Spectral Music
Spectral music is a contemporary classical genre that focuses on the acoustic properties of sound itself, using the analysis of timbre and the harmonic spectrum as compositional tools. Emerging in the late 20th century, it often employs advanced instrumental techniques, microtonality, and electronic manipulation to explore the inner complexities of tones and their transformations over time. Ensembles and performers working in this style engage with extended techniques and unconventional textures, creating music that unfolds as an evolving soundscape rather than following traditional harmonic progressions. Rooted in scientific analysis yet deeply expressive, spectral music redefines the relationship between sound and structure in contemporary composition.
