Abstract

This is a portfolio of mixed compositions for a range of musical media. Composition as research is the main theme running throughout the portfolio. Particular focus is given to experimental aspects of composition, in order to see how these function as both creative tools and modes of communication.
For example, use of sampling, use of code followed by digital manipulation, conventional notation and unconventional instruments. Some of the compositions are written specifically for performance, one is written specifically as sound design for a film, and others stand as experimental electronic works.
