This article presents a compilation of the 87 thematic dossiers published between 2016 and 2020 in 27 Brazilian journals dedicated to Music Research, along with conclusions about this academic production and their visibility conditions. We analysed the covers, editorials, sites, published items and table of contents of 187 issues to identify the dossiers. As main results, we highlight a schematic organization of the 87 dossiers in seven categories, the large thematic diversity of the dossiers, the role of University Post-graduate Programs journals in discussing structural issues of the area and the need for compatibilization of inconsistences in the publications. We hope that the observes give support for editors on their decisions and that the presented compilation be used as a basic research tool for any Music researcher. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In XX and XXI centuries, computer support promoted inter-relationships between the fields of composition and musical analysis in unique ways. In the academic context, the relationships between both areas can be achieved through analytical hypotheses whose results of analysis are utilized in new musical works. In this article, we enquire if these areas can configure a feedback system with constant transformations based on the new information obtained during the processes. We propose the analysis of the work Substâncias Moldáveis - version 2, that presents a formal segmentation in two parts with different sound features. For the analysis of each part, we adopted specific analysis tools considering the hypothesis that the tools employed should adapt to the features of the analyzed work. As an analysis of the results, we integrate both parts generating comparative graphical representations of the analyzed acoustic and psychoacoustic features. Finally, as a conclusion, we provide an interpretation of the phenomena emerging from the sound masses and textures found in the piece from the graphical representations created.
