Recurrence in acousmatic music
… research concerns recurrent phenomena in acousmatic works, investigating aspects of correspondence among the constituent sound materials, illuminating the temporal relationships existing among them, and providing concepts to help rationalise compositional structuring processes. While the …

Acousmatic Storytelling: A compositional approach
… explore the idea of relating storytelling with acousmatic music in the creation of a hybrid vehicle for transmitting stories, to develop a compositional methodology derived from the exploration of the synergy between storytelling techniques and acousmatic practice and to deliver works, which …

A portfolio of acousmatic compositions
… of three years. The works it contains are all acousmatic; they investigate sonic material through articulation and gesture, and place emphasis on spatial movement through both stereophony and multi-channel environments. The portfolio is written as a personal journey, with minimal reference to …

The Acousmatic Musical Performance: An Ontological Investigation
… the following ontological question: what is an acousmatic musical performance? Chapter 1 discusses acousmatic sound – a fundamental constituent of the acousmatic musical performance – and considers ways in which acousmatic sounds are determined in advance of, and during, a performance. Chapter 2 …

Spectral spatiality in the acousmatic listening context
… of a spectral space consciousness in the acousmatic listening experience is highlighted, particularly with regard to more abstract acousmatic contexts where sounds do not directly invoke familiar source identities. Chapters Three and Four further elaborate aspects of spectral space …

Topology of spatial texture in the acousmatic medium
… the dynamic fabric of experienced space in acousmatic music. The topology of spatial texture is a network of concepts treating music as a flexible, textural space, which deforms, shapes, and transforms in time. A comprehensive terminology is introduced, along with five fixed-media …

Exploring compositional relationships between acousmatic music and electronica
… explores the compositional relationships between acousmatic music and electronica in order to offer a way of unifying the two musical forms. The original contribution to knowledge comes from the creation of a portfolio of compositions that extend the two idioms towards one another, resulting in a …
