Serialismille

Serialismille is a term that combines "serialism" and "millennial," referring to the application of serialist principles to music composition in the 21st century. Serialism is a method of musical composition that involves the systematic use of all the elements of music (pitch, rhythm, dynamics, etc.) in a non-repetitive manner. It was developed in the early 20th century, particularly by Arnold Schoenberg and his followers, as a reaction against the tonality of the common practice period.

Serialismille refers to the continuation and evolution of serialist techniques in contemporary music. Composers in the 21st century have adapted and expanded upon the serialist approach, incorporating new technologies and exploring new musical territories. This can include the use of electronic instruments, algorithmic composition, and the integration of non-traditional musical elements such as noise and found sounds.

The term "serialismille" is not widely used, but it serves to highlight the ongoing relevance and influence of serialism in modern music. It also reflects the cyclical nature of musical styles, where ideas from the past are revisited and reinvented in new contexts. Composers working within the serialismille tradition often draw inspiration from historical serialist works while also pushing the boundaries of what is possible in contemporary music.
