A Transdisciplinary Approach to the Study of Musical Phenomena: Fuzzy Set Theory and Its Application to Music Research and Educational Practice
Abstract
The post-nonclassical paradigm of contemporary science is characterized by its striving for the most holistic knowledge possible. The cornerstone of this knowledge is synergy, a theory of self-organization that facilitates theintegration of diverse approaches to the study of phenomena. The integration of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies within a transdisciplinary framework is considered to be a pivotal tool in this context. Transdisciplinaritymeans going beyond individual discipline boundaries to uncover universal patterns in the organization of new knowledge.Applying a transdisciplinary approach to pedagogy enables the development of a novel educational concept meeting the thedemands of contemporary society. This article continues a comprehensive, multi-component investigation aimed at elucidating the issues of employing a transdisciplinary approach, which provides a robust foundation for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of musical phenomena through the application of contemporary music computer technologies (MCT) and their influence on various spheres of musicology. The authors highlight the significant contributions of the outstanding Russian musicologist Mikhail Sergeyevich Zalivadny (1946–2023), who formulated foundational ideas in developing a comprehensive model of the semantic space of music. The authors emphasize that the use of MCT inscientific research on this issue serves as the basis for creating novel theoretical and experimental-practical tools forstudying music, including the exploration of uncertainty factors in music analyzed through MCT. The article also addresses issues related to the need for training specialists in various fields of activities associated with digital music technologies within the contemporary media culture space, as well as the formation of concepts corresponding to this innovative humanitarian-technological direction.
Keywords: Mikhail Sergeyevich Zalivadny, music computer technologies (MCT), music education, synergetic approach, fuzzy set theory, transdisciplinarity
