, criando um repertório original inserido no universo do jazz, influenciado por uma frase de Charles Mingus que define a verdadeira criatividade como o acto de tornar o complexo em algo simples. O outro ponto fulcral do projecto artístico consistiu na teoria que define a criatividade como a reorganização de diferentes elementos, de forma original e eficaz, tendo em atenção ao papel da moderação no acto criativo como forma de evitar ideias irrelevantes que não são utilizáveis.
Para atingir os objectivos propostos, o repertório foi composto a partir de improvisações e explorações musicais, inspirado no conceito de play de Stephen Nachmanovitch, que considera que a criação de algo novo não é realizada pelo intelecto mas sim através exploração livre e descomprometida de vários elementos e conceitos. As músicas foram experimentadas e debatidas pelo quinteto, no decurso dos ensaios, procurando que cada músico tenha um papel activo no desenvolvimento do repertório e estimulando a sonoridade de grupo e a interacção musical.
Numa primeira fase do relatório artístico enquadro teoricamente o meu projecto na tradição do jazz, abordo a importância da criatividade neste género musical e no repertório desenvolvido, e exponho a interacção entre músicos como uma característica fundamental no jazz e no trabalho que desenvolvi com os restantes músicos do quinteto. Seguidamente, explico o meu projecto artístico, nomeadamente os conceitos orientadores da composição e do desenvolvimento do repertório, e descrevo as várias músicas que constituem o projecto artístico.
ABSTRACT - The following work deals with the composition of new repertoire and its performance by a jazz quintet, taking into account the importance of tradition, creativity and interaction in jazz. The artistic challenge consisted in articulating my various musical influences, creating an original repertoire related to jazz, and influenced by a quotation of Charles Mingus that defines true creativity as the act of making complicated simple. The other focal point of the art project was the theory that defines creativity as the reorganization of different elements, in an original and effective manner, taking into account the role of moderation in the creative act as a form of avoiding ideas that do are not useful. In order to achieve the proposed goals, the repertoire was composed through improvisations and musical explorations, inspired by the concept of play by Stephen Nachmanovitch, which considers that the creative act is not accomplished by the intellect itself but by making free and uncompromised relations of various elements and concepts. The music experimented and discussed between the musicians during the rehearsals, with the purpose of enrolling every musician in the development of the repertoire and stimulating sound and group musical interaction. Initially I related theoretically the artistic project to the jazz tradition, then it is presented the importance of creativity in this music genre and in the repertoire developed, and it is examined the value of interaction between musicians as a key feature in jazz and in my project. In a second part, I introduce the guiding concepts of composition and development of the repertoire, and present a verbal description of each composition.
