Abstract

This article presents an interview with composer Hans Tutschku about his creative processes, preceded by a descriptive analysis of the theoretical and technical foundations employed in his recent works. The text addresses practices such as field recording, instrumental and electroacoustic composition, and the way the composer utilizes artificial intelligence for computer-assisted composition processes. Materials such as scores and patches were provided by the composer to support the discussions presented in the article. It aims to contribute to reflections in the field of musical creation, particularly through a structured and interdisciplinary approach reported by the interviewee, highlighting the influence of other arts such as dance and theater on his compositional work.
