Forskning
I believe that there is significant unexplored potential in melodic and harmonic expression on the guitar. I want to see if my research work could free the guitar from the blind reliance of approximate equal temperament. I want to introduce and explore left hand techniques which could be used to develop real-time intonation while playing. Could it be that this would allow for greater possibilities within melodic and harmonic expression, resembling the freedom of string players?
How can intonation be used as a tool to enhance melodic and harmonic expression on the classical guitar and which benefits can be gained in terms of sound, phrasing, volume, and different articulations?
Which techniques can be developed to control the pitch while playing and in what ways can real-time intonation adjustments transform classical guitar performance practices?
How could the classical guitar potentially function effectively outside the constraints of equal temperament, and which alternative tuning system(s) could be employed?
What insights can be gained from instruments that are not constrained by equal temperament?
