Abstract
This PhD thesis consists of a portfolio of five works of electroacoustic music, an installation, software, and a written commentary created at the University of Birmingham. The primary research focus is on creating electroacoustic music with external sensors and data related to the human body. In both instrumental (acoustic or electronic) music or fixed media, there is considerable space to improve or modify the way humans interact with interfaces or systems for musical realisation. Through the creation of the works in this portfolio, various interfaces were examined in order to investigate if there is any room for improvement when applying them in music creation. These interfaces include non-tactile gesture controller, EEG sensors, live coding, and sonification of DNA data. Possible ways to overcome or work around the limitations when using interfaces were examined, proposed, and used throughout the composition process. This commentary will discuss both the creative and technical processes behind the creation of these works. It also contains software created as an aid to computer music generation.
