B.M. МУЗИКАТА НА ВСЕЛЕНАТА В ЖИВОТА И ПОЕЗИЯТА НА ТЕОДОР ТРАЯНОВ
type: item
description: Спомените на съвременници и литературните изследвания отбелязват житейската и творческата обвързаност на Теодор Траянов с музиката. Публикацията сумира съществуващата биографична информация, цитираните откровения на поета и частичните интердисциплинарни констатации по темата. На тяхна основа търси иманентните внушения и символиката на музикалната образност в поетичния свят на българския модернист. Авторката издирва и коментира песенните композиции, създадени върху стихотворения на Траянов. Като отчита утвърдените литературни тези и противоречията в тях, настоящото наблюдение запазва своята музикологична автономност и методологията, присъща на музикознанието.

СЛЕД ОРТЕГА: ОТ ДЕХУМАНИЗАЦИЯ В ИЗКУСТВОТО КЪМ РЕХУМАНИЗАЦИЯ В БИТА
type: item
description: Какво е времето, в което се появява „Дехуманизацията в изкуство то“ на Хосе Ортега-И-Гасет? Кой е той? Какво е времето в което е живял? Какво е дехуманизация, от къде тръгва и до къде стига? Как изкуството отразява времето и мисленето на човечеството? Творящите хора ли са първите, които улавят промените на времето и играят ролята на „се измографи“ на обществото, улавяйки и най-слабите трептения на пред стоящи промени преди те да станат очевидни за всички? Каква е ролята на изкуството- просто украса или жизненоважен механизъм за социална рефлексия и адаптация? С това есе ще се опитам да проследя еволюцията на идеята за деху манизация, красноречиво представена в есето на Ортега. Ще опитам да проследя феномена от художествения авангард до дигиталния ни живот днес и ще потърся алтернатива за хуманното, морално и чисто човешко оцеляване, ако все още е възможно.

„РОЛИТЕ“ НА МУЗИКАТА В ЧУЖДОЕЗИКОВОТО ОБУЧЕНИЕ
type: item
description: Целта на настоящия доклад е да очертае „глобалната“ роля, която музиката играе в обучението по чужд език на деца и възрастни, като представи обобщено и илюстрира с примери отделните, по-конкретни, „роли“ или функции, които музиката може да заема в часа по чужд език. Описанията и категоризацията, които ще представя, както и примерите, които ще приведа, са базирани на теоретичните ми познания и практическия ми опит на първо място като преподавател по чужд език и обучител на учители и методист; на второ място, като реципиент – обучаем по чужд език; на трето – като студент по музикална педагогика и бъдещ преподавател по музика и на четвърто – като човек, който се занимава професионално с музика. Предложената категоризация и описания не претендират за оригиналност и не целят да направят и популяризират откритие, което е било непознато за или неизследвано от научната (музикална и лингвистична педагогическа) общност, а по-скоро си поставя за цел да обрисува и представи феномен, наблюдаван и описан през погледа на действащ практик. Разбира се, изводите, които ще направя и твърденията, които ще приведа, почиват на определени източници или са подкрепени от авторитети, които ще цитирам.

S. K. ТЕХНОЛОГИЧНОТО КЛЕЙМО ВЪРХУ ПОПУЛЯРНАТА И ЕЛИТАРНАТА МУЗИКА И ЛИТЕРАТУРА
type: item
description: В настоящия доклад е разгледана темата „Технологичното клеймо върху популярната и елитарната музика и литература“. Засегнати са следните аспекти: как влияе „технологичното клеймо“ на съвременния свят, как развитието на технологиите води до поколенческата промяна на „екран номер едно“ от телевизионния до този на мобилния телефон. Подробно са разгледани промените в медийната среда и как слушането и гледането на подкасти измества традиционни медии като радио и телевизия. Особен акцент в статията се поставя върху аудиокнигите като модерна културна еволюция, която допълва и обогатява класическите литературни произведения с тембър и емоция. Разгледани са и безжичните слушалки като модерен технологичен феномен, оставил своя отпечатък върху възприемателските ни способности. Анализът се съсредоточава върху това как дигитализацията на музиката и литературата променя усещането за качество на звука и модерното възприятие на класическите музикални и литературни произведения. Обърнато е внимание и на създаването на нови музикални стилове, в контекста на новите технологични и социални очаквания. Сериозен акцент са стрийминг платформите и тяхното огромно влияние върху начина, по който търсим, слушаме и получаваме информация.

