Abstract
This portfolio of compositions comprises acoustic, electronic and mixed works. Particular focus is given to examining the compositional process, with each piece exploring a contrasting approach. Key themes include the degree of composer autonomy and approaches to generating material. Indeterminacy, tuning, concepts of time and live electronic processes are primary concerns within a broadly experimental aesthetic.
