New compositional paths between Eliot Carter’s harmony and grammatology

This doctoral research by Raffaele Longo links composition to music theory from an innovative methodological point of view. The originality of this project is based on the definition of a new paradigm in music composition. The researcher investigates in what way the harmony of Elliott Carter (1908–2012) —as expressed in his Harmony Book— can be the driving force to explore innovative compositional paths.

Supervisors: Kristin Van den Buys & Jurgen De Pillecyn.
