Abstract: | The driving idea behind this work is to compose a cycle of pieces by following a composition process in which the personal, individual and everyday life elements of each performer in the process become a fundamental part of the material from which the audio, visual and theatrical elements in each piece are composed. In order to create the pieces in this PhD portfolio, I developed a distributed creative strategy for the composition process, involving western trained musicians and improvisers working in close collaboration with me. The work additionally develops two compositional strategies: (1) to explore the use of live electronics sound transformation as a tool to generate sound material from the interaction between the collaborators and to emphasize the unique sound possibilities of each performance; (2) to experience collaboration with diverse artists and non-artists, in order to open more avenues to think about and analyse the results of the collaborative process. |
