  • The Duality of the Composer-Performer
    The Duality of the Composer-Performer by Marek Pasieczny Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Arts Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Supervisors: Prof. Stephen Goss ©Marek Pasieczny 2015 The duality of the composer-performer A portfolio of original compositions, with a supplementary dissertation ‘Interviews Project: Thirteen Composers on Writing for the Guitar’. Abstract The main focus of this submission is the composition portfolio which consists of four pieces, each composed several times over for different combinations of instruments. The purpose of this PhD composition portfolio is threefold. Firstly, it is to contribute to the expansion of the classical guitar repertoire. Secondly, it is to defy the limits imposed by the technical facilities of the physical instrument and bring novelty to its playability. Third and most importantly, it is to overcome the challenges of being a guitarist-composer. Due to a high degree of familiarity with the traditional guitar repertoire, and possessing intimate knowledge of the instrument, it is often difficult for me as a guitarist-composer to depart from habitual tendencies to compose truly innovative works for the instrument. I have thus created a compositional approach whereby I separated my role as a composer from my role as a guitarist in an attempt to overcome this challenge. I called it the ‘dual-role’ approach, comprising four key strategies that I devised which involves (1) borrowing ‘New Music’ practices to defy traditionalist guitar tendencies which are often conservative and insular; (2) adapting compositional materials to different instrumentations; and expanding on (3) the guitar technique as well as; (4) the guitar’s inventory of extended techniques.

  • Positional Drum Notation
    Positional Drum Notation Sebastiano Bea, Mishel Johns Abstract—Sheet music designed for pitched instruments does not translate well to drum music. Our prototype drum set music notation is designed to allow efficient display of information and easy interpretation especially by novice learners. The notation maps the instruments in the drum set horizontally to match the usual location in the drum set, and adds easily distinguishable icons that visually resemble the instrument. Sections with identical music are consolidated and marked in a timeline for the musician to follow. Index Terms—Musical Notation, drums, positional mapping, vertical orientation INTRODUCTION Musical notation has been historically designed for instruments with pitches. The higher the note is on the score, the higher the 1 RELATED WORK pitch. Notes are seen as an ordinal variable, as they can be In this section we will present different notation systems which compared.
