| dc.description.abstract | Polyphonic Processes for Bass and Voice' carries dual meaning, referring first to a musical and instrumental methodology at the project's core, while accommodating an unexpected diversification of artistic discipline as the research unfolded. The current exposition traces the project's progression through the lens of five sub-projects at the intersection of music performance, sound design, and text-based arts. An idiosyncratic approach to double bass playing expanded into a sense of one's "instrument" as encompassing one's entire body and environment, which sparked more intentional design of audience perceptual flow and a revoicing of solo performance presence. In many cases, 'Polyphonic Processes' has answered initial research inquiries not through resolution but evolution, augmentation and a willingness to reorient the question itself. | en_US |
