Portfolio of original compositions

Abstract

This submission comprises six works made between 2015 and 2022 including:

Four concert works for instruments, voice, and electroacoustic resources that explore different relationships between the live musicians and the electroacoustic parts projected by loudspeakers. The process in making these works examines levels of engagement experienced by the performers, which was foregrounded through a collaborative composition process;

One interactive, kinetic sound installation exploring the engagement between the participants and the installation;

One site-responsive work, made in collaboration with Laura Bissell (writer), exploring engagement with place;

This critical commentary that outlines the creative process undertaken in the works, focussing on engagement, collaboration and my compositional practice which is rooted in the electroacoustic studio.
