The analysis of the propagation of energy in long-form structures and the development of texture in selected works by God Speed You! Black Emperor!, and Explosions in the Sky

Abstract

This exegesis examines the propagation of energy in long-form structures and the development of texture in selected works by God Speed You! Black Emperor, and Explosions in the Sky and develops a methodology to cope with the stylistic traits of post-rock music. Music technology will be a key component in the conception, evolution, production and consumption of this project. The work done towards this Masters of Musical Arts will comprise an extended portfolio of technology- assisted compositions, as well as an accompanying analytical exegesis of the works that inspire them.
