Musical montage' (literally "putting together") is a technique where sound objects or Musical composition are created from collage. One example is Christian Marclay's playable sound collages produced by Glue together sectors of different
vinyl records.
Montage is to electroacoustic music what counterpoint is to (traditional) composition. It is the distribution of sound recordings over time. In principle, a 'montage' is linear in time and reproducible, residing in some fixed support.
Micromontage is the use of montage on the time scale of
microsounds, its primary proponent being composer Horacio Vaggione in works such as
Octuor (1982),
Thema (1985, Wergo 2026-2), and
Schall (1995, Mnémosyne Musique Média LDC 278-1102). The technique may include the extraction and arrangement of sound particles from a sample or the creation and exact placement of each particle to create complex sound patterns or singular particles (transients). It may be accomplished through graphic editing, a script, or automated through a computer program. (Roads 2001, 182-187)
Regardless, digital micromontage requires (ibid):
- creation or compilation of a library of sound files on several different time scales
- importation into the library of the editing and mixing program
- use of the cursor, script, or algorithm to position each sound at a specific time-point or time-points
- editing of the duration, amplitude, and spatial positions of all sounds (possibly done by a script or algorithm)
Granular synthesis incorporates many of the techniques of micromontage, though granular synthesis is inevitably automated and micromontage may be realized directly, point by point. "It therefore demands unusual patience" (Roads, 2001), though it may be compared to the
pointillistic paintings of Georges Seurat. (ibid)
Digital Montage can now be executed live with iTunes,
Windows Media Player or using specially designed software for sound editing, such as
Ableton Live, Steinberg Cubase, or DigiDesign
Pro Tools.
