Abstract

This thesis comprises a portfolio of acousmatic compositions which explore the evocation of emotion and the expression of meaning in electroacoustic music. These works, created and developed in the Electroacoustic Music Studios of the University of Birmingham, embrace both stereo and multichannel formats. In the accompanying Commentary, I also discuss compositional procedures and provide some analytical notes on each work, along with an outline of my own personal development as an electroacoustic composer during the period of the PhD programme.
