Abstract:

We describe the creation of an interdisciplinary piece named ELEMENTARIDADES based on the following frameworks: Algorithmic Composition, the Rudolf Laban's Theory of Expressive Motion and the physical model of elementary particles of matter. The sound environment of ELEMENTARIDADES was constructed via concepts of Sound Functors and Categories. The Interdisciplinary Group for Theatre and Dance (GITD - UNICAMP) created the choreography and the music was composed using algorithmic composition software developed at the Interdisciplinary Nucleus for Sound Communications (NICS - UNICAMP).
