Facts, Fictions and the Alma Mahler Machine: A Schizoanalysis
In this review article, I will enlist the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, and Deleuze with Felix Guattari, to critique the standard model of music criticism as practised in musicology, and to facilit
The Rise and Fall, and the Rise (Again) of Feminist Research in Music: ‘What Goes Around Comes Around’
This article reports from a two-phase study that involved an analysis of the extant literature followed by a three-part survey answered by seventy-one women composers. Through these theoretical and empirical data, the authors explore the relationship between gender and music’s symbolic and cultural capital. Bourdieu’s theory of the habitus is employed to understand the gendered experiences of the female composers who participated in the survey. T…

Renovating Music Analysis
The Ubiquitous Century: Music and the Digital Arts
Dialoguing with the Divided Self as the Outline of a Becoming-Woman in Music
For more than 30 years, I have been researching contemporary women's classical music and have concluded that in the current time, it is difficult to believe in the utopian world for women in music that had once been imagined in the decade of the 1990s. According to Roffe, however, in Deleuzian thought utopia is not really about hope or an ideal society, but about who we are, and what we are capable of, here and now. In this paper, through a dialo…
The Woman Composer, New Music and Neoliberalism
This article focuses on the discrimination against women composers in the concert programming of Australian new music. The paper argues that the emphasis given to the individual, coupled with such technologies of neoliberalism as gender mainstreaming, exacerbates the problem. The New Music Network (NMN), comprising several government-funded new music performance groups, is discussed. The NMN is shown to perform more music by men in a situation th…
Sounding Noise
The Radical Potential of Becoming-Woman and Intra-Action in the Music of Anne Boyd
Anne Boyd (b. 1946) is recognised in the public domain as one of Australia's distinguished composers. Her work belongs in the Western art music tradition and emerges out of her entanglements with the Australian landscape and the music of South-East Asia. This article considers what some of these entanglements have produced and, in so doing, shifts the emphasis from questions of reflection and representation—in which Boyd's music might be understo…

These three rather different studies on Australian music, appearing within a matter of weeks of each other, are a welcome addition to the extant literature.1
A Thousand Dissonances: Music Research and the Nomadic Female Composer
A musical woman in a man's world: Rebecca Clarke
In the last decades of the twentieth century, an explosion of information became available on women's music through the concentrated research effort of a thriving scholarly community loosely affiliated with the feminist arm of musicology.1By the turn of the twenty-first century, however, despite the optimistic anticipation of a bright future by Susan McClary who, in 1993, wrote that it is ‘anybody's guess what will have transpired by the year 200…

Lyrebird Rising: Louise Hanson-Dyer of L'Oiseau-Lyre 1884-1962 by Jim Davidson
Women, New Music and the Composition of Becomings
This article argues that 'new' music continues to replicate itself by being based on a set of outdated, inflexible practices which foster the centrality of the male, entrepreneurial, composing subject. Aesthetic distinctiveness has been muzzled because too many composers are competing for the same recognition and the same small 'pot of money', giving rise to musical mediocrity. The article notes that while the number of women composers studying m…
