Composición de un tema instrumental en el género metal progresivo basado en los recursos musicales encontrados en el tema “Running with The Bulls” de Kiko Loureiro.

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to create a progressive metal musical composition based on the harmonic, melodic and rhythmic elements of the song ‘’Running with the Bulls’’ by the Brazilian guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and composer Kiko Loureiro. The methodology used in this investigation has a qualitative approach with a descriptive extent. To gather data, a document and music sheet analysis was conducted, as well as an interview with Kiko Loureiro in which information was obtained about the writing process of the song, the purpose of the musical elements used and the relationship of these with the sensations that he was looking to convey. As well as the musical influences that are perceived in the composition. Inspired by the characteristic musical elements of progressive metal and the ones found in the musical analysis of ‘’Running with the Bulls’’, a new musical piece entitled ‘’Ecological Dead Zone’’ was created, in which elements from other musical genres like samba and flamenco were also succesfully implemented.
