Collaborative computer music composition and the emergence of the computer music designer
This thesis was submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University London.This submission explores the development of collaborative computer music creation and the
role of the Musical Assistant, or Computer Music Designer, or Live Electronics Designer, or
RIM (RΓ©alisateur en informatique musicale) and does so primarily through the consideration of
a series of collaborations with composers over the last 18 years. The submission documents
and evaluates a number of projects which exemplify my practice within collaborative computer
music creation, whether in the form of live electronics, tape-based or fixed media work, as a
live electronics performer, or working with composers and others to create original tools and
music for artistic creations. A selection of works is presented to exemplify archetypes found
within the relational structures of collaborative work.
The relatively recent development of this activity as an independent metier is located within its
historical context, a context in which my work has played a significant role. The submission
evidences the innovative aspects of that work and, more generally, of the role of the Computer
Music Designer through consideration of a number of Max patches and program examples
especially created for the works under discussion. Finally, the validation of the role of the
Computer Music Designer as a new entity within the world of music creation is explored in a
range of contexts, demonstrating the ways in which Computer Music Designers not only
collaborate in the creation of new work but also generate new resources for computer-based
music and new creative paradigms
The aesthetics of Pierre Boulez
To enable the reader to find references as quickly and easily as possible, I have grouped all references together in the bibliography in alphabetical order. Texts by the same author are distinguished first by year and second, if there are several texts from the same year, by letter. Interviews and writing collaborations (including published correspondence) involving Boulez are also ordered alphabetically. The year given at the beginning of each bibliographical entry is, in the majority of cases, the year in which the text was first published (not necessarily the year of the edition cited). For all writings written by Boulez, I have provided the original title under which the text in question was first published (usually in French). Many articles have subsequently been translated into English and therefore I have decided to provide page references for both versions. For all texts by writers other than Boulez, I have cited the version of the text I have used. Wherever possible, I have cited the existing English translations of texts originally written in French. However, on many occasions I have considered it necessary to make alterations to the published translations. This is particularly applicable to Boulez on Music Today (1971) and Orientations (1986), both of which display an often heavy-handed and rather inaccurate approach to the task of translating specific concepts employed by Boulez. In contrast. Stocktakings of an Apprenticeship (1991) has required only occasional minor amendments. All changes to the published English translations are acknowledged in the corresponding footnote. None of the material m this thesis has previously been submitted for a degree in this or any other University. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. No quotation from it should be published without prior written consent and information from it should be acknowledged. I have received permission to exceed the word limit from the Graduate School Committee at the University of Durham
Mobile-Based Interactive Music for Public Spaces
With the emergence of modern mobile devices equipped with various types of built-in sensors, interactive art has become easily accessible to everyone, musicians and non-musicians alike. These efficient computers are able to analyze human activity, location, gesture, etc., and based on this information dynamically change, or create an artwork in realtime. This thesis presents an interactive mobile system that solely uses the standard embedded sensors available in current typical smart devices such as phones, and tablets to create an audio-only augmented reality for a singled out public space in order to explore the potential for social-musical interaction, without the need for any significant external infrastructure

Pierre Boulez (1925β2016) devoted a great deal of time and consideration to
the relationship between the composerβs invention and performance media, in
particular those related to the application of the latest technological breakthroughs
and new instruments. Boulezβs famous essay βTechnology and the Composerβ
(1977/1986) proclaims his desire to widen the range of expressive means of art
music by conquering new media. Boulezβs βvintageβ insights are here juxtaposed
with a contemporary Quantum Music project (2015β2018), and with one
particular piece written within this project: Super Position (Many Worlds) by
Kim Helweg (2017), commissioned by the Institute of Musicology SASA and
supported by the Danish Arts Foundation (Statens Kunstfond). At least two lines of thinking relevant for the present discussion can be drawn from Boulezβs text:
the frst dealing with the possible development of new musical instruments, and
the other inviting a merger between music composition and science.Π€ΡΠ°Π½ΡΡΡΠΊΠΈ Π°Π²Π°Π½Π³Π°ΡΠ΄Π½ΠΈ ΠΊΠΎΠΌΠΏΠΎΠ·ΠΈΡΠΎΡ ΠΡΠ΅Ρ ΠΡΠ»Π΅Π· (1925β2016) ΠΏΠΎΡΠ²Π΅ΡΠΈΠΎ

