Composición de dos temas musicales basados en los recursos armónicos y rítmicos de los temas “Lingus” y “Outlier” del álbum “We Like It Here” del grupo Snarky Puppy.

Abstract

This research was developed in order to create two musical themes with an innovative style, following the professional parameters of college education. It is about a modern production of jazz fusion. A qualitative and descriptive focus methodology was used in the investigation for the creative process in this work. The method was based on the observation, audition and experimentation, supported by the musical theory. Some other investigations, music theory documents and interviews were reviewed in order to recollect information. Also, instruments like sheet music and audio recordings were used in the analysis. “Lingus” and “Outlier” by Snarky Puppy were chosen as the main reference to extract the harmonic and rhythmic resources needed for the composition of the themes “The Altered Groove” and “Tema 2”. The results of this work have demonstrated the effectiveness of the identification of musical elements, the analysis and the classification of resources from representative jazz fusion themes, as well as the use of the resources to create new songs. It is necessary to mention the importance of experimenting through evidences that allow us to match the theory with the practical execution. Finally, an analysis and application method of jazz fusion musical resources has been demonstrated for the creative process.
