Nexus Project: three electro-acoustic compositions.
… I attempted to explore how uniquely conceived electro-acoustic sound design could, as both a compositional tool and performance environment, simultaneously accentuate and obliterate the boundaries of individual performance gesture. My second goal was to create three elegantly conceived …

Reconstituting experience : a place for experimental electro-acoustic music
This thesis explores alternative ways in which architecture can be designed. Designing architecture is not about designing new forms, but is about designing new experiences. Current standardized methods of architectural design seem too abstract, that is, they find meaning within their own …

Problems, current methodologies, and an analytical case study in electro-acoustic music analysis: Lejaren Hiller's Vocalise from seven electronic studies for two-channel tape recorder (1963)
This dissertation is an investigation of electro-acoustic music analysis; it highlights the difficulties of analysis, explains some of the prevailing analysis methodologies, and demonstrates the use of a hybrid analysis methodology through an analytical case study. These difficulties and analysis …

Scattering Matrix Analysis of Surface Acoustic Wave Reflectors and Transducers
… been modified and corrected for use as a single electrode, mixed units, scattering matrix consisting of one electrical and two acoustic ports. These scattering parameter analytical expressions are functions of material constants, electrode geometry, and frequency. The three port single electrode …

Till Millennial Kingdom: A Composition for Trumpet, Three Percussionists, and Tape
… are arranged. The combination of percussion and electro-acoustic gestures represents the programmatic concept of wrath and tribulation. Ironically, the closing stages of this work musically represent the beginning of eternity.

Forms of luminosity
… principles. A selection of instrumental, electro-acoustic, and popular music is included as a folio that best represents my personal standpoint as a composer. The performance is deconstructed in order to examine both the successful and ineffective elements of this first experiment. Forms …

Design of an internally pressurized aerostatic journal bearing for thermoacoustic engines
… pistons was designed for application with thermoacoustic engines. By taking advantage of the maxima and minima of the oscillating pressures inside the engine's cavity, the bearing does not rely on external pressurization by a pump, but is internally pressurized. The fluid film lubricated bearing …

Space charge determination in HVDC power cable and its influence on electric field
… power cable is measured using a modified pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) system with a current transformer attached. The presence of these accumulated space charges along with the consideration of conductivity influences the electric field distribution across the insulation material. As it is well …
