Contemporary Social Theory as a Tool to Understand the Experiences of Disabled Students in Higher Education
This is a conceptual article which seeks to consider the use of contemporary social theory to help understand the experience of disabled students in higher education. The use of social theoretical insights has been criticised by many as demonstrating a lack of engagement with the everyday experiences of disabled people. Work which strives to embed theoretical insights into the study of disability has also been criticised for lacking engagement wi…
Theorising everyday life after acquired brain injury
This paper provides a conceptual argument for the sociological analysis of the everyday experiences of disabled people through the example of acquired brain injury (ABI) survivors. Most research concerning ABI has been carried out within a medical framework. This paper adds a new dimension to research concerning ABI, and indeed, to my knowledge, is the first to explore a long-term, interdisciplinary view of both ABI and neurological rehabilitatio…
Footprints in the Field
This paper encourages researchers to consider their own identity to be of particular importance within any research project. Rather than seeing our own identities as being fully formed and therefore detached from a project, this paper suggests that we invest ourselves into research and acknowledge the impact we have on research. Investing ourselves into research, also involves considering our identities to be open to adaption. Consequently, an in…
Predicting Timbre Features of Instrument Sound Combinations
In this paper we first introduce a set of functions to predict the timbre features of an instrument sound combination, given the features of the individual components in the mixture. We then compare, for different classes of sound combinations, the estimated values of the timbre features to real measurements and show the accuracy of our predictors. In the second part of the paper, we present original musical applications of feature prediction in …
How do I compose? (Reflections on Wagner Dream)
Written in May of 2007, in this text Jonathan Harvey reflects on his compositional method by returning to the genesis of his opera Wagner Dream. He notably addresses such things as: the personal associations connected to the first note played by the horn; the conceptual logic behind the two main harmonic spaces; the effect of a heavy storm in one of the places he composed; and what he drew from Wagner’s work and ideas for his own opera
Spectralism
The metaphysics of live electronics
The article revolves around the question of performance in live electronic works. After putting the problem in perspective by raising several esthetical and musical issues, the author goes on by illustrating some of these preocupations through a number of recent pieces. KEY WORDS: PerformanceInterpretationElectronic livenessElectronic instrumentInvisible presencePhysical presence
Music and inner meaning
A conversation between JONATHAN HARVEY, MICHAEL TUCKER and MAXWELL STEER. The discussion centres on psychological depth in the arts, and takes as its starting point Michael Tucker's book Dreaming With Open Eyes (HarperCollins 1992) which explores the role of the twentieth century artist as shaman. The participants compare the many attitudes to the numinous in the contemporary arts
