The unfolding of sound: a portfolio of works

The research is practice-based, evolving through the creation of sound works inspired by the structural concepts identified by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Those concepts are based around ideas related to labels such as Assemblage, Strata, Smooth and Striated Space, Temporal Space and, The Fold.

The processes employed to undertake this research involved the creation of original texts, the development of frameworks for improvisation, the use of recordings within the process and implementation of techniques drawn from the practices of electroacoustic composition, and the use of ideas borrowed from electronic literature, publishing and game development. The results have helped to shape a compositional style which draws on these processes individually or collectively, drawing on practice often seen in game development, visual scores and composition using techniques found in electroacoustic music.
