 LOS ANGELES (www.wilsongomes.net) - Brazilian born Jazz musician Wilson Gomes, recently launched his new twelve-note serial work on the web through www.wilsongomes.net. Using the guitar to play self-composed themes that explore the possibilities found in twelve-note arrangements, Wilson Gomes paints with colorful and intense traces a wide array of canvases that will challenge your senses. Wilson sees in his music a form of expression that may or may not bring about transformation in the listener, as he says 'This work consists of my vision of the world of sounds, a coming apart of the tonal world, a dispersion of the tonal language. It is not my intention to avoid tonality; this is all a part of the evolution or involution of my way of seeing, hearing, thinking and expressing myself through music." Wilson Gomes thrives on developing original guitar work that departs from Schônberg, Berg, and Webern's twelve-note serial method. His music is a reflection of his awareness of the richness of color in sound, enhanced by rhythmic, melodic and harmonic oscillations. The following are a list of characteristics the user can search for while listening: • Constant use of disjointed intervals • Colorful harmonies • Presence of long pauses • Unusual length of pauses • The disjointed intervals are used to dilute any tonal relationship that may occur throughout the musical discourse (the joined intervals lead us with great ease to establish a strong tonal relationship) • There is no chord repetition in any sense • While playing tow sounds at the same time, the result is a third sound • Absence of functional harmony • Application of strong forms of counterpoint controlled by the intervals • The sense of melody and harmony come together creating a sound object that is created by my imagination Please visit his website and enjoy his music!