N. P. ОТ РИТЪМ КЪМ ОРНАМЕНТ - РИТМИЧНА СТРУКТУРА В ДЕКОРАТИВНО-ПРИЛОЖНОТО ИЗКУСТВО ЗА ДЕЦА ОТ ПРЕДУЧИЛИЩНА ВЪЗРАСТ
type: item
description: Публикацията изследва как децата в предучилищна възраст възприемат, създават и интерпретират ритъма като основополагащ елемент в декоративното изкуство чрез интерактивно преживяване на музикален ритъм, реализиран под формата на музикал на игра. Фокусът на изследването е върху ритмичната структура като пресъздаването на орнаменти – повтарящи се елементи, които носят естетическа стойност и разви ват визуалната, музикалната култура и творческото мислене на децата. В изследва нето участват деца от третата възрастова група в детската градина. Наблюдени ята показват, че децата интуитивно разпознават и създават ритмични структури, особено когато им се предоставят визуални примери и материали с разнообразие от форми (кръгчета, листа, триъгълници и др.) под въздействието на музикалния ритъм. В заключение, реализираният модел демонстрира, че свързването на ритъм в музиката с ритъм в изкуството създава богата основа за цялостно развитие на децата – позна вателно, емоционално и естетическо. Така декоративно-приложното изкуство се пре връща в средство за изразяване и интерпретиране на вътрешни усещания чрез външни визуални форми, подготвяйки децата за по-задълбочено възприемане на изкуството и културата в по-късен етап.

M. R. ГРЕШКАТА - ЕФЕКТИВЕН ИНСТРУМЕНТ В ОБУЧЕНИЕТО ПО АУДИО ПОСТПРОДУКЦИЯ
type: item
description: Студията акцентира върху ролята на грешката като средство за обучение в контекста на преподаването по дисциплините, обхващащи аудио постпродукцията, най-напред разглеждайки я от психологическа, педагогическа и общо приложна перспектива, като след това се фокусира върху конкретната насоченост. Въз основа на теоретични модели на метакогниция (познание за познанието и мислене за самото мислене), учене чрез управление на процесите, свързани с когнитивното натоварване и емоционалното саморегулиране, се предлага концептуална рамка, в която грешката не се възприема като неуспех, а като възможност за развитие. Представени са конкретни примери от обучителната практика, в които грешката се използва като стимул за критическо мислене, слухова прецизност и творческа рефлексия. В сферата на звуковите изкуства и технологии, грешките могат да изиграят ключова роля в изграждането на професионална компетентност.

description: Банатските българи са самобитна общност, появила се при преселението на българи католици след потушаването на Чипровското въстание през 1688 г. Откъсната от процесите в българските земи, тя тръгва по свой път на развитие, предопределен от историческите обстоятелства на формирането ѝ и от влиянията на околните народи и култури. Културата на общността се отличава със засилен стремеж към съхраняване на разказа за преселението, на езика и традициите. В процеса на домостроителството фолклорното съзнание създава текстове, за да изпълнят конкретна цел. Те мигрират от едно място на друго, трансформират се според нуждите и се превръщат в нишките, които държат връзката между разроилите се селища.

