Arts Thread

This is the artistic outcome of a hybrid thesis that was completed from the Music and Media Technologies postgraduate degree at Trinity College Dublin. ‘Acousmatic Through Abstraction’ investigates the parallel characteristics of musique concrète and visual music practices to create an effective audiovisual acousmatic composition methodology. This research project involved creating a specialised compositional language for creating audiovisual acousmatic/electroscoustic works, because there is no existing methodology for such a specialised discipline. The final audiovisual work is divided into three acts - the first act entitled ‘Hold Still’, the second act called ‘Unravel’, and the final act called ‘Take Care’. This work reflects a deep and passionate engagement with my creative practice.
