| Summary: | This dissertation explores my process of drawing inspiration from visual objects and visual arts in order to generate compositional tools for music writing. It analyzes some of my earlier works, when this practice started taking shape, up until the construction of Bad Habits, an orchestral piece that utilized the late works of late North American painter Philip Guston as its main drive. The text follows a chronological and journal-like approach that seeks to dissect and investigate each step from the elaboration to the organization of each element drawn from visual objects in order to create a cohesive composition that leans heavily on subjectivity as it pays homage to Guston as an individual and as an artist. |
