Invading the Temple of Theatre: Retrouvailles as a Case Study of George Aperghis’ Compositional Thought and the Reimagination of Theatre through Music

Description:: In this essay I examine George Aperghis’ process-based compositional thought in the score and performance practice of Retrouvailles, with a focus on the non-hierarchical and simultaneous use of interdisciplinary elements.

The Role of Empathic Identification in Virtual Musical Agency

Description:: Listeners can experience strong and often positive identification with music. Contemporary research has emphasized the importance of a listener’s own identity, including their sense of self and their desires, when forming such identifications.

Re:Replay: On the Classical Arrangement and Concertization of Video Game Music

Description:: This dissertation examines the remediation of video game music from their source games to the concert hall.

I...

The Pocket: A Theory of Beats as Domains

In recent years, however, the study of music’s evolutionary origins has been revitalized.
