This master's thesis is on incorporating elements of traditional music, specifically Raga Bhairav and Bhairavi, into contemporary music production. The thesis investigates how these elements can enhance the signature sound of modern compositions and impact the composer's artistic expression. The research questions explore the advantages and challenges of integrating traditional music elements into modern compositions and advocating cultural exchange and understanding. The thesis will use artistic development work, which combines artistic endeavors and scholarly research, as its method. The aim is to ensure the highest quality of artistic practice, meeting the same quality standards and academic achievements as other scientific activities. This study will provide insight into the potential impact of raga scales on modern compositions and contribute to the ongoing discourse on incorporating traditional music into contemporary music production.

This site exhibits the Master Dissertation of Micaela del Puerto Fernandez at KU Leuven University. The research invokes scale to learn from different events in our homes that are not comparable until we use the scale to put them at the same level and embody nature in a different way. The creation of an arch-scope as a new space of condensation of different scales and a starting point for thinking about how we design our houses. If we start to conceive living spaces through an arch-scope maybe we can design better habitats, which are able to keep an eye on all the multiple events that are important for a positive impact of a body being in a space.
