Abstract
The composer-researcher nowadays approaches his artistic
product from theoretical perspectives to understand the
dimension of his creation. This presentation presents the partial
progress of a larger work. As a problem, the absence of research
methods in the arts was detected in advanced composition
students to define their own music; Based on this, alternatives
were sought that, from other areas such as aesthetics and musical
analysis, oriented towards style as an object of artistic research.
Our objectives are to expose and describe strategies that allow
the composer-thesis writer to argue his style, from objective
elements from the personal imagination. The methodology was
autoethnographic: field records, recording of class sessions,
individual and collective reflection, as well as workshops for
group review of artistic products; Each student kept a creation
log about their own process of creation and stylistic definition.
As a partial result, it is considered that the gestation of a personal
memory allows self-definitions in the search for a personal voice
that can at the same time be evaluated by academic peers.
