bandcombinaties

Bandcombinaties is a mathematical term used to describe a specific type of musical composition, often classified as a form of aleatoric or algorithmic music. The concept involves creating music by combining multiple musical bands or instrumental groups, often with the goal of generating novel and unpredictable sounds.

In a traditional sense, a band is a group of musicians playing together, often within a specific musical genre or style. However, the idea of bandcombinaties extends this concept by incorporating variables such as instrument timbre, melody, and rhythm, creating an elaborate system where individual elements can be combined and recombined in numerous ways.

Bandcombinaties are often seen as a prelude to the development of more complex musical forms, including those of chaos music and indeterminacy, where the role of the composer is significantly reduced, and the actual organization of the music is the responsibility of the group of musicians performing the piece.

This theory of music composition lays emphasis on the fusion of different sonic elements in order to challenge traditional musical perception. Bandcombinaties often implies interaction between the sound groups involved, necessitating the coordination of every voice and the convolution of expected protocols, thereby defying real-time harmonization.

Notable characteristics of bandcombinaties include adaptability and collegial responsibility among the musical parties involved and an apparent interest in transferring monolithic institutional compositions into genres of interanimable mashups that prove specifically opportunistic, or undesistent, human collaborations.
