These works are presented in a variety of formats, including stereo and multi-channel fixed medium compositions, collaborative and interactive scenarios for instrument and live electronics, as well as laptop ensemble with network activity.<br><br>The works of the portfolio are discussed in the context of theoretical issues that relate to soundscape composition. This thesis also highlights recording techniques and compositional approaches in individual pieces, as well as identifying common threads throughout the portfolio.
