Dancing the Blues
Creative practice differs widely across the contexts of artistic performance and therapy. In this article the authors describe a novel example of how the otherwise separate fields of choreographic practices and dance movement psychotherapy (DMP) have fed into each other. More specifically, the article outlines (1) how research into the effectiveness of DMP for depression has been used to create an interdisciplinary performance and (2) how the cre…
Atomisation of Sound
The following paper seeks to draw attention to the significant and increasing amount of creative enquiry - over the last two decades or so – converging about the fulcrum of microsound. This is as true for electroacoustic, acousmatic or soundscape composers, as it is for minimal techno, glitch, noise, ambient, and other IDM or EDM sub-genres. \nInitially, in the discussions that follow I will outline the cultural and scientific origins of microsou…
For the Future 1
The following paper explores the fundamental aesthetic importance of algorithms in musical practice. It focuses upon areas of potentially far-reaching aesthetic consequence that currently seem to pose some problems/misunderstandings/misconceptions or an awkwardness of interface between the disciplines of computer science and music composition—including approaches to symbolic manipulation systems, and concepts such as optimization, population, fit…

The transmutation of the ‘Old’ with the ‘New’ in the Modernist vision of Edgard Varèse
In this paper, certain aspects of Varèse's life and work are discussed that have at times, I feel, been overemphasised, distorted, or even omitted, in order to lend greater weight to the depiction of him as a non-European (non-'Old World', non-traditional) and fully American (fully 'New World' radical Modernist, experimentalist) composer. The following article attempts to demonstrate how the past can be felt to resonate in concert with the presen…
Marking time
In the following article, I will look at ways in which Luigi Nono brings structure to, or as it were, marks time; during this investigation I shall make reference to some of the theories as postulated by Jonathan D. Kramer 1 Jonathan D Kramer The Time of Music, published by Schirmer Books, New York (shall be cited henceforth as JK) with respect to the definition of certain types or qualities of musical time. I will also look at the various method…

The following is taken from an interview between, Stephen Davismoon and André Richard, a long-time friend and associate of Luigi Nono who is now the Artistic Director of Das Experimentalstudio der Heinrich-Strobel-Stiftung, in Freiburg Germany. The interview took place during the Nono retrospective at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in November 1995
