Abstract
This portfolio comprises compositions utilising new score-reading technologies. The research primarily investigates the role that technology can play in the performance and composition of polytemporal music, with a particular focus on tempo canon. This led to the development of two new software applications: a score viewer and a composition environment. The commentary discusses the impact that these tools have had on my work, while also touching on broader technical, aesthetic and philosophical themes. These include considerations of time, the balance of freedom and control, and the impact of technology on creative work.
