Abstract

This portfolio explores ‘the cinematic aspects of electroacoustic music’ by way of three compositional contexts: acousmatic composition drawing on filmic resources, electroacoustic soundtracks for short films, and the narrative and imagic aspects of archival recordings. Additionally, a research report provides commentary on the aesthetic and methodological aspects of the portfolio.
