Yuferova H. Music computer technologies in communication processes in modern Ukrainian music

For the first time, the Dissertation is a study of the sphere of music computer technologies as a system of knowledge and communication practices associated with the use of modern personal computers as one of the tools of musical creativity and communication. The term “musical computer technology” is assigned to the innovative field of modern musical art. It relies on the scientific base of musical informatics. Аt the same time, it is closely intertwined with elements of the system of musicological knowledge. Five directions of musical computer technologies system were identified and, according to them, the types of multimedia and specialized musical computer programs. The classification of software tools that have become firmly established in the musician's practice has been clarified. The processes of musical communication are investigated on the example of such models as «Composer – Publisher», «Arranger – Listener», «Teacher – Student». The understanding of musical communication as a system of interactions in musical art was deepened based on the results of the experimental events. The research revealed that the functioning of the system of musical computer technologies is the result of the intensification of communication processes in society. In turn, information technologies are associated with factors that ensure the renewal of musical communication. The process of musical communication «Composer – Music Analyst» was studied on the example of chamber (including electroacoustic) works of contemporary Ukrainian composers – A. Voytenko, A. Zagaykevich, and group of authors – Cherny / Tuchynska / Yuferova. The knowledge of the artistic logic of works was the goal of musicological analysis. An integrated approach with the involvement of specialized software was used to conduct spectromorphological analysis using the Aural Sonology’method by L. Toresen. It is proved that the applied analytical method meets the requirements for solving the problems of the researcher. The feasibility of using music computer technologies in musicological research has been proven. As a result of the study, have been defined, that music computer technologies as a system, integrated with music communication processes. The logical results of the functioning of music computer technologies as a system were formulated. It was revealed that the music computer technologies` system is involved in providing information and applied functions of musical communication. It was concluded that music computer technologies as a system not only provide the results of the introduction and use of innovative methods, but also contributes to the activation and intensification of interaction processes in musical art at different communication levels. Music computer technologies` system was manifested in spiritual and creative activity of society. It ensured real changes in musical art thanks to the natural results of functioning. Among them, accelerating the process of perception, understanding of information and response, creation of meanings by listeners; updating musical expression tools and forms, as well as musical text creation and editing tools; new presentation ways of composition; changing the paradigms of the musician's practice and expanding professional competence; integration of modern Ukrainian music culture into the world media space. Аs a result, it has been proved that the musical computer technologies` system plays a global role in communication processes in modern Ukrainian musical art.
