French Suite No. 2 in C minor, BWV 813: I. Allemande

In Fragments vers le sens, I continue to explore structural models of non-linear musical narration. This piece does not follow the traditional logic of thematic development, but instead draws on Eisenstein’s theory of montage, applying its structural principles and techniques to music. Seemingly unrelated fragments—in terms of style, texture, and semantics—are placed side by side to create a discontinuous and non-linear listening experience. While the fragments lack clear motivic variation or developmental continuity, they are connected on a deeper structural level through shared technical processes or implicit features, forming subtle semantic relationships.
The musical material is generated using two stochastic algorithms: Random Walk and Poisson Process. These are used to control parameters such as pitch, duration, density, and noise ratio at different structural levels. For example, the first movement begins with a rough, noise-based glissandi gestures, and ends with a weird isorhythmic microtonal canon. Despite their contrasting sonic appearances, both fragments originate from the same algorithmic model—the difference lies only in how parameters are mapped. Thus, what appears as surface-level discontinuity conceals a sense of recapitulation.
