S3646817 Phd Submission FINAL EDIT ! ! ! ! ! Folio of Compositions and Critical Commentary Leah Kardos B.Mus, PGCE, AMusA A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of Music ii! Abstract This folio of compositions and accompanying exegesis presents a collection of my original music that demonstrates an individual approach to composition which often seeks to exploit the various unique creative opportunities made possible through the use of music technology applications. Within the folio there is experimentation, collaboration, muscle memory improvisation, sampling, triggering and the “mashing up” of styles and contexts. Various forms and formats range from piano solos to concept albums, song cycles to orchestral scores, electro cover versions and live laptop electronics. The folio demonstrates a fascination with the transient, spatial quality of performed music versus the unchanging, deliberate nature of recorded musical productions, and the subjective listening experience of both. Particular approaches to composition explored in this exegesis include: the life of the score and recycling score-based music materials through human filters; attempting to communicate ideas using “sonic vernacular,” referring to the subtle sound language built from musical clichés, samples of other recordings, perceived sound quality and colour; exploring personal narratives through experimentations with muscle memory improvisation. This folio presents five works to illustrate these creative processes that are aided, facilitated or actualised by technology. It includes two “concept albums,” Feather Hammer, a collection of productions for multi-tracked prepared piano, and Machines, a song cycle; Three Preludes, a work for solo piano that is designed to be remixed and sampled; a work for chamber orchestra, Kick, and You Can’t Hide Beat, a collection of David Bowie cover versions created using samples from his own famous recordings. iii!

Rapidly evolving music technology applications and interfaces provide access to seemingly limitless sonic possibilities and unique forms of creativity, just as John Cage predicted1 (1937). There is a growing sense of stylistic freedom and the blurring of genre boundaries. Composers of new music are engaging with different styles and formats and flaunting the diverse influences that have fed into the development of a personal creative voice. It is not uncommon to see contemporary music makers such as Nico Muhly, Will Gregory and Clint Mansell working in different scenes simultaneously – from concert works to experimental electronica, from film and game soundtracks to pop songs. Such contextual shifts are not conscious efforts to “crossover” or create a “fusion” of styles, but rather they are part of a wider, more inclusive contemporary practice in music composition (Muhly 2007). New cultural theories suggest different intellectual and aesthetic directions coming after postmodernism, shaped by digital technologies, and unprecedented access to media and information on the internet; in the modern digital cultural landscape the genre boundaries relating to art are becoming increasingly irrelevant (Jameson 2003, Kirby 2009, Loīpez and Potter 2005). Technology has also empowered music makers to record and share their work easily and inexpensively with the world. No sound is impossible, no style is out of bounds, and a potential audience of millions is within clicking distance via the web. In this artistically tolerant environment, I have sought to develop a sonic and musical language that incorporates individualistic approaches to composition, performance practices and communicative musical gesture. In this introductory !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Arguably the most infamous of Cage’s written texts, The Future of Music: Credo, reads today like a factual description of the sonic landscape available to and being used by composers currently. Amongst its predictions it accurately forecasts the use of noise as music, electronic instruments that can provide “any and all sounds that can be heard” and a shift from keyboard-influenced music to a percussion-influenced kind where non-musical sounds are explored readily (1937). ! 2! presented in the folio; looking at some of the unique opportunities and approaches made possible by music technology applications and introducing the key concepts relating to emergent trends and “personally situated knowledge” (Barrett and Bolt 2007: 2) resulting from self-reflective Practice- based Research (Winter and Brabazon 2010, Smith and Dean 2009). Practice-based Research is a research methodology in which an artifact is created by the researcher, in this case a portfolio of compositions comprising of scores and recorded productions. The aims of the accompanying exegesis are to illuminate processes, offer interpretation and highlight the interdisciplinary practices relating to music making and engaging with technology, thus conceptualising the “difference between making something and studying

  • An Investigation of Nine Acousmatic Compositions
    A PORTFOLIO OF ACOUSMATIC COMPOSITIONS BY DAVID HINDMARCH A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham December 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This portfolio charts my development as a composer during a period of three years. The works it contains are all acousmatic; they investigate sonic material through articulation and gesture, and place emphasis on spatial movement through both stereophony and multi-channel environments. The portfolio is written as a personal journey, with minimal reference to academic thinking, exploring the development of my techniques when composing acousmatic music. At the root of my compositional work is the examination and analysis of recorded sounds; these are extrapolated from musical phrases and gestural movement, which form the basis of my musical language. The nine pieces of the portfolio thus explore, emphasise and develop the distinct properties of the recorded source sounds, deriving from them articulated phrasing and gesture which are developed to give sound objects the ability to move in a stereo or multi-channel space with expressive force and sonic clarity.

En principauté, le lancement des négociations avec l’Union européenne (UE) inquiète pas mal de monde. Notamment les professions libérales qui craignent Dde voir tomber le presque total monopole qu’ont les Monégasques sur ces professions très encadrées réglementairement. « Ceci entraînerait à très court terme la disparition de notre profession telle qu’elle existe depuis des siècles. Ce qui est très préoccupant. D’autant plus que ce sera la même chose pour les médecins, les architectes, les experts-comptables monégasques… », a expliqué à L’Obs’ le bâtonnier de l’ordre des avocats de Monaco, Me Richard Mullot. Une crainte qui a poussé les avocats, les dentistes, les médecins et les architectes à se réunir pour réfléchir à la création d’un collectif. Objectif : défendre auprès du gou- vernement leurs positions et leurs spécificités qui restent propres à chaque profession. En face, le gouvernement cherche à rassurer. Dans l’interview qu’il a accordée à L’Obs’, le ministre d’Etat, Michel Roger, le répète. Il est hors de ques - tion de brader ce qui a fait le succès de la princi- pauté : « Il n’y aura pas d’accord si Monaco devait perdre sa souveraineté ou si ses spécificités devaient être menacées.

From “Please Mr. Gravedigger,” the theatrical closing number on his 1967 self-titled debut album, to virtually every track on his final record nearly 50 years later, the protean musician mused perpetually on all matters of mortality: the loss of loved ones (“Jump They Say,” about his brother’s suicide), the apocalyptic end of the world (“Five Years”), his own impending passing.

David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text 1 David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text Jean Du Verger “The Word is devided into units which be all in one piece and should be so taken, but the pieces can be had in any order being tied up back and forth, in and out fore and aft like an innaresting sex arrangement. This book spill off the page in all directions, kaleidoscope of vistas, medley of tunes and street noises […]” William Burroughs, The Naked Lunch, 1959. Introduction 1 The urban landscape occupies a specific position in Bowie’s works. His lyrics are fraught with references to “city landscape[s]”5 and urban nightscapes. The metropolis provides not only the object of a diegetic and spectatorial gaze but it also enables the author to further a discourse on his own inner fragmented self as the nexus, lyrics— music—city, offers an extremely rich avenue for investigating and addressing key issues such as alienation, loneliness, nostalgia and death in a postmodern cultural context.
