Lin, Shu-Yu ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2083-2325 (2020) Portfolio of compositions and written commentary: Integration of acoustic and computer-generated sounds in mixed-media contemporary concert music through sonic interaction using serial and microsonic techniques. PhD thesis, University of York.
Abstract
This thesis examines the integration of acoustic and computer-generated sounds in contemporary concert music through a portfolio of eight musical compositions and a written commentary. Through the development of the creative work, idiosyncratic compositional strategies for sonic interaction integrating diverse sources are developed. These strategies expand on existing work on sonic interaction and provide distinctive approaches using serial, indeterministic and microsonic techniques as methods for integration. The written commentary outlines the research narrative of the creative work, outlining its background, research questions, aims, objectives, methodology, and contributions. The commentary adopts the methodology of annotated portfolios with the aim of clarifying the research narrative in the creative work, at the same time capturing its multifaceted nature and the interrelations between the pieces in the portfolio. The eight compositions are analysed through five annotation topics: pitch to noise continuum, sonic gesture, sound mass, juxtaposition and superimposition of sound, and spatialisation. The annotations give key insights about the compositional strategies and play a significant role in addressing the research questions. This thesis aims to contribute to the field of mixed-media composition by producing a body of work with idiosyncratic compositional thinking, identity and perspectives, and providing individual perspectives into how compositional strategies may be developed for the integration of acoustic and computer-generated sounds.
