Creative work spans acoustic,
electroacoustic and computer music composition, and revolves
increasingly around paradigms with constructivist elements, especially
regarding an emphasis on the sonically tactile or textural. Acoustic
music includes experimental instrument design. Recent electroacoustic
music explores commentary between the musical and the 'real' (e.g.,
sampled) sound domains; and juxtaposition of sound that is visually
evocative with that which spawns a purely auditory focus. Work in
progress involves real-time processing for spectral distortions of
original sounds.
Research interests have centered around theories of musical analysis;
analytic models for contemporary musics with fundamentally timbral
orientations; the structure-affect relationship especially as it
impacts listener dynamics; compositional applications of the pitch
continuum, stochastics, and computer-assisted techniques. Recent
interests include gender issues in the field of music technology; and
historical/cultural premises as they impact esthesis and poesis.
