Crichton, Colin (2013) Composing for Instruments and Electronics; a commentary on my recent music. Masters thesis, University of Huddersfield.
Abstract

The research presented here illustrates my interest and response to composing for acoustic instruments and electronics through the presentation of a body of eclectic works which combine an improvisatory approach to writing for acoustic instruments with the use of the studio as a compositional tool. The commentary will seek to illustrate how bringing these approaches together has allowed for a diversity of sonic exploration that would not have been possible with purely acoustic or electronic resources. As well as providing some background information and a general descriptive breakdown of the structure of these works, the commentary will provide a more in-depth contextualisation, which serves to illustrate the various influences upon the works. I will conclude by illustrating where this research has taken me and give examples of possibilities for future exploration.
