Abstract

The purpose of this document is to serve as commentary that accompanies the portfolio of electroacoustic compositions, produced during research carried out between the years 2013-2019. It provides information about my artistic vision, focus, and creative process. The portfolio and the commentary together form my thesis submitted for an MA by Research in Music Composition.

The focus of this research is on vocal improvisation as the foundation of the compositional approach. It is rooted in my background as a composer as well as a singer and improviser. This research is also informed by my interest in storytelling and technological tools that can enhance and facilitate the creative process.
