Abstract
A portfolio of electroacoustic compositions that draw on environmental field recordings from around the world composed for stereophonic and multichannel formats. This includes nine concert works and four installation works, three of which are collaborative projects.
Particular focus is given to the relationship between field recordings and the genres of pure field recording composition, soundscape composition and acousmatic composition.
The accompanying commentary discusses the compositional processes and workflow behind the works and the fundamental aesthetic concerns that each composition addresses. It is informed by current research in the field as acquired through interviews with seven artists working in the field: Leah Barclay, Jonty Harrison, Francisco López, Brona Martin, Claude Schryer, Chris Watson and Hildegard Westerkamp.
This practice-led research project investigates the use of field recordings in my practice and reflects upon how this relates to practitioners and research in the field.
