Emulación del formato fusión de salsa y latín jazz para representar las voces de la percusión latina, el piano y vientos, como alegoría de su rol dentro de la orquesta por medio de la técnica del looping en el bajo eléctrico.

Abstract

The approach of this project arises through the search for new sound alternatives focused on the creation of a piece that links different compositional elements from a single base instrument in this case the electric bass, together with new technologies which offer great variety of options, various paths of production and musical edition. This is how this proposal was born, focused on generating different sonorities from a common origin with a projection of development in various instruments, proposing layers of sound that complement each other, allowing the composition and live performance of a piece that includes harmony, melody and rhythm. This document deals with the emulation of the main instruments implemented for the interpretation of salsa and Latin jazz musical genres, through resources such as extended instrumental execution techniques and external sound modulators, within a creation that superimposes said sound layers using the live looping technique Additionally, to assign a close imitation to each instrument, the digital modification is proposed with the aim of highlighting the desired frequencies with greater similarity to those emitted by the original instrument. Said work exposes the live recording and the sum of sounds that gradually complement each other forming characteristic patterns of the aesthetics of the proposed genre, through a digital tool that generates loops that can be manipulated at the will of the performer. Through this process, a sample of the most relevant characteristics of each of the tools involved is compiled, in addition to the experiences in the development of production in this format, offering a new compositional and exploration option for the electric bass and any another musical instrument.
