SUMMARY:

In a context which technology is increasingly used in the world of music, it is necessary to discuss, understand and apply this possibility to musical interpretive practices. From the second half of the twentieth century, the computer began to be increasingly used as part of the set up of instrumentalists within musical performances. Electronic sounds could be synthesized and added together with the sounds of the acoustic instruments, in deferred or real time. In parallel, synthesizers and digital instruments continued to be developed. In this research, it was noted that few studies were carried out in the academic field related to the use of the drums and technological mediation. In this scenario, only the master’s dissertation by Ferreira (2017) was found, in which he presents pieces with interatction between the drums and electronic devices, however the focus of this work is not this, but rather to explore the drums timbrically through several possibilities, not necessarily being electronic. Therefore, this, work becomes a pioneer in the academic field, since its objective is to analyze the development of the performance of five works of mixed electroacoustic music directed to the drums using prerecorded sounds or a cellphone application from the perspective of the interpreter in their preparation. The methodology of this work was based on the choice of the repertoire and its respective interpretation. Through the experimentation workshops, we explore the various possibilities related to this theme in the construction of performances of contemporary music. Thus, the studied and presented works were: Post-Lightened, Gravidade Zero, Buttonwood, Quatro Voltas ao Início and Maracá: para tape, instrumentos de percussão e uma bateria compartilhada. The analysis took place from the audio and video records of the rehearsals and performances of the works. Among the results, the creation of grooves for the drum duo and the use of cell phone with electronics in real time stand out as particularly significant. The need for a greater technical and interpretive refinement to be applied to each of the interpreted works was also discussed. More specifically, we reflected on the analytical observation of musical gestures and the musician's posture in an environment with more attributions and perceptions that go beyond playing his or her instrument. Therefore, a reflection on technical-interpretive aspects, as well as their performances contributed for a research that delves into the use of drums with technological interfaces for the creation of new sound material.
