Drawing on a theoretical framework that integrates the concepts of multimodality, new media, and inclusive education, it analyses the implementation of an interactive sound performance in an edu- cational setting involving functional diversity. The performance, based on digital and sensory technologies, aims to provide acces- sible, adaptable, and cognitively stimulating artistic experiences, promoting the active participation of children with diverse sensory and motor profiles. The description of the performative system is accompanied by a critical reflection on the principles of acces- sibility, individualisation, and participation, grounded in direct observations and testimonials collected during its application. The results suggest that the combination of sound art, technology, and inclusive interactive design may represent a relevant pathway for the development of more equitable educational and performative practices. The article thus highlights the role of multimodality as a tool for artistic mediation and social inclusion. 2026-04-13T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/40678 Title: Las óperas de Péter Eötvös: drama, comedia y sueño en 13 actos Authors: Amaral, Pedro Editors: Lluna, Joan Enric Abstract: En 1966, a los 22 años de edad, Péter Eötvös deja Hungría y parte hacia Colonia, donde completará la última etapa de su formación e iniciará, poco después, su extraordinaria aventura profesional como intérprete y compositor. Apasionado por las artes escénicas, había colaborado en los escenarios desde su adolescencia, en Budapest, escribiendo música para teatro y cine. Pero fue en Colonia donde compondría sus primeras piezas autónomas, Harakiri y Radames, dos “óperas-miniatura” que involucraban escasos recursos, en la línea del Teatro Pobre de Grotowski. 2024-04-30T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/40671 Title: Cantos de Sereia Authors: Amaral, Pedro Abstract: Composto em 2020, Sirens’ Song é um painel sinfónico num só andamento, com cerca de doze minutos de duração, escrito para uma orquestra de dimensão média: três flautas, dois oboés e corne inglês, dois clarinetes e clari- nete baixo, dois fagotes e contrafagote, duas trompas, duas trompetes, dois trombones, dois percussionistas e cordas. 2024-04-30T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/40582 Title: METAPHORIC THINKING IMAGERY IN NOCHES EN LOS JARDINES DE ESPAÑA Authors: Lopes, Eduardo; Wang, Yudan Editors: Ros-Fábregas, Emilio Abstract: This article provides an in-depth analysis of the metaphorical dimensions and cross-modal interactions in Manuel de Falla’s musical composition Noches en los Jardines de España. The study employs Nicholas Cook’s theoretical framework, which focuses on three modes of interaction: conformance, complementation, and contest. It investigates how Falla’s innovative use of Spanish folk music elements, mimetic sound-image relationships, and cyclical structures generates a complex metaphorical imagery that evokes vivid imagery, cultural associations, and emotional resonances through purely instrumental means. The article situates Falla’s metaphorical language within the artistic and cultural context of early twentieth-century Spain, shedding light on his role in negotiating between tradition and modernist innovation. By applying Cook’s theory to the realm of instrumental music, the study challenges traditional notions of music as a self-contained art form. It highlights the inherent cross-modal nature of musical language and emphasizes the listener’s active role in constructing and interpreting musical metaphors. The analysis underscores the significance of sensory correspondences in shaping the overall musical experience. 2025-12-01T00:00:00Z
