New Music Composition In Computer Assisted Environments

The body of work presented in this volume explores some of my acoustic, electroacoustic and audiovisual compositions during a period of post graduate study, in particular works generated through investigations into commercially available computer music software. The purpose of the text is to chronicle, typify, and contextualise the creation of various works, to galvanise the aesthetic foundations of the pieces and to illustrate compositional techniques that I have developed and explored. The work provides an overview of influences, constructs and conceptual ideology pivotal to my compositional process, including the analyse of various creative procedures as applied to commercially available computer music software.