Composing Music for Acoustic Instruments and Electronics Mediated Through the Application of Microsound
This project seeks to extend, through a portfolio of compositions, the use of microsound to mixed works incorporating acoustic instrument and electronics. Issues relating to the notation of microsound when used with acoustic instruments are explored and the adoption of a clear and intuitive system of graphical notation is proposed. The design of the performance environment for the electroacoustic part is discussed and different models for the control of the electronics are considered. Issues relating to structure and form when applied to compositions that mix note-based material with texture-based material are also considered. A framework based on a pure sound/noise continuum, used in conjunction with a hierarchy of gestural archetypes, is adopted as a possible solution to the challenges of structuring mixed compositions. Gestural and textural relationships between different parts of the compositions are also explored and the use of extended instrumental techniques to create continua between the acoustic and the electroacoustic is adopted. The role of aleatoric techniques and improvisation in both the acoustic and the electroacoustic parts are explored through adoption of an interactive performance environment incorporating a pitch-tracking algorithm. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of real time recording and processing of the electronic part when compared with live processing of pre-existing sound-files are discussed
An investigation into the spectral music idiom and its association with visual imagery, particularly that of film and video
The exploration of timbre became increasingly significant throughout the 20th century, with some composers making it the essence of their music. This artistic development occurred in conjunction with a technological advancement that together would contribute to the birth of what is now called `spectral music\u27 . Using computers, composers have been able to discover the spectra of frequencies that exist at different strengths for various sounds. The information realised then became the spectral musician\u27 s primary ingredients for composing some extraordinary works. Despite its innovative quality, spectral music is yet to gain widespread interest amongst ensembles, orchestras and ultimately the public. The first two chapters of this thesis are dedicated to the emergence of this largely unknown compositional discipline, its principal composers and the direction spectral music has taken since its inception
MMixte: a software architecture for Live Electronics with acoustic instruments : exemplary application cases
MMixte is a middleware based on Max for mixed music with live electronics. It enables
programming for a βpatcher concertoβ, a platform, that is, for the management of live
electronics in just a few minutes and with extreme simplicity. Dedicated to average and
expert users, MMixte enables true programming of live electronics in very little time while
also enabling easy adapting of previously developed modules, depending on the case
and its needs. The architecture behind MMixte is based on a variation of so-called
βpipeline architecture"; the analysis of the most widely used software architectures in the
market and design patterns to program graphic interfaces has led to the conception of
ways of organizing communication between various modules, the way they are being
used and their graphic appearence. Analysis of other, βstate of the artβ module collections
and other software programs dedicated to mixed music shows the absence of another
work on software architecture for mixed music. Application of MMixte to some of my
personal works shows demonstrates its flexibility and ease of adaptation. Computer

The integrated sound, space and movement environment : The uses of analogue and digital technologies to correlate topographical and gestural movement with sound
This thesis investigates correlations between auditory parameters and parameters associated with movement in a sensitised space. The research examines those aspects of sound that form correspondences with movement, force or position of a body or bodies in a space sensitised by devices for acquiring gestural or topographical data. A wide range of digital technologies are scrutinised to establish what the most effective technologies are in order to achieve detailed and accurate information about movement in a given space, and the methods and procedures for analysis, transposition and synthesis into sound. The thesis describes pertinent work in the field from the last 20 years, the issues that have been raised in those works and issues raised by my work in the area. The thesis draws conclusions that point to further development of an integrated model of a space that is sensitised to movement, and responds in sound in such a way that it can be appreciated by performers and audiences. The artistic and research practices that are cited, are principally from the areas of danceand- technology, sound installation and alternative gestural controllers for musical applications
'The Significance of TechnΓ© in Understanding the Art and Practice of Electroacoustic Composition'
The birth of electroacoustic music is associated with an era of creativity which is now firmly embedded in the past. As the years advance so the opportunities for evaluating the pioneering years of the medium become increasingly remote. Few can now claim first-hand experience of working with the technologies that shaped and influenced the evolution of the early repertory, and many commentators are content to see them consigned to the museum. Others are less sure, having become aware of a number of features that appear to have no parallels in the modern all-digital domain. This article is predicated on the proposition that the functional characteristics of the equipment available during the formative years materially influenced the ways in which composers developed their compositional aesthetic. By studying the characteristics of the resulting interactions, important clues emerge as to the true nature of this engagement. Central to this study is the nature of the technΓ© involved in these processes of creativity, and the significance of this is evaluated in the context of establishing a case for further research in this area. Particular attention is paid to the role of the tape recorder in this context, in particular its influence on the development of spatialisation techniques
