CHAPTER THREE/Approaching the Notation of Electronics
My search, is about the contemporary playing techniques for the flute. For this reason, I am going to present not the common, but the extended playing techniques for the flute, accompanied with new music notation and giving a complete description with instructions to handle them. Furthermore, I am creating a guide for those composers who are interested in using the flute in a different way than the common one. This thesis includes not only definitions and instructions of the modern effects between 20th and 21st century, but also examples of notation for each technique. I am presenting effects that change the tone color of the flute, effects that change the vibration of the air steam, techniques that present the flute as a percussive instrument and others that include the voice of the flutist. The last pages complete my thesis with information about instructions and notation that should accompany the scores when it comes to electronic parts.
