Description
Summary:This thesis consists of a unified portfolio of eight compositions focused on and exploring alternative versions of the 3rd channel, which is a personal approach to composition and a way to describe my compositional technique. The instrumentation employs a variety of forces, and it is mainly for solo instruments and small/chamber ensembles – always with the accompaniment of a tape part – plus a summative, large-scale installation for eight speakers. The presented works were composed between December 2009 and August 2013. The commentary presents an individual, in-depth analysis of the eight pieces in order to reveal the methodology of their compositional process(es).
