Live-Acousmatic Composition and Performance

该项目将扩展声学作曲工作的方法和成果（电声音乐在工作室创作到固定介质，并在音乐会中使用多个扬声器扩散）。作曲，技术，创意和表演实践研究将为项目的各个方面提供信息。这项工作将研究新的作曲技术、方法和词汇，以创造一个大约20分钟持续时间的大型声学作品，更生动，更少固定。音乐会中声音材料的定向运动扩散到听众周围的多个扬声器上，将进一步决定声音材料的音色、形态、时间和组合参数，而不仅仅是在演播室中组成、指定和固定的参数。基于计算机的技术和软件将扩展声音传播的动态和解释性元素，导致一种新的表演实践形式。软件环境将使用MaxMSP和MANTIS基于计算机的声音扩散系统开发，该系统允许对空间和其他定义参数进行响应和准确的衔接和交互。将研究在新方法和实践中的适当性和有效性。与之前的作品主要利用机械声源不同，新作品将融合更自然、更流畅、更有质感的声音。流动、可变性和能动性的主题将为作品的创作关注和概念提供信息，适合于现场声学作曲和表演的可变性。公开音乐会展示新作品对这个项目至关重要。它将在MANTIS特别音乐节（2007年11月9日）首演，为曼彻斯特大学耗资220万英镑的新电声工作室揭幕。这将是一个备受瞩目的活动，来自英国和国外的杰出从业者将出席。这篇作文也将作为我的几部作品之一以CD或dvd音频的形式出版。（加拿大蒙特利尔的Empreintes Digitales表示有兴趣）。一段时间的母带（与蒙特利尔的电声母带专家Dominique Bassal一起）将确保达到最高的技术标准和出版和传播的技术创新。该研究将被评估并发表在一篇文章中，发表在期刊和会议出版物中，包括组织声音和国际计算机音乐和声音艺术网络会议。

The project will extend the methodologies and outcomes of acousmatic compositional work (electroacoustic music composed in the studio to a fixed medium and diffused in concert using multiple loudspeakers). Compositional, technical, creative and performance practice research will inform all aspects of the project.The work will research new compositional techniques, methodology and vocabulary to create a large-scale acousmatic composition of approximately 20 minutes duration that is more live, and less fixed. The directed movement of sound material in concert diffusion onto multiple loudspeakers surrounding the listening audience will further determine the timbral, morphological, temporal and assemblage parameters of sound material, beyond those composed, specified and fixed in the studio. Computer-based technologies and software will extend the dynamic and interpretative elements of sound diffusion, leading to a new form of performance practice. A software environment will be developed using MaxMSP and the MANTIS computer-based sound diffusion system that allows for responsive and accurate articulation and interaction of spatial and other defined parameters. Sound material will be researched for its appropriateness and effectiveness within the new methodologies and practice. Unlike previous work that has drawn predominantly upon mechanical-like sound sources, the new work will incorporate sounds that have a greater natural, fluid and textural characteristic. Themes of flux, mutability and kinesis will inform the creative concerns and concept of the work, appropriate to the variability of live-acousmatic composition and performance.Public concert presentation of the new work will be vital to the project. It will be premiered in a special MANTIS festival of concerts (November 9, 2007), inaugurating the opening of the new £2.2 million electroacoustic studios complex at the University of Manchester. This will be a high-profile event attended by distinguished practitioners from the UK and abroad . The composition will also be published as one of several of my works on a CD or DVD-Audio. (Empreintes Digitales, Montreal Canada has expressed interest). A period of mastering (with electroacoustic mastering specialist Dominique Bassal in Montreal) will ensure the highest technical standard and technological innovation for publication and dissemination is achieved. The research will be evaluated and presented in an article for refereed journal and conference publication including Organised Sound and the International Computer Music and Sonic Arts Network conferences.