Opera titles based on classical literary works
type: item
description: Opera among musical and stage genres is like the collection of classic novels in the machine of world literature: it is that part of art that remains and will remain alive for centuries. It carries the stories of the past, but is still relevant today; a teacher for young and old. Going to the opera house is a much “powdered” version of sitting with a book and coffee by the fireplace or window on a rainy day. You sit in the salon to enjoy a story; to feel the love, suffering, and torment of the characters; to reflect on your life; to learn something new and, above all, to get pleasure from the music, the artists, and everyone who creates the magic of the theater. Opera is a collection of all the arts, and that is what makes it so great. Each is difficult to understand, but with time and the right selection of composers and works directs the interests of the viewer - you inevitably fall in love. Here are the paintings and sculptures in decor, props, and costumes; dance and rhythmic gymnastics in ballet; music in the score under the baton of the composer, in the orchestra, soloists, and chorus on stage; acting; and, of course, the libretto-poetic text that will be told. What is more, often the libretto in the opera is based on classic novels. These are "Carmen", "La Traviata", "Lucrezia Borgia", "Othello", "Boris Godunov", and many others. That is why one of the strongest connections between literature and music is born in the opera. What changes does the dramatic text undergoes to be included in an opera libretto, and how this is formed, we will follow here.

FROM THE LITERARY TEXT TO MUSICAL IMPROVISATION
type: item
description: The perception of literature and musical art is regarded as one of the most complex and abstract cognitive experiences in human consciousness. The combination of verbal text and sound creates a new, multi-layered experience, whether through song form, improvisation, or similar creative means of expression. The cultivation of such a culture in early childhood has been demonstrated to contribute to the development of imagination, flair, and creativity. The creation of instrumental or vocal interpretations based on literary works has been demonstrated to facilitate the development of tonal thinking in children. This phenomenon is not perceived as the conventional practice of "composing" music, but rather as a spontaneous and natural form of expression that manifests through play. One of the educator's tasks is to guide, develop, and direct this perception, thereby establishing it as the foundation for fostering sonority, intuition, and hearing. Musical improvisation constitutes a pivotal element within the framework of contemporary music education. The pedagogical approach in question has been demonstrated to engender independent reasoning, resourcefulness, and spontaneous expression in students. Furthermore, it has been shown to enhance students' capacity to generate and adapt complex musical imagery in real time. Finally, it has been demonstrated to cultivate confidence and a sense of freedom in music creation. The integration of poetic content serves as a foundational element, introducing nuanced dimensions that facilitate interpretation and expression. Consequently, the lyrics serve not only as a source of musical inspiration but also as a catalyst for emotional engagement and intellectual depth, thereby fostering a more meaningful relationship with the music.

MUSIC AND LITERATURE. THE ROLE OF THE ARTS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
type: item
description: The article explores the interplay between music and the written word as a fundamental element of human cultural evolution—from Antiquity to the digital age. Within a historical and cultural framework, it traces the connections between arts through different epochs—Ancient times, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Romanticism, and Modernism—and analyzes how music and literature reflect humanity’s pursuit of meaning, identity, and transcendence. They are considered not only as aesthetic expressions, but also as mechanisms for preserving memory, building community, and resisting dehumanization in the contemporary world. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of art in the 21st century as a medium of resistance, solace, and hope in the face of technological transformation.

M. Szk. JEWELS AND JEWEL CASES: THE DEPICTION OF J. R. R. TOLKIEN’S THE SILMARILLION (1977) IN BLIND GUARDIAN’S NIGHTFALL IN MIDDLE-EARTH (1998)
type: item
description: Written throughout J. R. R. Tolkien’s literary career and later edited and published by Christopher Tolkien, The Silmarillion (1977) portrays the origins of Tolkien’s fictional universe including the creation of Elves, the war over the Silmarils, and the rise of Morgoth, which leads to Sauron’s emergence. It has been a source of inspiration for various artists, one of which is the German power metal band Blind Guardian. Their 1989 conceptual album Nightfall in Middle-Earth (1998) retells Tolkien’s story over a series of songs forming a narrative that uses sonic elements and spoken word to highlight the main elements of the book. This article aims to showcase the methods implemented by Blind Guardian in order to adapt the story for music.

