Musical logic as a factor in the formation of the cultural landscape of the city square

This paper proposes an alternative music composition analysis of two squares of the city, in order to measure the possibility of interpenetration of musical and architectural languages and logics. The author reveals great similarity in the ranks of the logical rhetoric, music and architecture, which provides the possibility of finding a universal approach to the interpretation of texts in these areas. The existence of theoretical teachings on the subject and their application in the masterpieces of music and architecture makes the author's conclusions viable. Confirmation of these findings and analysis of interpenetration of musical and logic architecture as an example of real urban landscapes leads to the conclusion about the universality of the methodology presented. Any cultural phenomena are factors in the formation of cultural landscapes, which, in our opinion, are the richest places of refraction of many different linguistic and logical systems. Cultural landscape is understood as the sense aura created by signs and symbols associated with a particular territory in one way or another. Architecture, such as signs and symbols, organizes most of the cultural landscapes, imbuing them with plenty of features, some of which are still poorly understood. The analysis of musical and audio features of October Square and Councils Square in the city of Barnaul enriches the semantic richness of these places and reveals rare patterns. The compositions of these squares are subject to the laws of the cyclic forms of music: rondo, suites, and variations. As a result, the architectural ensembles acquire abstract tempo, dynamics, timbre, genre, and other nuances, moreover, specific musical analogues. Decoding information ambiguity and diversity of the cultural landscape attributes allows to draw conclusions about the integrity of the world community and its laws, its universal order. We can reveal additional potential of particular existing sites (square) in the long term, form a holistic view of the location, city, region, country. The analysis of musical and sound characteristics of the two squares enables to confirm in one example the compatibility of at least two different languages, two options of logic that form additional aspects of the existing cultural landscapes. In the future, music and sound model of the city landscape can be its characteristics, non-standard component of the city's brand, its tourism and investment attraction.
