Abstract
I present here a Portfolio of Compositions totalling five works composed between October 2007 and September 2011 at the University of Birmingham Electroacoustic Music Studios. The works are varied in medium including acousmatic, mixed, instrumental and laptop compositions. In addition to the DVD containing recordings and video of the works and performance scores for four of the compositions, I include this commentary as an outline to the techniques used in the composition of the works as well as the aims and objectives of the works. The commentary also includes some discussion of the compositions in relation to the current context of electronic music writing, and some background to the influences that have shaped my compositional direction, with a particular focus on the use of technology in current performance practices. Included in the appendix are a number of supporting documents and a further composition discussed in relation to one of the compositions for submission.
