COMPOSITION - EXPERIMENT - TRADITION: An experimental tradition. A compositional experiment. A traditional composition. An experimental composition. A traditional experiment. A compositional tradition. Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] 22-23 February 2012, Orpheus Institute, Ghent Belgium The fourth International ORCiM Seminar organised at the Orpheus Institute offers an opportunity for an international group of contributors to explore specific aspects of ORCiM's research focus: Artistic Experimentation in Music. The theme of the conference is: Composition – Experiment – Tradition. This two-day international seminar aims at exploring the complex role of experimentation in the context of compositional practice and the artistic possibilities that its different approaches yield for practitioners and audiences. How these practices inform, or are informed by, historical, cultural, material and geographical contexts will be a recurring theme of this seminar. The seminar is particularly directed at composers and music practitioners working in areas of research linked to artistic experimentation. Organising Committee ORCiM Seminar 2012: William Brooks (U.K.), Kathleen Coessens (Belgium), Stefan Östersjö (Sweden), Juan Parra (Chile/Belgium) Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] The Orpheus Research Centre in Music is based at the Orpheus Institute in Ghent, Belgium. ORCiM's mission is to produce and promote the highest quality research into music, and in particular into the processes of music- making and our understanding of them. ORCiM -

The Historical Basset Clarinet in Creative Collaboration Emily Payne
E. Payne Contemporary Music Review Repurposing the past? The historical basset clarinet in creative collaboration Emily Payne* School of Music, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK In this article I examine the role of the instrument in Evan Johnson and Carl Rosman’s collaboration on a new work for eighteenth-century basset clarinet, ‘indolentiae ars’, a medium to be kept (2015). Drawing on material collected over 30 months – including interviews; audio-visual footage; and correspondence containing sketches, fingering charts, and recordings – I consider the latent practices that lie within the instrument, and their role in the creative process. From the aesthetic discourses that pervaded the musicians’ discussions, to the transitional and sometimes ‘accidental’ moments of instrumental interaction during workshops, I trace the micro-processes within the broader creative trajectory, in order to understand how the instrument’s historical, social, and ergonomic affordances were enmeshed within the here-and-now of the collaboration. The article illustrates the dynamic character of collaborative work, shaped not solely by the knowledge of individuals, but through a close reciprocity between perception, action, and the discursive and material conditions of their surroundings.

City Research Online: http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/ [email protected] Audio-Scores: A Resource for Composition and Computer-Aided Performance Jonathan Bell Final submission DMus February 2016 ii Abstract This submission investigates computer-aided performances in which musicians receive auditory information via earphones. The interaction between audio-scores (musical material sent through earpieces to performers) and visual input (musical notation) changes the traditional relationship between composer, conductor, performer and listener. Audio-scores intend to complement and transform the printed score. They enhance the accuracy of execution of difficult rhythmic or pitch relationships, increase the specificity of instructions given to the performer (for example, in the domain of timbre), and may elicit original and spontaneous responses from the performer in real-time. -

It also explores the different ways that the composer has sought to ‘open-up’ the multiple tradition/s of both solo unaccompanied song, with its universal connotations of different folk and spiritual practices, and the ‘classical’ duo of voice and piano by introducing the clarinet, supremely Romantic in its lyrical shadowing of, and counterpoints to, the voice in Song 11 (1969-71) and Lord Melbourne (1980), and in an altogether more abrasive, even aggressive, way in the microtonal keenings and rantings of the rarely used and notoriously awkward C clarinet in Beuk O’ Newcassel Sangs (1988). -

An Interview with Liza Lim Madeline Roycroft
2017 © Madeline Roycroft, Context 42 (2017): 85–90. COMPOSER INTERVIEW The Ecology of Collaboration: An Interview with Liza Lim Madeline Roycroft Liza Lim is one of Australia’s leading composers. Born in Perth in 1966, she completed her BMus at the Victorian College of the Arts, MMus at the University of Melbourne and received her PhD from the University of Queensland. As Director of the Centre for Research in New Music at the University of Huddersfield from 2008–2017, Liza Lim established the highly regarded Divergence Press and CeReNeM Journals, as well as the Huddersfield Contempor- ary Records label. Now based in Melbourne, she maintains a part-time role at Huddersfield and from 2017 is Professor of Composition at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. She is also Visiting Professor of Composition at the Shanghai Conservatory during 2017. Lim has been commissioned by some of the world’s pre-eminent orchestras, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, and Bavarian Radio Orchestra, and she was composer in residence with the Sydney Symphony from 2005–2007. She has collaborated with ensembles such as MusikFabrik, Ensemble Intercontemporain and Ensemble Modern, and has been particularly associated with the ELISION Ensemble since the group’s inception. Lim has composed three operas: The Oresteia (1993), Moon Spirit Feasting (1999) and The Navigator (2008), all of which ELISION have performed in seasons across Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, 85 86 Context 42 (2017) Tokyo, Moscow, Paris, Zurich and Berlin. Her fourth opera, Tree of Codes (2015), commissioned and presented by Cologne Opera, Musikfabrik and Hellerau in Cologne and Dresden, was described as ‘a major contribution to the music theatre of our time.’ Liza Lim connects her compositional practice to areas of thought and knowledge such as Australian Indigenous aesthetics, Asian ritual forms, Sufi poetics, and the textilic arts of weaving and knot-making.