ON SOME LESSER-KNOWN MULTI-PART VOCAL WORKS BY PETAR STUPEL
type: item
description: The attitude of the composer Petar Stupel (1923 – 1997) to the speech is special – not only because of the genre specificity of the predominant part of his voluminous work, but as a conscious need for a connection with literature. It is especially important to emphasize the leading role of texts in the creation of his vocal music. In addition to the well-known and repeatedly performed oratorio “Darzhava Pioneriya” (“The State Pioneriya”), Petar Stupel is the author of several more multi-part vocal works for children, named by their author as oratorios and cantatas. Some of them have been printed and / or issued on gramophone records, and others, although specially commissioned by children's choir formations, have remained only as traces in time from their first performance or other performances in the years surrounding their creation. At the moment, two such works have been discovered: “Sartse kato slantse” (“Heart Like a Sun”) – an oratorio for two choirs – children’s and mixed and string chamber orchestra based on a text by Georgi Strumski, whose manuscript is preserved in the archive of the “Milka Stoeva” Choir School – Burgas, and the three-part cantata “Usmihnati zvezdi” (“Smiling Stars”) for chamber string orchestra and children’s choir based on a text by Krastyo Stanishev, preserved in a copy of the manuscript in the archive of the “Prof. Georgi Dimitrov” Choir School – Yambol. Copies of these two works are not found in the composer's personal archive. The text is an attempt to shed light on the little-known or completely forgotten children’s oratorios and cantatas of the composer Petar Stupel, beloved by generations of Bulgarian children

Hr. Karag. APPLICATION OF HARDWARE MASTERING COMPRESSORS IN POST-PRODUCTION
type: item
description: Hardware mastering compressors are a must-have in any studio specializing in mastering. However, as we will learn from this study, they cannot always fulfill all the specific tasks that the mastering engineer is faced with. This is due to some peculiarities in the algorithmization used in sound processing, which is responsible for achieving the specific tasks of the final sound processing. Therefore, it is necessary to use hybrid setups, which differ both in terms of switching and in types of devices. These setups depend mostly on the style of the mastering engineer; and on the concept of the respective studio. However, the role of hardware processors in mastering remains high even with the availability of new and modern software algorithms for processing the music.

Dimova НА КРЪСТОПЪТЯ НА СЕТИВАТА: ДВАДЕСЕТ ТЕЗИСА ЗА СИНЕСТЕЗИЯТА В ЕВРОПЕЙСКИЯ МОДЕРНИЗЪМ
type: item
description: Статията проследява някои естетически, културни и научни дискурси на синестезията в модернизма, като представя двадесет тезиса за цветния слух от книгата на автора На кръстопътя на сетивата (Dimova, 2024). През призмата на невронауката и сетивната история синестезията е концептуализирана като физиологично, художествено и културно единство на сетивата. Явява се определяща фигура в модернизма, която в моята трактовка вдъхновява интермедиалните експерименти в модерното изкуство. В тази теория осмислям адаптацията чрез екфразата като пренос между изкуствата. Така твърдя, че синестетичните метафори предчувстват бъдещи мултимедийни адаптации. В основната част разглеждам някои интермедиални проекти, започвайки с музикалните драми на Рихард Вагнер и синестетичната им рецепция от Шарл Бодлер. По-нататък обсъждам как абстрактното изкуство на Василий Кандински и цветната музика на Александър Скрябин са вдъхновени от синестезията като сетивно, естетическо и мистично преживяване, спомогнало за възникването на абстрактното изкуство. Накрая предлагам методология на сетивното четене за анализ на интермедиални адаптации и в съвременното българско изкуство.

