Practices and sound

This research project investigates the relationship between music composition, particularly electronic pop, and sound design (the editing/mixing of sound for cinema), with its main focus on Multi-channel (Surround Sound) techniques. It proposes new practices that extend music compositional tools into embracing spatial techniques employed by sound design. My research encompasses both the conceptual development (ie spatial techniques in creating narratives) and the practical issues relating to the production and technology needed for such works.

This research examines how parametric loudspeakers may be considered unique acousmatic musical instruments; how the parametric acoustic array (PAA) can potentially make new forms of music and listening experiences; and how PAA-design problems can be overcome. Interdisciplinary in nature, the study uses grounded theory and experimental music practice within a design research methodology. Theory emerges from data, in concert with analysis and framing that draws on areas such as electroacoustic music, spatial composition, acoustics, PAA science/theory, modulation theory, and medium theory.

This study makes explicit assumptions that underpin sound PM practice that forms the required infrastructures for PM practice. It compares best PM practice with PM practice on distressed and troubled projects that takes place within the context of post-disaster relief projects where there is a notable absence of characteristics of required identified PM antecedents. It reviews traditional project management and international aid and development methodologies such as the ‘Logical Framework’, Project Cycle Management and Evaluation and looks at the best in each.

Piano principles Recording Real Pianos HUGH ROBJOHNS The essence of recording a musical instrument is to capture the most faithful possible rendition of the performance without distorting the tonal quality of the instrument or veiling it behind undesirable mechanical noises. Every piano presents its own unique set of problems and solutions and in this workshop I shall be suggesting some practical techniques to provide a starting point.
