Abstract:

The following chapters describe compositional methods applied to the compositions of the portfolio (Volume I), which consists of eight works for instruments and electronic sound, as well as one purely electronic piece. The main concern in all these works is aspects of open form and, to a lesser extent, indeterminacy during performance. I highlight the research I have undertaken in preparation for each of the compositions, show how all of these pieces are progressively linked by my evolving interest in open form, and place them in context with works by other composers, past and present, who hav

Abstract:

Service Composition refers to a popular modern software paradigm for building applications by combining distributed reactive components using the World-Wide-Web as the medium. The approach is characterised by the use of standardised protocols, languages and representations such as XML, which ensures that services are platform agnostic. Whilst the architecture is well understood for simple single-interaction services built in the style of classical procedures from the traditional programming paradigm, much discussion is still taking place with regard to more complicated, fully reactive services

Abstract:

The works in this portfolio of original compositions cover a wide spectrum of genres, styles, approaches, and musical techniques. The aim was to demonstrate mastery of the various musical languages and techniques characteristic of each genre. The calculatedly low-fi 'alt.rock meets computer games' approach of the concept album They No Longer Sleep Alone is of folk-like simplicity, deliberately eschewing the various polishing processes available to producers now in the digital mastering situation. The intention was to preserve a naturalness of sound and song making. On the other hand, live elec

Abstract:

Composition is a process of applied research. In a portfolio of eight original pieces, the technical and aesthetic components of this process are investigated from the perspective of several theoretical precepts which both inform and underpin its creative strategy. Drawing on theories of intertextuality, composition is collocated within a broad current of thought in which ideas and material from pre-existing ‘texts’ across a variety of disciplines are utilised and explored to create new compositional ‘texts’. This procedure is tested from several, key perspectives, characterised variously as:

Abstract:

This thesis analyses a number of projects which represent an attempt to forge a coherent compositional language. Structurally, it delineates the contrasting, sometimes opposing elements of two distinct areas of exploration: the search tor greater accessibility in contemporary music, which focuses primarily (though not exclusively) on community endeavours; and the possibilities and results which spring from opportunities to work with professional musicians, where few stylistic or performance constraints occur.

The aesthetics of composing electroacoustic music that includes both environmental and digitally processed sounds were studied. This was accomplished by practical means, resulting in a folio of creative work. Compositional methods and techniques relating to the interaction between environmental and processed sounds are detailed in this written dissertation. The dissertation also explores compositional applications for theories derived from the discipline of acoustic ecology. The context a sound might exist in, as well as the timbral characteristics of the sound itself, are shown to be vital in

The works in this folio are not so much concerned with stylistic unity and consistency as with balancing a strongly subjective expression with the need to shape the music into an effective dramatic (or even melodramatic) entity. In achieving a successful fusion of these priorities the eight works gradually unfold various approaches to handling melodic, rhythmic, harmonic and textural parameters. In preserving and enhancing that which is purely instinctual there is an emerging realization throughout the folio that it has to be submitted to some exercise of the intellect, incorporating a degree
