Abstract:
The composer for the digital collectible card game Mythgard (Rhino Games, 2020) shares a perspective on the design and implementation of the game’s music. Composition challenges included creating a dynamic music system that would work across multiple platforms without middleware and crafting an iconic “sound” for the game’s mythology-infused science fiction universe.

Abstract:
Thomas Mann's novel Doktor Faustus. Das Leben des deutschen Tonsetzers Adrian Leverkühn erzählt von seinem Freunde (1947) is one of the most known literary works of the 20th century. The creation of this novel was closely tied with an encounter of Thomas Mann with a philosopher and musicologist Theodor W. Adorno in their american exile during the World War II. Thomas Mann's novel represents literary fiction of Adorno's theory of music and musical aesthetics, as found in the study Philosophie der neuen Musik (1949).

Abstract:
This article examines the claims made by translingual writers Nancy Huston and Andreï Makine about the literary function of the foreign language, and also analyses how the poetic potential of foreign words is thematized in their fiction. It focuses on two novels which portray artistic trajectories in search of a language distinct from the imperfect words of everyday expression, be it through a nostalgically opaque language of childhood as in Le Testament français, or through an exploration of the meeting point of music and language as in Lignes de faille. While both writers emphasize the defam

The purpose of the article is to study the nature of the author’s world as expressed in Thomas Ligotti’s short story “Moonlight Music”. The starting point of the article is the understanding of the author’s world as the writer’s response to the main set of problems of reality, which he reproduces in the work with the help of artistic techniques and means. The author’s world is always based on certain artistic principles and is conditioned by the structure of the writer’s soul, as well as by the peculiarities of artistic thinking specific to this writer.

Abstract:
This paper examines the history of black women artistries, postcolonial magic, and music within Canadian playwright Djanet Sears’ 1997 Toronto production Harlem Duet. In a modern re-adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello, Sears’ Harlem Duet resituates literary historical symbols, like the infamous handkerchief, and Shakespearean hidden characters within a diasporic and empowered space of agency, intergenerational trauma, and reclamation. With the maternal theoretical foundation of Alice Walker’s work “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens,” this paper matrilineally connects Harlem Duet’s protagonist

Abstract:
In "What the Sorcerer Said," Carolyn Abbate proposed a reading of Dukas's Sorcerer's Apprentice (1897) focused on the possibility of musical narration. The present essay shifts that focus to the question of the work's uncanniness and excess. In particular, where Abbate finds that the slow part of the epilogue resonates with her understanding of the work as an instance of narration, I begin with the final two measures of the work, which suddenly revert to the fast tempo of the central scherzo. These final measures, which Abbate does not mention, produce a disturbing regression that suggests ano

This dissertation examines five figures associated with magic in contemporary literature: voodoo ghosts, magicians, automata, fortune tellers, and freaks.

In these novels, figures of magic display different aspects of the work of representation, coded as magic, as well as the effect of magic on

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to illustrate the importance of magic realism in American women's fiction in the late twentieth century. The term magic realism, which has traditionally been associated with Latin American men's writing, has been known by different, and often contradictory, definitions. It may be argued that, properly defined, it can be a valid term to describe a number of characteristics common to a corpus of work, and can be considered as an aesthetic category different from others such as Surrealism or Fantastic literature, with which it has often been compared.

The purpose of this writing is to put forward a context in which these four compositions may be assessed. In chapter 1, I choose to present my work taking a lateral approach. Rather than discuss my background as a composer and the reasons or 'necessity' for using the electroacoustic medium to express my musical thinking, I have instead introduced a new idea to provide a wider context: Magic Realism in music.
