Popis: Leonardo Music Journal, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press (MIT Press): Arts & Humanities Titles etc, In press. Publication date: December 2020; The abstraction of musical structures (notes, melodies, chords, harmonic or rhythmic progressions, etc.) as mathematical objects in a geometrical space is one of the great accomplishments of contemporary music theory. Building on this foundation, I generalize the concept of musical spaces as networks and derive functional principles of compositional design 15 by the direct analysis of the network topology. This approach provides a novel framework for the analysis and quantification of similarity of musical objects and structures, and suggests a way to relate such measures to the human perception of different musical entities. Finally, the analysis of a single work or a corpus of compositions as complex networks provides alternative ways of interpreting the compositional process of a composer by quantifying emergent behaviors with 20 well-established statistical mechanics techniques. Interpreting the latter as probabilistic randomness in the network, I develop novel compositional design frameworks that are central to my own artistic research. One Sentence Summary: Network theory is an innovative tool for the classification of generalized musical spaces and provides a framework for the discovery or generation of functional 25 principles of compositional design.
