“Gabriel de Pedro Quintet”: Decisions in Search for a Sonority
by
Abstract
“Gabriel de Pedro Quintet” is a popular music group from the city of Santa Fe, Argentina. The objective of this work is to analyse the production process and musical performance around the recording and presentation of the album La mujer árbol (2018). The theoretical framework conceives music as a process and performance, not as an isolated object. The research field is organized by the “chain of decisions”: poietic, immanent, preproduction, proto-performance, performance, recording (editing, mixing, mastering), post-production, aesthetics and aftermath. It is concluded that the study of human decisions optimizes and sustains the reconstruction process of artistic production and the search for a musical sonority.
