Abstract:

This Thesis investigates a series of transformative studio production processes used in the creation of Acousmatic music from fixed media sourced on a research trip to the Huế peninsula in Vietnam.

It also looks at a history of the graphical arrange page in a Digital Audio Workstation and relates to the graphical metaphors in the depiction of the sound objects used in the graphical arrange page to Denis Smally’s Spectromorphological analytic framework.
