The Use of Technology in the Creative Process of Composer Pablo Rubio: dat.rec and Nosferatu

  • Alonso Hernández Prado Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro

Abstract

This article arises from an interview conducted on March 3, 2022, with composer Pablo Rubio Vargas (Aguascalientes, July 4, 1984), whose objective, in addition to reviewing his training as a composer, was to inquire about two of his musical works that implement technological resources: dat.rec and "apparitions", the musicalization of a fragment of the silent film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror directed by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau. The information emanating from the interview allows us to glimpse how music, surprisingly, as well as being a tool to mitigate ecological disasters, is one of the many facets of human endeavor that has benefited or been enriched by technological development. The use of technology, from the artist's perspective, allows to expand the threshold of the artistic creator and find new ways to materialize musical proposals. Pablo Rubio, aware of the above, also develops his skills in musical improvisation, to make this interpretative resource different and richer and thus achieve a new proposal, without neglecting an essential ingredient, the musical execution, which merges, in his case, the guitarist with the composer.
