Scores into Bodies: communication between audiovisuals and instrumentalist

Henderson, Jordan (2025) Scores into Bodies: communication between audiovisuals and instrumentalist. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

Watching people play music together pulls one into the ensemble through their communicative gestures and social interaction. How can we preserve this sense of togetherness when one of the performers is computer generated and perhaps not a human form? This is a portfolio–based music composition research project that explores the design of non-human entities and how they communicate, proposes an initial conceptual understanding for ensemble performance, and creates a technical framework for the composition of multimedia interactive systems that prioritises relationships between sub– systems.
