Music Current 2020 score

This consists of ideas which led to the graphic and performance score and was a precursor to the graphic score Schion's Roo

The magical mountain

This is the result of a collaboration where the initial idea was set by another. The programme was realised as below. 16.08 & 02.09.201

An unknown building in four parts: part I

Linked to architectural line drawing this score tries many things, to ask performers to take risks, interpret an unknown building, materials, even in a 'new materialism' sense, perspective, elements, follow continuous lines and treat as musical lines, even to end up in a black hole. A separate document accompanies to explain further the rationale. This is intended as one signature means of composition expressing architecture. So far it has not been selected to be played. If it is a recording will be made and uploaded

Diversification in architectural and musical translation

Designed for the PGRA conference 21.05.2020 now cancelled due to Coronavirus, then revisited and extended to assist with collating thoughts for the main research lin

Nataraja

Based on a painting by Bridget Riley, exploiting line, colour, hromatography and exploring synaesthesia and translation to music in a graphic score. The attached sound file is a simulated student type performance. There is an attached score for this. The other attached open score is intended for a freer interpretation placing a lot of freedom upon performers. It has been submitted to the Orchestra in the Shape of a Pear (for 5 players). If it is selected and played a recording will be made and uploade

Making music out of architecture by various models—including by new theory: Total Field Theory (TFT)

This is my first paper delivered at a conference, The PGRA conference titled Transformations. It is left as annotated as delivered on the day. Additionally, an exploratory PowerPoint not delivered is attached indicating some of the ideas around the TFT

Mies van der Rohe Carr Chapel, Chicago, Illinois, 1949-1952

A paper written specifically for Katrina Burton, Programme Leader, Undergraduate Studies, Music BA, at Napier University, Edinburgh, who kindly provided much information on her work especially on her favourite architect Mies van der Rohe and specifically her musical work in connection with the Carr Chapel, Chicago

Making music out of architecture and from-architecture-music-an oddyssey

These are the documents submitted for the First Review as work-in-progress, the first (longer) and the second (shorter) versions of the PhD research project to date, together with a summary titled The Final Proposal for PhD for First Review September 2019. Please note that the first version is unfinished and needs approximately another 30,000 words, questions answered, some further exploration of points raised in discussion and other relevant points, revision and editing. The second version is on-going. Please Note: The file titled Latest save of Making music out of architecture seems unable to be viewed in Preview perhaps due to its size. It can however be viewed from Download in which case please allow some time for this to occur. The other two documents can be viewed in Previe

The Research of Thomas P. Branson

The Midwest Geometry Conference 2007 was devoted to the substantial mathematical legacy of Thomas P. Branson who passed away unexpectedly the previous year. This contribution to the Proceedings briefly introduces this legacy. We also take the opportunity of recording his bibliography. Thomas Branson was on the Editorial Board of SIGMA and we are pleased that SIGMA is able to publish the Proceedings.Comment: This is a contribution to the Proceedings of the 2007 Midwest Geometry Conference in honor of Thomas P. Branson, published in SIGMA (Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications) at http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA

Formal Adjoints and a Canonical Form for Linear Operators

We describe a canonical form for linear differential operators that are formally self-adjoint or formally skew-adjoint.Comment: 3 page
