Adaptación e interpretación para bajo eléctrico solista y dueto de bajos de dos obras del compositor Joe Hisaishi

Abstract

The present work consists of the analysis, adaptation to electric bass and interpretation of two musical pieces by the composer Joe Hisaishi. The origin of the musical pieces is contextualized through a brief presentation of Studio Ghibli, the animation studio in charge of producing the movies Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited way, where we can find these musical pieces. In adittion, it inquires about the type of music composed by Joe Hisaishi. A musical analysis is carried out on specific elements of each piece, with the objective of understanding first-hand the musical style of the composer and the resources that will be relevant when making the adaptation. A review is made of the techniques and interpretive possibilities of the electric bass, which is later integrated with the analysis in order to organize and plan the adaptation work. Finally, the process of each adaptation is exposed through a description focused on technical implementation and decision making.