A comparison of the policies governing repertoire in student orchestral practices of both the past and the present
type: item
description: It is widely acknowledged that school and youth brass bands play an important role in the formation of qualitative aesthetic criteria in adolescents. This has prompted interest in their current repertoire, and the results of this research are reflected in this publication. Its main aim is to clarify the direction of development in this field and to elucidate the processes that have led to the current shape of the practice. The musical preferences of ensembles are examined from different perspectives, including historical time (from the period of the practice's emergence to the present day), cultural needs, and material possibilities. These observations help to clarify the relationship between traditionally established repertoire and contemporary trends in the field of wind music. The exposition is structured by conditionally grouping the ensembles according to similar features. The approach allows us to see both the common ground and the individual approaches taken by the orchestras. It also helps us to understand the prevailing trends and to draw the necessary conclusions. The research uses a variety of empirical methods, including concert visits, interviews with school brass band directors, internet sources, and so on. Cited literature: Buleva, M.

Tрансформацията на съществуващи жанрове като необходима модификация при създаване на мюзикъл за детска градина
type: item
description: The article discusses the need to introduce the genre of children’s musical in Bulgarian kindergartens. A modified format of the new genre "kindergarten musical", developed through the transformation of other existing genres that are close to children’s experiences and perceptions, is presented. The process of transformation is detailed as a step-by-step modification of text, songs, and musical arrangement. Similarities and differences are highlighted between the two genres suitable for transformation into a kindergarten musical – the original musical fairy tale and the digital audio fairy tale. The author’s pedagogical experience related to staging kindergarten musicals, created through the transformation of existing genres, is also included.

Digital room corection systems in control and listening rooms
type: item
description: Soundproofing panels are a fundamental element for managing room acoustics, helping to reduce unwanted sound reflections and improve sound quality. They are used in various environments, including recording studios, home theaters, offices, and public spaces. Despite their use, there still exists an issue with the acoustic characteristics of rooms, which contribute to phase and frequency deficiencies in sound reproduction. The use of Digital Room Correction Systems (DRC) is the best possible option for complementing and enhancing sound reproduction quality in already treated rooms.

description: This article examines some of the main directions in the development of Chinese opera in contemporary conditions, highlighting the most pressing issues to be addressed. On this basis, the article offers specific suggestions, divided into several groups and relating to government policy in general, the training of personnel in universities and schools of arts, and the operation of opera houses. All of them are driven by several circumstances: the search for high artistic output, the preservation of what is national, promotion nationally and internationally, and the continued establishment of the authority of Chinese opera.

Challenging the audience
type: item
description: The resistance to classical music of new generations can be overcome by using the innovative potential of music education institutions in the formation of musical taste. Innovations in music education most effectively avoid conservatism masquerading as tradition. The review of some main authors helps to outline the circle of the main agents of musical education with a direct influence on the perception of classical music. Their innovation potential can be defined as fundamental in this context. These are the Institutions of higher musical education, Music creators (composers and performers), the State with its cultural policy, the Institutions of secondary education, the Family, Specific institutions, the Market and Society with its culture. Technology makes it possible for them to find opportunities to move from “educational pressure” to an effective approach to teaching in this direction in a number of ways. The success of this approach contributes to bringing the sound of the orchestra and the complex polyphonic line of classical music closer to different audiences and, in turn, contributes to the modernity of the tradition preserved in the new age of high technology and artificial intelligence as a new social reality.

The juvenile operetta „The golden maiden“ by maestro Georgi Atanasov – between past and future
type: item
description: Maestro Georgi Atanasov is recognized as the founder of Bulgarian music and stage art. His operas have been staged or performed in concert, albeit insufficiently; musical-aesthetic and theoretical assessments of them have evolved over the decades. But the Maestro's children's and adolescent operettas of great musical, educational, and educational value, presented with success between 1910 and 1935 by Dimo Boychev and his Children's Musical Bands, have been gradually forgotten since the 1930s and exist only as manuscripts in state archival holdings. Building on what has already been published about them, this paper seeks to be more specific in its musical and dramaturgical analysis of the juvenile operetta "The Golden Girl". An attempt at a contemporary evaluation of the composition is linked to ideas about its present and future return to the stage, in school and after-school activities at the middle and upper school levels, and in the activities of the new private music centers and formations.
