About this exposition

This auto-ethnographic project is the creation, with collaboration with the composer Maarten Bauer, of a bass clarinet and baritone voice piece, as well as the research about the sound possibilities of these instruments. These possibilities have been exposed and explained. Moreover, a diary of the composition process of the piece such us qualitative information of the research and an analysis/explanation of the resultant piece have been included. The main sources are the piece itself and the participants: clarinettist and composer, who also participates as a performer in the piece as a singer. The symbiosis of two people in the creative and interpretative process of a piece and how the interaction between them modifies the final result. In order to achieve a total interrelation, the format of the piece is through the compositional form "Map and territory" which consists of interpreting by means of established but open bases or rules. Depending on what one of the musicians interprets at any given moment, the other will decide what to play. All this has been explained in detail in this research. As a format for the presentation of the research, we have chosen to present it in the form of an exposition in which the most important aspects will be explained, such as the compositional process, the decision-making during the working time as the answer to the research question, as well as the performance of the resulting piece demonstrating the relevance of the interrelation between performer and composer/performer.
