This, in order to develop the acoustic guitar as a fully-fledged solo instrument, rather than its more typical role of accompanying instrument. Before Hedges, there were already several acoustic guitarists who challenged the convention that the steel-string acoustic guitar’s primary function is that of an instrument for accompaniment. John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Will Ackerman and Preston Reed were the most prominent guitarists to try to validate the steel-string acoustic guitar as a solo instrument. They all had their own unique idiosyncratic approach within this self- proclaimed mandate, but none had the disruptive impact that Hedges had, and still has. Today, this new acoustic guitar movement – often described as Fingerstyle or Percussive Guitar – is larger and more popular than ever. -

Despite these innovations, however—or perhaps because of them—Hedges’s accomplishments as a composer have been overlooked. Hedges’s underlying methods link him to a much broader, more celebrated tradition of composers. This thesis considers the music of Hedges from this standpoint, with particular attention to questions of compositional influence. Chapter One establishes Hedges as an “idiosyncratic minimalist” who simultaneously inherits the style from its founders while exercising his direct links to its roots. To do so, this chapter considers minimalism theoretically and culturally to show the complex nature of Hedges’s relationship with minimalism. Chapter Two investigates Hedges’s compositional uses of the Fibonacci Series and Golden Ratio. Tracking his fascination with the subject back to a book investigating the manifestations of the Fibonacci series in Bartok’s music, this chapter adopts this book’s methodology to search for such manifestations in the music of Hedges. -
Improvise: a User Interface for Interactive Construction of Highly-Coordinated Visualizations
IMPROVISE: A USER INTERFACE FOR INTERACTIVE CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHLY-COORDINATED VISUALIZATIONS By Christopher Eric Weaver A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (COMPUTER SCIENCES) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN – MADISON 2006 Copyright by Christopher Eric Weaver 2006 All Rights Reserved For Kim . gdmfsoab! i Abstract The development of exploratory visualization tools based on coordinated multiple views has become an important area of information visualization research. One goal of this research is to allow users to explore their data by switching freely between building and browsing in a flexible, integrated, interactive graphical environment that requires minimal programming skill to use. However, the range of possibilities for displaying data across multiple views depends on the flexibility of coordination, the expressiveness of visual abstraction, and the ability of users to comprehend the structure of their visualizations as they work. As a result, data exploration has been limited in practice to a small subset of visualizations that are both useful and usable. This dissertation describes four primary contributions to the field of information visualiza- tion. The first contribution is a conceptual model of multiple view coordination, Live Prop- erties, in which views tightly couple through shared objects that describe the navigation and selection state of a visualization. The second contribution is a visual abstraction language, Coordinated Queries, loosely based on the relational data model. Views aggregate, filter, sort, and graphically encode data records using declarative expressions that can be defined in terms of interactive parameters. The third contribution is a conceptual model of metavisualization, in which the interactive structure of coordinated visualizations can be explored by visualizing it in situ, directly in the running visualizations themselves.
