The analysis of the propagation of energy in long-form structures and the development of texture in selected works by God Speed You! Black Emperor!, and Explosions in the Sky

This exegesis examines the propagation of energy in long-form structures and the development of texture in selected works by God Speed You! Black Emperor, and Explosions in the Sky and develops a methodology to cope with the stylistic traits of post-rock music. Music technology will be a key component in the conception, evolution, production and consumption of this project. The work done towards this Masters of Musical Arts will comprise an extended portfolio of technology-assisted compositions, as well as an accompanying analytical exegesis of the works that inspire them.
