Wilson, Daniel Richard (2014) Portfolio of original compositions with written commentary. PhD thesis, University of Leeds.
Abstract
Noise is ubiquitous, from the sound of cars in the street to the scrape of a cello bow on a string. Often noise is considered to be unwanted, an intrusion on an otherwise
quiet life. Through a consideration of the thinking of Alain Badiou, and of the broad range of literature that deals with noise specifically, I dispute noise’s unwantedness, re-situating it as an integral, and therefore essential, part of being. The written portion of this project exists alongside a portfolio of compositions comprising solo and small chamber works together with a larger immersive-performance piece. The practice exists not as a complementary, but rather as an integral part of the research which posits that, as outlined by Badiou, truth is only attainable through the combination of philosophy and truth procedures.
