Sample Hate: Processos de criação musical em uma banda potiguar

Abstract

The present work consists of a study on how the process of musical creation/composition occurs within the band Sample Hate, from the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte, identifying the factors that influence the members during this process. To understand the topic, it was necessary to read texts about the influence of culture on musical creation/composition, musical genres, musical practices, and the informal learning of popular musicians. Regarding the research subject, an initial data collection was conducted online, followed by an interview with one of the band members to gain a more complete understanding of the group. The data collected in the field, with one of the members of Sample Hate, was divided into five categories: musical background; band history; musical creation; live performances; musical practice, sociomusical group, and challenges in maintaining the project. In the end, it was possible to conclude that the group’s creative process presents characteristics that reflect both regional cultural influences and contemporary references.
